My thoughts:


1. We could use another big for depth....why would we need another one in the "starting trio of Deng, Boozer, and Noah", should've been B or B+
2. Agree with backcourt, I'd probably say B+
3. hahaha I guess they based the defense rating on that game in Miami which we lost by 35, defense is A-
4. Bench, B-/B I don't know how this bench will preform but everyone complained when Bench Mob 1 was dismantled and Bench Mob 2 did fine, but I'll miss Nate I don't think we'll be atrocious without him though
5. Taking this Ron Adams thing a little hard, aren't we, Thibs is still there and he won COY, unless Adams actually won and decided to bestow it to Thibs, a better criticism would be his minutes management. B+/A-

Overall: B+, we look good, but that's on paper and assuming we stay healthy and Rose returns to form

How in the Hell can PaxGar only get a C on there report card this offseason?
Thats Bullshit.
PaxGar should get an A++++++++ for bringing back chicacgo bulls legend and folk hero, the incredible Mike James.
Because we really needed another pointguard, bad.
We didnt need to resign Nate Robinson because Mike James was in the plan all along. :troll:

That offseason wrap-up was a bit bullish (no pun intended) and I think it was just an opportunity for somebody to spat negatively about the Bulls. Their payroll constraints obviously hindered the little that occurred during the offseason. Team improvement relies heavily on personnel that's already on the roster. Jimmy Butler's ascension to the starting lineup, Rose's return and a hopeful return to form by Taj Gibson should all certainly push the Bulls back over 50 wins during the regular season.

I like that they placed a premium on perimeter shooting with their two draft picks and the addition of Dunleavy. I don't foresee anyone on the current roster being able to transform into a true second scoring option, but the Bulls have gotten along in the past with Deng, Boozer and Noah all chipping in. My real hope is that Thibs breaks his curse of not giving rookies any meaningful PT and give Snell and Murphy some minutes. Ditto for Teague.

Why does a Heat fan care?


Maybe hes worried about it being the end for the Heat next year when Lebron leaves Miamis sorry ass and signs with the Bulls.
Lebron want to come play for a general manager like PaxGar that makes big things happen.
:smug:

By mid season Stevie boy is going to look like a horse's ass.

How does anyone who has watched basketball think the Bulls defense is going to be a C+? It's in the top 3 in the league for three years at least. He thinks the loss of Nate Robinson is so big, is he saying that Nate is such a better defender than Rose, because that's who is going to be taking over more minutes than Nate played. Lack of size? What size did they lose? Rip hardly played, Bellinelli wasn't such a great defender and Butler is bigger and stronger than either of them.

So Ron Adams was the force behind the curtain that made Thibs coach of the year and a contender every other year? And he's going to fold without him.

Proof this guy is a putz, the Wizards and Pistons are B-, find three sane people who watch basketball to bet money that they'll be ahead of the Bulls because I'll take a stack of that action.
