They aren't easy. You have to have connections.

You son of a gun. I'm sick of hearing about you and your connections. Don't tell me you were courtside.

The Bulls better do something soon, they could easily be 2-10 or 1-11 after the circus tour.
The trade isn't dead. Pax is waiting until they get desperate. The door isn't closed.

The Bulls are 1-6.

The Lakers are 5-3.


Seems to me that the Bulls are going to get desperate before the Lakers are.

Apparently you weren't paying much attention to "As the Kobe Turns" last summer. He wants out of LA and it has little to do with anything on the court at this point (Ric Bucher and Marc Stein agree, btw). The Bulls struggles may mean he isn't coming to Chicago, but he will not be a Laker for long if he can help it.

this time.

My dad should legally change his name to ticketmaster because I can't remember the last time we paid for a sporting event.

I'm just saying, why would the Lakers be "desperate" enough to give him away? They're winning basketball games, and they don't HAVE to trade him. Kobe's been running his mouth for years. I think the Lakers can live with it for awhile longer.

It just seems like a bit of irony to think that a 1-6 team believes that they can wait for a winning team to become desperate.

2-8 :D

Not only are they bad, but they're also not much fun to watch. Run down chuck up a long jumper, chase the other team to the other end of the court..........

It's not really a quality brand of basketball.

Their offense is uncomfortably brutal to watch. I saw them here in Phoenix and to see the two contrasts was so bad it was funny.
