I mean at the very least, a playoff appearance helps attract free agents.
I would be surprised if the Bulls made the playoffs.
Also, I hope Wade faxed his decision to Pat Riley.

It's the right move on both sides.I mean at the very least, a playoff appearance helps attract free agents.
Fuckin' Wade. I get why he did it and all, but still. Him taking a discount historically is his own doing. I side with management on this one... his departure is a cap blessing in disguise. He can go tarnish his own legacy, whatever.
Bosh will retire, they'll be back a lottery team, and they'll have all the cap room in the world to sign whoever they want over the next two seasons.
The Bulls best chance is to just be a defensive lockdown team, mud it up and get a lot of transition baskets. Cause offensively they are looking to be easy to guard... just play off and protect the paint.I'm grateful that our season will now be much more entertaining.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what the plan is long term outside of a theoretical splash signing in 2017 on the strength of his Wade/Rondo's performance this year, which is a gamble. This team is not good enough to chase rings in 2016 and now their core is old.

Spending a couple of seasons at the end of his career on his hometown team is not tarnishing his legacy, regardless of whether they compete or not.He can go tarnish his own legacy, whatever.

Lol at Duncan's retirement versus Kobe's. He's an admirable guy.
Plus Duncan didn't tarnish his legacy with a stupid Ghostbusters commercial.
Duncan also had the better career :runsforcover:
Duncan was the ultimate professional. Incredible player. Also, I agree with Dirk Nowitski's comments "He was always about winning, never about making a brand out of himself."
