First
Another 3 peat for the bulls if that really happen? 😅
Second (love your videos)
We're so close, yet so far from being a contender. Every dang player swears they were almost a bull
Man I don’t even want to remember this
we probably could have won 6 more Championships
Love the channel but what’s the point of talking about this hypothetical stuff? It didn’t happen. Let’s move on.
I still believe we get Joe Johnson that offseason we beat the Heat in that series and win it all.
That line up looks insane no lie 😂
Man it will always be to hell with those 3 in Miami. It would have been way more epic and satisfying to win the chip beating those clowns.
How i understand the 2010 now, Bulls never had a change! That agreement to join with Heat was made long time before free agency. Free agency show was just for to mislead other teams. I dont believe that take! What about James comments about Bulls 2010? Bulls even dumped Hinrich! And, how super that Heat team where actually? They went 2/4. Not so create.
Yes, and no… if this would've have happened, Derek rose wouldn't be the Derek rose We know and love. Derek rose said himself, them not coming to the bulls is what motivated him to become the player he became and a future MVP. He looked at it as I have to be the star now because nobody else will.
SO glad we never got that self-righteous, self promoting, passive agressive, 2X P.E.D involved, 4rth qtr turnover prone wanna be version of Magic, the one and only LeBronda Shames. 🍻✌️
That team should've been good enough to get at least 3 titles.
That lineup would have no spacing 😭
Just imagine if we kept Ben Gordon in 2009. Yes he fell off but he would’ve been good until 2012 with Rose then we could trade him once butler developed
All we needed was a healthy Rose with Noah and it'd have been a dynasty. Fuck, I'm even disrespecting Carlos Boozer for saying that. A healthy D Rose changes NBA history.
Didn't need to rehash this pain today 😢
Would have had a crap bench. I always wonder about keeping Gordon and having him come off the bench playing 30mpg behind Bogans who played 18mpg.
Bulls dont take the risks but when they do its bad risks
If the Big 3 happened with the Bulls, I might not have been a Bulls fan. I started watching NBA basketball in 2013. Deng was my 2nd favorite NBA player, and I loved how he and Noah (my fave player) carried those underdog Bulls to break the streak in 2013 and into the playoffs. I just loved rooting for the underdogs back when I first started watching the NBA, and I knew that any team with Lebron and that much talent were not underdogs. I probably would've been a more diehard fan of the Warriors, or the Clippers with Deng, or even a Houston fan, who were on the comeup that time.
We only had 2 max spots right
Lebron and KD ruined the NBA. I'm glad he didn't come to Chicago. Players conspiring to build super-teams is not fair to small market franchises.
Literally pain frfr 🥴🤦🏿♂️ but why nobody never talked about pau signing though? We had an legit shot to be in the finals in 2015. Ah pain
A lot to consider if that deal would have happened. I wonder how well Noah and Lebron would have gotten along 🤔
Well it didn’t happen, the core of Deng, Rose, Noah, Boozer, Gibson…became one of my favorite Bulls teams (even without a title).
Besides Wade came to Chicago eventually (although it was just to recruit Jimmy Butler to Miami).
Looks like our current FO is as stubborn as GarPax. We will see.
Hard to say no to Miami though with the weather and taxes
Yeah that's nice to say 10+ years later by KC.. As much as I like KC, that is not the truth. At that time Bron had a real axe to grind with Chicago and he attempted to weaken the team with the flirting. Trading deng on a wish would have eliminated to Bulls chances to compete with that Heat team as Deng was a good offensively and a very very good defender on the wing that you could afford to play big minutes. Wade went along with it and Bosh was the guy the Bulls thought they could get as a worse case until he announced. It was so obvious that Chicago was not the real option after once people realized that Riley could indeed sell everything on the Heat roster and was able to make this happen that year. Also at that time the Idea that Lebron (the King of Cleveland, even though he hadnt won anything) was gonna leave Cleveland was almost unbelievable, and especially to go to Chicago of all places (a real historic rival at that time, the hate was still strong back then and Noah didnt make it any better early on either) was not something anyone believed he would actually do at all. It was hard to think he would leave, but Chicago was the very last team in the league everyone knew he would leave for. He wasn't trying to chase MJ's ghost in MJ's house.. No way and those that were watching knew it.
Wade even recently stated that D rose was the reason they decided not to go to the bulls due to him needing the ball (I dont really like to believe Wade on anything, based on what he pulled back then, but it is what he said, if you pay attention to those old interviews about their options, he very very careful to try to avoid people getting the idea that the moves were not clean moves but everyone in the Chicago knew that man was lying when he spoke about how things went down..He has this look when he is trying to be a slick azz and its familiar if you know what your looking at). People that were paying attention, didnt like that Heat group even more because it was so obvious that the Chicago thing was fabricated and that Wade had put this whole thing together AND included Riley behind the scenes on it for months yet the league couldn't prove anything due to Wade being a member of he Heat and his legal right to broker deals in his best interest while claiming the team had nothing to do with his politicking and didnt know (really??)..
Lastly, none of those guys were going to give up not having to pay state taxes on their Multi million dollar deal and the beaches to go play in the high taxed winters of Chicago if they had a choice.. It was Brons 1st real Free agency and Bosh's too iirc, the weather comments by them both at the time reinforced what we all knew. They, especially Wade though the fans were fools and the league was clueless and he still does to a degree today. Bron and Bosh were not as seasoned with the deception as Wade and told on themselves all summer. They looked at each other and laughed like frat brothers when providing the "script". You really think Wade was "Nervous" to find out that one of his best friends off the court was going to do? You really think Lebron seconded guessed his decision AFTER he made it? No.. Dont buy the BS..
Bulls management knew they were getting played, as with the additions of Wade and Bron, the Bulls clearly had enough to win chips, but Wade and Bron slow cooked the hellz out of those talks with Chicago, which said something when you can offer them the, clearly obvious, best supporting cast in the league at that time from a talent and Fiscal perspective.
