John – I was thinking the same thing! I was wondering since the trade cannot be finalized until then, there is a possibility that Kirk can remain a Bull. I don’t know if it would make the Bulls Management look bad if they rescinded the trade, but I am sure they are willing to take that risk if other options aren’t that good.

Personally, I am so tired of all this Free Agent talk. I can’t wait for it to be done. One thing I will say though…I am proud of the Bulls Organization for not planning a lavish party and going to extremes to woo Lebron James. In the end, he’s just a man. If he comes, great. If not, we will live. The Bulls will do fine without him.

Ok, I just thought of something. Say we strike out in FA or can only sign one player after all and not two. Would the bulls then back out of the wizards trade and keep hinrich since that deal cannot be finalized till june 8 and by that time we will already have a pretty good idea on who is goin where. Would this lose too much credibility for the bulls management? Would management wanna do this and have to pay the last two years to hinrich? I would personally love this cause it is what ive wanted all along. Add one superstar and a shooter and a big. But I know im one of few who thinks this way.

Not one more comment about the bulls getting beasley what is going on have you not seen miami just wants to dump him fast as they can he is a head case and not a solid player. Yes I will miss kirk he took one for the team he will be a bull in my eyes for life.Last but not least 1) LBJ is coming to chicago get yr tickets ready yr money to buy his jersey and all the rest(2) I am not sure if Chris bosh is coming but one thing is for sure with LBJ and lets say maybe a David lee we still have money to get one more player a pure shooter maybe JJ redick for cheap or a barns for cheap also might want to see what the asking price is for ray allen not gonna say bosh aint coming just trying to fill the team with other players along with the money we have to spend cannot spend it all on two players need more players than that least three maybe four more solid players we only got five under contract maybe six either way we need to be at least 7 to 8 deep on the bench to be a true challenger for the title. Peace and no more talk of beasley dammmit got it. GO BULLS

Bill Thomas I swear I swear I am not trying to be a dick……but your last post was inaccurate. The Salary cap will not be set until July 7th. As it looks now the Bulls may be able to give both Lebron and Bosh max contracts. Honestly I don’t really like Bosh all that much but if he signs it does make the team better than it was. I don’t think Deng will be traded so he will make a solid 6th man if Lebron signs

Not to mention the fact that the Heat would never in a million years take Deng. They are the real threat in FA but if they took Deng they would be screwed. Trading Deng for Beasley isn’t even worth talking about.

I see your point Dan but, we can always trade Deng for Lebron James or for Chris Bosh, as a favor for Cleveland or Toronto. So one of them does not come home empty handed.

Remember just because the Bulls got rid of Hinrich and their 17th draft pick we are still a lil bit short to go after 2 Max players like: Lebron Jamas and Chris Bosh without doing a sign and trade move.

The only way I can see both of these guys coming here. Without us making any more moves. If one of them takes less money. (which it probably won’t happen!)

After making these moves, then with the short money that the Bulls might have left from Hinrich, we can sign a tall SG that can hit 3 point shots at a high percentage like: Anthony Morrow, Mike Miller or Kyle Korver.

2010-2011 Roster hopefully:
Starters:
PG: D. Rose
SG: Anthony Morrow, Mike Miller or Kyle Korver
SF: L. James
PF: C. Bosh
C: J. Noah
Bench:
Omer Asik
Taj Gibson
James Johnson
and other solid back players for a 1 year contract

I would rather get players who want to win and win as a unit, be humble about things and don’t complain and act as if they are the ‘king of the world.’ I am still not sold on Lebron, not that I am sold on Bosh, but we’ll see what kind of attitude Lebron and/or Bosh or Johnson or Boozer or Amare or whoever brings to the Bulls next season. Unfortunately sports have become such that unless you are making a ridiculous amount of money and are getting enough air time while dancing on the floor and acting like a clown/fool, you are not good enough. I know a lot of you will disagree, but what happened to playing hard, building a team the right way and enabling some self esteem and just enjoying things in general? It seems to me that every sports team is just trying to buy their way to a championship. Ok, so it works for the Lakers and Yankees, but why have the other teams if they don’t have the resources and are unable to compete? Bunch of bandwagon Lakers and Yankees fans whine so much if they don’t get a superstar every single trade deadline gets really old. I hope the Bulls don’t become this way. It was a lot more fun in the old days, when most players actually cared and played the right way, and did not look at the ref for bailing them out.

here’s my deal…i love the Bulls but deng sucks. He’s ALWAYS hurt and is inconsistent from game to game. you cant count on him. Taj, on the other hand, he’s good i would keep him. Beasley could play a 4 and a 3, he’s more versatile. You all might be smoking crack if you think Deng is the man, the one dimensional player. Maybe a trade involving Deng for a 2 guard makes more sense but clearing some more space by getting rid of deng for a player that gets paid less would allow the Bulls tokeep Noah and Rose when their raises are due.

Are we totally die-hard true Bulls fans getting closer getting to stealing that King in Cleveland or are we just closer to getting teased by him.I was thinking just a week ago that LBJ won’t even sign with Chicago,he will stay in Cleveland,but it seems we are getting totally close to signing LeBron as of late according to various reports,but it still remains to be seen until he signs a contract with Chicago. GO BULLS.
