If Rodman can join the Bulls, why can't Durant join the Warriors?

[eliteballer]

The Pistons and Bulls were practically blood rivals, but the Bulls traded for him because he filled a NEED...

Not to mention the Bulls had three 20 point scorers on the perimeter(averaged 20/6/5 in 94 with the Clips)

[Ben Simmons]

People are agenda filled hypocrites.

In any case trade is not the same as free agency.

[Hey Yo]

MJ was ruined by Rodman and the Pistons many times. Yet he signed off on the trade and welcome the rebounding champ with open arms.

MJ new needed more help after choking the year before. 96 Finals proved that.

Not the same situation as Durant

:facepalm

If you really need this to be explained to you bruh...

Rodman was traded to the Bulls from the Spurs, where his stock was at all time low.

Durant, arguably the leagues best player, left his great team in free agency to join the best team.

Spot the difference.

Got 'em.

[Fudge]

elite idiot. :lol

[bluechox2]

rodman to the bulls would have been like oladipo to the thunder...

but now durant leaving the thunder to the warriors is like jordan joining the lakers in 89

[warriorfan]

Rodman joining the Bulls was fine

If you thought what Rodman did joining the Bulls was bad, LeBron was worse

Imagine if Jordan did what LeBron did...


Pippen was 4th in Per when MJ left

LeBron left his home team to join the 2nd and 4th leaders in PER (D.Wade and Chris Bosh)

What LeBron did was like if MJ left his hometown team to join Scottie Pippen AND Shaquile Oneal! (The 4th and 2nd leaders in PER of the 1994 season)

[Megabox!]

OP is legit retarded

[poido123]

At the time, rodman was considered a huge risk for many teams with his offcourt antics and persona.


His talent wasn't the question, he was considered a headcase and this is nothing like the Durant decision.

[DuncanFan2288]

Totally different situations... how did you even come up with this?

[RRR3]

elitedumbass

[scandisk_]

Some douche hacked this guys account?

:oldlol:

[Sportal]

Did Rodman leave a competitor to join the 72 win Bulls?

Did Rodman choke 3 games in a row, when he was one of the top players in the league, and then join the team that beat him?

[Dragonyeuw]

The two situations couldn't be further apart.

[feyki]

Five years later ?

[theaussieguy]

they are identical, its even worse in Jordans case, he gets a TOP 20 PLAYER, of all frikkin time to team up with in an already weak expansive era.

Both weak weak moves and hes ruining my bois legacy while hes at it.

You can't be serious, my Strayan friend.

If you're referring to Rodman as a top 20 player, you're a moron. He's a fringe top 50 at best based on his rebounding and defensive prowess, and a non-factor on offense. He joined the Bulls at 35 well past his prime and with his career beginning to spiral out of control. He was traded for Will ****ing Perdue, that should tell you what his value was at that point.

Durant is a top 2-3 player, coming into his peak and joining a team that won a title without him and just beat him in the playoffs. It's not even remotely close to the same situation. Durant's move changes the entire landscape of the NBA for the next 5 years. Rodman joining the Bulls was an experiment that people were expecting to backfire. In fact Phil consulted with MJ and Pip as to whether they even wanted to take the risk. If you watched during that era, you'll know what the deal was. If you didn't, which it sounds like in your case, we get the kind of BS in the above quote.

Edit: I see you're 27, so you were 7 years old wetting your bed when Rodman joined the Bulls. You literally have no clue what you're talking about.

This.

[Dragonyeuw]

This.

To add to that, Durant's move has teams now scrambling to build rosters to take on the offensive onslaught that the Warriors will unleash next season. Nobody gave a rats ass about Rodman joining the Bulls at that point in his career, figuring it was more trouble than he was worth. It certainly did not make the Bulls the favorite going into the season; Orlando was still looked at as the team on the future. Meanwhile Durant's move makes an already all-time great potent team more lethal and the favorite going into 2020. It's hilarious that anyone would think these two transactions are remotely similar.

we get it man.

:cry: u hate mj :cry:

[ArbitraryWater]

Hey OP:

The Bulls won 72 games AFTER Rodman joined...
The Warriors won 72 games BEFORE Durant joined...

[Sarcastic]

I'm not following. Durant did join the Warriors. Who said he can't/didn't?

[Cap'n Obvious]

Durant won an MVP. Rodman never did.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Spot the difference.

Dennis Rodman and David Robinbon were one of the most underrated front court duos in the league. people completely forgot that Rodman used to be a Spur.
