Think 21 and 11 might have been useful?

Pau haters will never admit that he was, and is not washed up. They will never admit that we could definitely use a true skilled big like Pau, especially looking at how crappy our offense is. And they will stick to the lie that he left on his own instead of the fact that he was treated like crap and left because he was fed up. Pau and Davis would have been a damn good duo.

Mitch will need to get his magic wand out.

Pau is a baller. A lot of us recognized that, there are fans who throw their opinions around and vent about him a lot.

I wish Pau nothing but success. Be the Cavs roadblock.

Losing Pau isn't the issue. It's that we put in a moronic bid on Boozer after he was amnestied. His old ass has no place on this team.

Should anger more fans to watch Pau actually take it to the basket in Chicago and draw fouls instead of settling for jumpers even when the lane was open 9 out of 10 times and actually going to the post and attacking instead of saying to reporters "I don't know when I should roll or attack." when he's one of the smartest minds in basketball, or "I just figured out it's better for me to roll" despite being one of the better pick and roll big men in the league for the past 7 years.

Just more an example of how much he was phoning it in here his last few years. Good game for him though, but I doubt he'd ever have given that kind of effort if he was still here this year. Just didn't have the drive to do it anymore here.

And I'm not giving him a high five for that either cause of 'how he was treated' because if he wasn't phoning it in Kobe wouldn't have had to push himself to the breaking point just to get this team to the playoffs in 2012. So I wonder what his 'brother' who gave it everything he had that year and constantly went to bat for him feels when he watches Pau consistently post up, take it to the basket, and try to draw fouls and asks himself 'where the heck was that the past 4 years?' Cause it wasn't here.

I hope he's happy where he is and that the Bulls benefit from a Pau that actually cares and gives enough of a heck to be aggressive which we hadn't had since 2010 from him except in spurts every 5 games or so.
