Chris18 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 There is no reason that Smoove shouldn't be re-signed by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwell Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 No they aren't. Okafor is 2.75" taller, his standing reach is 4" higher and he weighs 20 pounds more than Smith. measurements He can definitely play center although he is better splitting his time between the 4 and 5. Having said that i am fine with Smith getting 6 years $72 million. Smoove came in as a growing high schooler. He's prolly a little taller now.

High5 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yeah that is definitely not apples/apples. Man HIgh5 I keep thinking you are Exodus with the identical avatars. He has a few more posts than I do. But I can't remember a play more exciting than that one. I'll have this avatar for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of that play really made it huge, the fact that it was at home against Boston in the playoffs. But there is another play that JJ made in the regular season that just floored me and turned the season around. I think i will start a new thread about it.

thecampster Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 [Devin] "Come On Man" [/Hester] I mean "Come on Man".....that was a great bit they did the other day about him. Devin Hester is just plain sick. Oh and guess what? He got paid so again I say...ASG....Come on Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Before I start, it's been 4 years since I posted on this board (although i read it fairly religiously). A whatup to Dolfan and the guys. Long time no see. Wow it's been a long time since I have seen you posting, welcome back! I think that at this point the only question is whether or not they want Smith back. The market for him has been set and it will cost an average of 12 million per year over the life of the deal to get it done. Whether he gets paid that by us, or by someone else, that's what it will take to sign him. So the team needs to decide whether or not they want him back and it's really that simple. Thank God the other RFAs have finally started signing contracts as that should put max pressure on the ASG and Sund to get something done, either sign or trade.

DrReality Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 League sources have informed HOOPSWORLD that the Chicago Bulls and restricted free agent Luol Deng may have reached a deal on a new contract. Sources say the deal could be worth as much as $81 million on a new six-year deal, hinting that the deal on the table could fall anywhere between $71 million and $81 million depending on unspecified incentives. Sources also say that the Bulls will now focus more attention on Ben Gordon, and hope to get something done with him in the next few weeks.

Premium Member hawkman Posted July 30, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 glad I saw your tag....prompted me to go get another one. Cat----Deng----Smooth PPG----17.0-------17.2----- +.2 RPG----6.3-------8.2------ +1.9 APG-----2.5-------3.4------- +.9 Stl-------.9-------1.5------- +.6 Blk------.46-------3.4-------+2.94 FG%----47.9------.45.7----- -2.2% And Deng got 6 years, 70 million. To quote the 2 live stu's.. "Come on Man" Nice post(s). It seems that the home fans are a bit more critical of Smoove despite his drastic improvement from year one in the ATL. My memory isn't that short so I know the young man's value to this team. He WAS our post defense this past season. He missed a lot of three pointers but he made some pretty darn crucial ones too. I'm pretty sure we all know that but only some of us choose to look at the positive here. After the way we played Boston in the first round, I thought the atmosphere would change around here. I was wrong. Strangely, it seems to have gotten worse. That doesn't mean that I think Smoove is without his faults, but to say that he isn't worth the big bucks compared to the guys mentioned above is ridiculous. The grass is NOT always greener on the other side. If we don't cultivate what we already have, we will be in rebuilding mode sooner rather than later.

If he gets close to 81 mill, and Smoove isn't signed by 12 pm it's on and poppin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 If he gets close to 81 mill, and Smoove isn't signed by 12 pm it's on and poppin... Are you suggesting that we should pay Smoove 81 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree Smith is better than Okafor, but you also left out another important stat. Turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swish Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Eazy TO's come from being stupid yes but also from being agressive and trying to make plays I love fast reply. At first I wasn't so sure about this new forum but I am in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris18 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree Smith is better than Okafor, but you also left out another important stat. Turnovers. You would expect Smoove to have more turnovers because he is more of a playmaker and creates for others while Emeka does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 absolutely not, he deserves 72 mil though... I agree with that considering what others are getting. There's no way in the world I would go 81 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I saw said 6 years 70 mill. His source is the first I heard 81 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
