Ready for the 2pm presser...

[19210]

The NBA feed keeps pausing for me after 5 seconds. Anybody else have the same issue?

I don't hate Fred for leaving, but he almost gives off the feel like he's trying not to get caught up in some lie(s). Just not real sure of himself which makes him sound like a used car salesman, although I'm sure most of it is just nerves.

Wish him the best, but I hope we can do better!

Thanks for the memories Fred!

It's funny because 6 months ago, the front office wanted Doug McDermott in the D-League and Thibs said no.

Now I'm sure the front office will be all over McDermott's D.

Goodbye Fred.

Guy is probably exhausted from everything going on lately, and is probably not back to 100%

I can't imagine what he's gone through emotionally in the past few weeks.

Sad seeing him up there but I'm happy he gets to live out his ultimate dream.

Ohhhhh.. the entire city of Chicago just cringed with that Tim Floyd mention.

Gar Forman's hairline game is on fleek.

 

[cycloneworld]

Jesus, Gar Forman is not an attractive man.

That's the most...ummmm..."unique" hairstyle I've seen.

 

[Cydar]

I keep on thinking this since he's working for GarPax

 

[ISUCubswin]

Gar Foreman looks like a bad guy in a childrens cartoon.

Based on all the comments on this thread so far, maybe i'm crazy...but i think he's doing an amazing job here. Totally classy towards the university, Jamie, team and fans....i don't watch any of these types of press conferences (like when Brad Stevens jumped to the C's), but i can't imagine them taking the first 5 minutes to talk about their college, players and fans.

Good luck Freddie. Will always be a fan.

So, saw a tweet that Fred will give a press conference back here on Friday.

It won't hold a candle to this:

What I want to know is who does Gar Forman have pictures of to have survived the Floyd purge.

Not ashamed to say that I cried all the way through that one.

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Murph bringing it back.

I am a huge Orlando Magic fan, and have always disliked the Bulls a bit due to them being what kept the Magic from becoming a potential dynasty in the 90's, but I honestly will probably be cheering for the Bulls this year, as long as they're not playing Orlando, Toronto, or Phoenix.

Bummed that they're blacked out on ny League Pass subscription. I can't watch the Bulls/Magic and Bulls/Raptors games even if the Bulls are the away team!

ONIONS!

I agree but I still feel like I need to take a shower. It just doesn't feel "right".

So, saw a tweet that Fred will give a press conference back here on Friday.

"thanks for your money and support. goodbye suckers"

 

[Tre4ISU]

LOL. Fred thinks that team can compete for a championship.
