This is it. Not like I'd have to become used to rooting for a Twin Cities team. I know how it goes.

NBA League Pass and I'm good to go. Fuck you Reinsdorf. Fuck you Gar. Fuck you Pax. Fuck you Hoiberg. Why should fans remain loyal to the organization when the organization doesn't give a fuck about you.

Jump on board, my friends.

Was my favorite team from their inception until Garnett left. I wouldn't mind following the Bucks in the East and the Wolves in the West.

I get the pass every year for the Wolves and Warriors, plus others. I'll split it with you, IMU...

The truth is that they are likely to be in the bottom half of the conference. You heard it here first.

Of course Tibbs will continue to get a pass because people her love him except me. I saw through him even when he was here. All bark, no bite.

And now with Butler they have no shot at being good. They should have asked me about these guys before they got them. I was on the Butler thing before anyone. This is basic shit for me.

I already have a Western Conf team that I like....but once Dirk retires I might switch to Minny. I like Thibs and Towns.

Sad to see so many fair weather fans.

Don't quit the Bulls. Quit the NBA. They are the ones that caused dumb trades like this to be needed.

Dallas has been a wasteland since that year they lucked into a title.

I am not quitting on the Bulls. They will forever be my team. Just may pull for Minny at times, I like what they put together there.

Thibs needs depth. His bench sucks. Also, they need to fix their ugly court.

They did not luck into a title. Dirk was a monster in those playoffs.

They have been a wasteland, but I will always like Dirk and will pull for the Mavs as long as he is there.

I've always been a Bears fan. Always.

I didn't switch to another team from the White Sox. Switching to Minnesota is being a fair weather fan.

This trade was made because the NBA sucks and forces these kind of things to happen.

They had an incredibly easy draw in the 2011 Playoffs.

New Orleans - No problem
Lakers - A team that had completely quit on its coach
OKC - A very young team with their first big test
Heat - Lebron completely disappeared at times of this series

Let's also mention that the #1 seed spurs lost in the first round to the Grizz.

You're wrong. This trade was made because GarPax is incompetent. That's it.

It's ok to root for more than one team. There's no fan requirement for limits on teams you appreciate.

The Bulls were an 8 seed last year. What could they have done to become a title contender?

Sign quality free agents and make smart draft picks. They've been bad at both.

It's ridiculous to suggest that because there are 3 teams in the NBA better than everyone else that a GM is then forced to trade his best player for almost nothing.

Give me a break...

They did not play NO in the first round. They played a solid Portand team that took them to 6 games.

They played the 2 seed Lakers ...they cannot control other teams drama

OKC was young, but they were a damn good team...a team that beat the Grizz who knocked off the Spurs. A lot of people expected OKC to get past the Mavs in that series...but they did not have an answer for Dirk.

In the finals, the Heat were supposed to roll to the title with the Big 3. But Dirk was a monster and could not be stopped. He carried them past the big 3 to a title.

Yep and whatever it's worth Lavine was a 19 points per game scorer. He was considered valuable, a building block when he became injured and now he is considered "nothing"

LaVine seems like an alright player. The issue is that we traded an All NBA player and LaVine, who is coming off an ACL year and is due for a huge contract next summer if he's good, is the best ASSET we got in return. That's a problem.

don't forget the fact that you couldn't even get a pick from them, all you did is move up 9 spots

I never expected the Bulls to contend for the championship during Tibs reign, but I liked the personnel and I liked what Tibs did with the personnel. I don't like the coach and I increasingly dislike the personnel now. It matters little to me that they won't contend for a championship. The Wolves won't get past the Warriors either...it's just fun to watch them.

The Wolves won 31 games last year.

This isn't a temporary move until the Bulls can win 50 games. The Bulls front office forced my hand. They do not give a shit about putting a competitive team on the floor. They are petty when it comes to coaching. The ownership does not hold the front office accountable. They disrespect their best player and the only player that gave his all every single night. They refused to have a direction the past several years.

So a few bad years and you give up on a team and choose another? That's a fair weather fan. Good luck.
