BoppinBob I understand basketball economics. I also understand that Asik would have cost just $5 million for the first two years, a low price for a center of his talent. I also know that the Bulls have always been an organizational afraid to spend money. But you’re right, it’s good I’m not the GM…I mean the Bulls don’t need another elite defensive player and rebounder, right?

Bob, perhaps you don’t understand the truth. The Bulls cheaped out and let a great back-up center leave the team. All because they didn’t want to spend any money. The “economics” of Bulls ownership is confusing you.

Breadan, your snide comment about not having a “Turkish center” shows your total lack of understanding of the economics of professional basketball. It is a good thing you are not the GM.

Thibs handling of Butler seems to have worked out so I can’t critize the way he is handling Teague.

As far as Cook and the Rad man getting playing time, what little I have seen of them they were lost on the defensive end of the court. Bulls b-ball starts with defense. They will get PT when they learn the defense.

Injuries happen. Teams have to fight through them as best they can. I am writing after the Bulls beat the Hawks, so now they are 5-6 playing on no rest and not being healthy. Noah will always be dealing with ankle or knee problems because of his size and build. Gibson is there to back him up. As long as the Bulls don’t rush players back from injuries I have no problem with the way Thibs and his staff are handling the players.
