Hell ya! Lets go JO!!

Dont get me wrong I would trade for Howard in a heartbeat but damn I would miss Noahs heart, something I worry Dwight lacks

I wouldnt doubt Howards heart but i do think hes more likely to be discouraged than Noah.

But what Howard brings to the table is something Noah will never be able to replicate. I love Noah and i will cheer him on wherever he goes if he ever leaves. But you have a chance to get the two time DPOY, blocker and rebounding champion whos improved his offensive game. Thibs and Howard would make beautiful music together.

Lately Howard has got me doubting his heart, he throws his teammates under the bus, and chooses his team by the climate.. I dunno about him anymore he used to be one of my favorites

I would do it in a heartbeat dont get me wrong... Jo is just easier to root for

Maybe i forgot it but i dont remember him throwing teammates under the bus. Look, Howard has never been known as much of an adult. He has a lot of growing up to do but im fucking tired of hearing about the Heat and tired of not seeing the Bulls or Bears win championships. Give me Rose and any selfish scumbag who can bring glory back to Chicago.

But i do love how its so easy to cheer for these Bulls. Theres not an unlikable guy on the roster(maybe you can make a case for Boozer).

Last season he criticized his teammates to the media...

You are right I dont care if he punches babies I would still take him.. I would just miss Jo's intensity and heart

Ya Boozer is kind of a ******

Agreed. Howard is very emotional. And he lets those emotions get out of hand at times. With Rose as the Yin to his Yang & Thibs calling the plays, I think Howard will quiet down. I would be pissed if I was playing in Van Gundy's system the past 4 years. Throw it into Dwight then kick it to the 3 pt line. Amazing. He's carried the load offensively & defensively for years. MJ called out teammates all the time. Kobe & Shaq too. Stars will do that. And I'd do everything short of sacrificing my first born to bring the Larry O'Brien Trophy back at the UC.

Also: sources say Eric Gordon has not and will not be offered to NO for CP3. Minds change, as we know, but that's LAC's position right now.

2. Jason Richardson

Team: Chicago
Price: Four years, full mid-level ($22m)
Verdict: Underpaid

Notes: If you're taking less to win a title, you're doing it after you made a ton of money (Richardson's career earnings: $81 million), if you came close at least once (like Richardson did with Phoenix in 2010), and if you're a competitive dude (which he is). And by the way, that's a monster signing for the Bulls. Now we'll see if they can really pull off this supposed blockbuster for Dwight Howard that they keep leaking to everyone (probably as a tactical ploy with no basis in truth, but whatever). If you're Orlando, would you trade Howard and Hedo Turkoglu's carcass for Joakim Noah, Omer Asik, Luol Deng, a cap filler and $3 million to cover up the cap filler? You'd have to at least THINK about it, right?

ESPNChiBulls Boozer speaks -- says he thinks Bulls can win title as currently constructed. He also looks like he's lost some weight


Thats a good sign!


It really is crazy to think how much this team did with him sucking, Noah hurt...

It makes me excited to think that Omer and Taj to a lesser extent will come back this season even better

Someone needs to tell Booze he's needs to remember we got a gap at SG. lol

Other than that, love the guy's confidence & support of the roster.

To me if Boozer can be the consistent second scorer that he can be, it wouldn't matter who starts at the SG position. It sounds like everybody is looking for a SG to be the second leading scorer. With Rose, Boozer, and Deng, the SG would be the 4th or 5th option. I really think Boozer needs to be the second option for the inside out game and pick and roll/pop.

Boozer when healthy and focused is proven to be a second scorer. He missed so many money opportunities last year in the playoffs. He was anything but effective. But even with him healthy we still need a guy who can create his own shot from the perimeter

Okay, half of the guys people are talking about aren't that much of shot creators outside of Caron and Crawford.

Bulls are still watching and waiting in free-agency. They want to get Jason Richardson in to visit, but he's likely waiting to see.....if any team will offer more than $5 million before listening to Bulls' pitch. Meanwhile, though, other options may get snapped up.

That said, the league’s best center by far still very much wants to be in Orlando, and he is willing to give them every opportunity to keep him. What that means to Dwight is that he wants the Magic to be contenders, and to that end Orlando has a short list of players they would like to add in an effort to return to contention. Atlanta’s Josh Smith, Philadelphia’s Andre Iguodala and Golden State’s Monta Ellis are on that list.

I am in the group that thinks that Dwight to the Bulls wont happen but Luol and Noah dont sound so bad next to this group

Caron Butler to the Bulls would be huge. But wouldn't bet on him staying healthy.
