First Of all if the Bulls dnt get a Low Post Scorer i see this free Agent period as A total loss even with either Wade or James in the mix. tha Bulls Need a Low Post Scorer along with a Outside shooter which was tha reason for the early playoff Exit. Lets be real Just offer Bosh a max contract that takes care of our low post scoring. then add a shooter like mike miller to go along with rose in tha back court. Mayb even see if u can talk boozer into taking less money fo a shot at tha crown. U gonna have to deal with tha lakers in tha finals if they do make it that far. So u hv a front court of Boozer,bosh, and noah Bosh and boozer are gonna demand double teams everytime they touch tha ball which leave the outside shooting of miller at full effect. Bosh has to be the first guy u sign i dnt care bout james or wade. Then Sign Tracy Mcgrady yes i said it Mcgrady he wnt cost u much and he still showed signs tha he can score. Go after another guy like roger mason if u cnt get miller to sign to sure up ur bench. there are plenty of good players out there the bulls can attract with the young core they have rite nw. even if u dnt get to bigs gibson is athletic enough to play the sf along with deng u just start gibson and bring deng off tha bench. U dnt always have to win a championship with everyone on the team superstars member this is D.Rose team that why they drafted him two years ago. Worst case u dnt get neither of tha big three james,wade or bosh, then tha other top free agents or gone then ur left with nothing and hope for next year sign Bosh plz to a max contract then add pieces and see if u cn bring in MELO as a sign and trade and offer Deng and Johnson to complete the trade and use some of tha cap to sign Melo.I can see tha bulls line up looking like this for next year

PG-Rose
SG-Mcgrady or Miller
SF-Boozer
PF-Bosh
C-Noah

Bench
Deng
Gibson
Johnson
and add couple mo shooters to tha bench cuz ur stalked with biggs if u sign both boozer and bosh and i see them competting with any team in tha league.

first of all get rid of deng…he hasnt done anything worth keeping..all i do remember, he is always hurt…. so in other words is a waste of a player and $.

efren…wishful thinking buddy although im would love that lineup…NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I could see LBJ AND bosh coming but i dont think johnson is coming…reason being is because the FA SUMMIT that happened was really about wads, lbj and bosh joining rose and noah…

imagine that!!!!!!!!!!!

Rose has stated that he’s going to spend his summer getting better at jumpers and Tibbs will make him a better pick-and-roll defender…I think Redick or Anthony Morrow or Kyle Korver would accept the mid-level exception to come. Am I the only one who thinks the Bulls will and probably SHOULD keep Deng around? We can always move him later, but I wanna see how he works as 6th man for awhile.

Oh and btw, considering how much Rose improved his mid-range jumper last off-season, and how he started shooting 3s after his injury stint last season, I’m assuming he averages something like 1 for 3 or 2 for 5 from behind the line this season. I think I have WAY too much belief in the players we already have

Maybe its just frustration, but I really agree with Cool wind. At this point, I’d be happy with signing Bosh/Boozer/maybe Lee and signing/trading for a couple role players who can consistently defend and hit three’s like JJ Reddick. The players we have right now already bring the attitude of winning first and have the talent to back it up (see: the half of last season where less than 2 starters were injured).

If starters stop having bad luck injuries, the Bulls win 10 more games next season. Add a big guy who can create with the ball in his hands, the Bulls win 5 more games. Add a 3-point shooter who can play D, the Bulls win another 5 games. Of course, just my opinion, but if anyone agrees with the numbers, then that’s 61 wins next season. Anyone have a problem with 61 wins?

I’m sick with all this lbj, d-wade and cb4 rumor. I suggest gar and pax bring someone to support our d-rose and noah. Not bringing someone for d-rose and noah to support them. To me d-rose and noah is the real deal. They are great, young, and can still grow more. Even if lbj or d-wade or cb4 come to bulls, that’s fine. If not then so be it. Don’t throw the bulls’s pride just to beg for them to come to bulls.

Look for da Bulls to complete a trade of Luol Deng once they have a commitment from Lebron James or a possible sign and trade involving Luol Deng freeing up more cap space to sign a replacement for Kirk Hinrich. Next couple of weeks are going to be crazy. Good luck to da Bulls organization from a dedicate Bulls fan.

Da Bulls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree on the sentiment regarding Sheridan. As for where people end up that’s pretty close to what I predict as well although I think Boozer and Stoudemire can swap spots, too iffy for me to say either way. Utah won’t be picking anyone up, they need to cut salary and can’t afford to go over as a small market team. I’d really like to see Lee go to the Thunder.

As for shooting guard, I think JJ Reddick would be a pretty decent fit for that spot.
