Bulls expected to sign Tristan Thompson

[RamiTheBullsFan]

With White progressing his best asset…scoring…falling into that Stackhouse role I pegged for him on draft day…we certainly have no shortage of ammo.

The more this goes on I think it’s Caruso you want to prove is recovered and sell high back to Lakers or move to Knicks or Heat before he gets hurt again and plummets his value.

I'm sold. Caruso for Westbrook.

Future HOFer here we come!

Finally heard the Rick Carlisle talk about TT.

Fucking hilarious. He rules.

 

[Enasic]

In 30 games for Sacramento, he posted his 2nd highest TRB% of his career. He’s going to be a big boost on the second unit. Imagine a healthy roster going into the playoffs

Ball/Ayo/Caruso
LaVine/Coby/Caruso
DeMar/DJJ/Caruso
Green/Williams/DJJ
Vuc/Thompson

They’re going to be super versatile and interchangeable. BD is going to have a hell o a difficult time finding enough minutes for the guards though. Good problem to have

They’re going to be super versatile

Yeah but will they be Boris Diaw worthy?

Caruso would still be ahead of coby and djj in the rotation in my opinion

No one can be more versatile than the great Boris Diaw

One does not simply become more versatile than Boris Diaw

[JoJoBoxer]

The news was broken by Rick Carlisle himself during post game after Thompson had 17pts. Was an interesting announcement.

Carlisle needs to be charged with tampering.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Can someone tell me how to feel about this.

Answer this question: Is he better than the last man on the bench who does not play?

That should tell you how to feel.

They need to be pushing the ball on offense and playing aggressive defense during the playoffs to see if the opposing team can keep up a long series athletically. If a team is using mostly starters during the playoffs, their tank will be empty going into the 3rd game and later games.

Having multiple guards will keep them fresh and will allow for less foul trouble for any player.

It depends ...

If LBJ stands for LeBron James, I will take the Bulls.

If LBJ stands for Lindon B. Johnson, I have to take Lindon B. Johnson.

He’ll for sure play more minutes than DJJ. BD can use Caruso at the 1-3 so there’s more versatility there and more opportunities for minutes.

If Coby keeps playing like he has been, it’s going to be tough to limit him. I suspect white and Caruso will play similar minutes but will also depend on how the game is going and how they’re playing.

This is how I'd divide the 240 minutes:

DeRozan (34) SF/PF
LaVine (34) SG/SF
Vucevic (30) C
Ball (28) PG (guards 3 positions)
Caruso (22) SG/PG (guards 3 positions)
Domunsu (19) PG
White (17) SG/PG
Green (15) SF/PF
Williams (15) PF
Jones (14) PF/C
Thompson (12) C
Thomas (DNP)
Brown (DNP)
Bradley (DNP)

I like DJJ, but at the same time I want his finger to heal, so if Thompson can fill his role more, gives more time for DJJ to rest.

 

[MassHavoc]

As long as he doesn't bring Kardashian drama into the room if he's better than Bradley (who I admit looks more confident lately) then this is a win I guess.

 

[Axl Rose]

He's a lob threat also which means Ayo and him should eat.

 

[Rush]

I love the pick-up, they aren't filming any NBA Wives reality shows alongside of him so it should be fine.

What's this about Kardashian nonsense? I like Kim, is that the Kardashian in question? Bring her to Chicago she's okay.
