Bulls Waive CJ

[Col. Bleep]

What a lousy move.
Unless there's something I don't see about this...his NBA stint lasted about 24 hours.
Love the guy and his work ethic.
Hope he keeps at it and connects in the NBA.

Dammit. Kid can't even get into an NBA game...

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Did he enjoy the cup of coffee?

 

[Shark58]

Bulls hit

 

[Cheriehoop]

What a tease for CJ. Tough life for so many of these kids chasing the dream. Have to be tough to take the ‘nothing personal, it’s just business’ 24 hour call up after grinding years in the G League.

I now don’t like the Bulls

It took you this long?

 

[Fat tire 13]

It's tough, as he had a great career at Cuse. I'm surprised he even got a NBA offer though. He didn't look very good during the TBT tournament at all...

 

[cuse10]

Smh

 

[EastCoast2]

Man. That business is brutal.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

That's sucky. Just enough time to cancel cable and then get charged a re-connection fee.

 

[jncuse]

Well he probably made close to $30,000 for his efforts since he was on a 10 day contract.

So it's a nice little bonus at least for a minor league player.

Surpised as well and I thought the same re: TBT. Nowhere near the same type of player like he was at Syracuse. Not a lot of lift, slow, etc., in the TBT. Nothing like Donte, though. My god was he awful. They played better when he was on the bench.

Donte, he reminded everyone why he wasn't likable at Cuse...haha. Agree 10)%. CJ I really wanted to be good in TBT because I loved him at Cuse

 

[orangepassion]

At least he can say he was once signed by an NBA team

Looks like a 10-day contract at the minimum is for a hair over $46,000.

I assume he gets the full amount, so not bad for a day's work.

i give cj credit for gutting it out and pursuing his dream. i wish him the best, but truth be told, he is not an nba caliber talent.

it just would have been nice if he gotten a cameo.

 

[Whitey23]

He’s been playing well on the g league team

 

[RF2044]

Love CJ...

Would kill to see him play in the league, even if it is just "Moonlight" Graham-esque.

 

[obliterata]

Wow what a tip-in!

 

[Cheriehoop]

He’s had a very good D(g) league career but unfortunately never developed a decent 3 point shot. He’s an above average rebounder for his size as a small forward, works hard and is an excellent team player but not an elite shooter. Would be nice if he got a shot in the NBA.

The Bulls may be using a bit more G League players down the stretch than normal teams this year. Maybe he gets to play in a game.

Technically since he does not have a contract with the Bulls or one of the 3 two-way contracts the Bulls are permitted he can be picked up by any NBA team for a 10 day contract.
