Very disappointed that CJ never got to play in an NBA game.

Late in his G-League career, after several years of killing it with the Mad Ants, he got called up to the Chicago Bulls.  The Bulls were literally DECIMATED with injuries so badly, that they were in danger of not being able to field the minimum number of players that need to be available for games that the NBA rules specify.

So CJ and some other G-Leaguer got called up on a Thursday.  As coincidence would have it, the Bulls weren't playing again until Sunday.  I got excited because it seemed like it was finally going to happen for CJ.

Not that he was going to stick long term, or necessarily carve out an NBA career based on that opportunity -- just that the stars seemed aligned that he'd be able to get into at least one game [if not a couple] given the state of the Bull's depleted roster, and forever thereafter be a guy who made it to / played in the NBA.

Instead, the Bulls opted to pick up some other player that rolled off a 10-day contract that another team let go, and they dismissed CJ on Saturday.  1 day before he would have played.  And just like that, the highly favorable widow of opportunity slammed shut.

EFFFF'ing Bulls.
