No offense quist but, you actually think D. Wade is coming back to Chicago this year? hahaha trust me he is not! He is going to visit Chicago next year for sure on the road with Miami along with Bosh or Boozer.

I think the best thing to do is to get solid players like garcia and andres mention already about getting Al Harrington, Kevin Martin, Beno Udril, David Lee, Rudy Gay and others. People lets face the facts that the bulls have a 10% chance of landing a top star player like: Chris Bosh, D. Wade, Joe Johnson, Amare Stoudemire or LeBron James.

The chances are these players will stay wHere their at and collect their big money contracts or they will sign with another team beside Chicago.

if they trade for caron butler he would take minutes away from john salmons who has a player option this offseason, if salmons accepts the 6 mil a year player option the bulls may not have enough money to sign a max salary this offseason. but if salmons isnt playing why would he want to stay here. thus the 2011 bulls lineup:rose, wade(max salary, its gunna happen),dend/caron, tyrus thomas, noah. i think ithat looks like a pretty good squad

It makes no sense to trade Kirk Hinrich. If anyone needs to be traded, its John Salmons. He has not had a big game for Bulls the entire season. We need Hinirch for his defense, does anyone remember the job he did on Paul Pierce last year in the playoffs? The team should have stayed as Deng, Gordon, Rose, and Hinrich off the bench, but instead we have John Salmons who is not clutch at all. Get rid of Salmons and by no means is a scoring threat. I’ve been rooting for Chicago for some time now and it just hurts so much that they never make the right moves. If Chicago is willing to trade Hinrich then please get a big man that can score.

Yah, so your tell me Mike_in_Shanghai that you would rather keep Tyrus Thomas then to get a good scorer like Al Harrington? Are you crazy? the only reason why sometimes Al Harrington takes some bad shot is because of the Mike D’Antoni quick shooting system. I am pretty sure if he was playing with D. Rose he will start taking more smarter shoots and actually make them unlike Tyrus Thomas that thinks he is more a small forward then a Power Forward. Beside at least with Al Harrington he will space the floor, he can also play the 3, 4 and 5th spot like Tyrus Thomas, he can hit big shoots in late game and defense well 1 on 1.

and Beno Udril is a great backup point guard to D. Rose. Look If the Bulls don’t make any chances right away they are not going to make the playoffs again. And trust me, no free agent top super star will come to Chicago if they don’t have decent recorded, will good solid players or have a shot at winning a title.

That is so true Boppinbob, I totally agree with your comment about Kirk Hinrich being the heart and soul of this team but, if you are getting a really good player in return that is younger and better then Hinrich you take that chance right away. Come on adding Kevin Martin and Beno Udril is a great move for the bulls, remember D. Rose is now the starting point guard and the center piece to the bulls new puzzle. He still needs a lot of help on the offensive end to provide him with more talented scorer that can draw double teams and to take some pressure off his back. Plus Hinrich is more of a starter not a backup point guard.

It is my opinion that if the Bulls trade Captain Kirk then they have given up on the play-offs for 2010. He may not be the floor leader of the team but he is the heart of this team, he leads by example. No one on the team can replace his influence in that area.

I wouldn’t accuse Al Herrington of taking smarter shots than Thomas, he just has better range.

or to seal the deal we end up giving our 1st round draft pick and keep our 2nd round pick

and we will still have enough money for a max super star player like chris bosh to come to Chicago this summer because of Brad Miller $12,250,000 dollar contract is coming off the books, also Al Harrington $10,026,875 dollars are coming off the books, as well as for Pargo and Hunter money and some money we save up for not signing Ben Gordan.
