Lakers now have no outside shooter and the bulls do. Thats basically it. ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be. With the pieces they already have in place and myself, we can do some amazing things next season." Maurice Taylor
So, the Lakers get no compensation for Rice. The Bulls lie through their teeth (I read on one of the websites, maybe bskball.com or nba.talk, that the Bulls laughed off talk about Glen Rice). ------------------
The guy I read that said the Bulls "laughed off" those reports was none other than Bill the Rocket guy. Big surprise. ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi? Draftsource.net ClutchTown.com 4th Friday of August= Rocket Day 1999-Steve Francis 2000-Maurice Taylor
Thank you for the reminder. So either they jerked him around or he jerked us around. Striking a familiar chord. In any case, a semi-interesting development, considering how the Lakers have not yet secured a real PF. Rice was their best card to play in that game. ------------------
What are you talking about? The Lakers picked up those 2 Euro PF's.... oh wait.... you're right! They got NO compensation Could the Bulls make the playoffs in the East now? ------------------
This just further proves that Chicago has no idea what they're doing. Why would you pick up a guy like Rice when you're trying to rebuild? Look for Rider to start for LA. This doesn't hurt them much. ------------------ "The only problem is I always think of the guitar player from Dokken when I hear his name." -Traj, on the possibility of George Lynch joining the Rockets.
Isiah Rider starting will hurt anyone!!! Plus Ron Harper doesn't actually have any knees anymore... ------------------
There goes Elton Brand's line on the stat sheet. Rice is FINALLY in a place where he can shoot, and shoot, and shoot, and shoot. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
