We've been getting 40 wins without Derick Rose just fine.
7 of 8 years in da playoffs with roses heart on da squad even if he was hurt and on da bench... traded for trash... from a business angle.. i can understand the risk of rose long term, considering its his contract year, but to get nothing in return is just short bus economics...
you got the wrong lopez with a big contract... it wouldve been better just to resign noah around the same price.. unless you believe someone is throwing a max deal at noah...
if tibs was still around... id give the bulls the benefit of doubt.... no tibs.... the heart traded.. no belief what so ever...its gonna be the 99 bulls all over again... butler will equal kukocs production... hopefully butler doesnt get hurt though..
better go get rondo at the very least... run, spread da floor, let him and jimmy attack the basket trying to maximize mcdermotts and mirotics ability to hit da 3... you still need a bully down low if your gonna play this way.... which lopez isnt... it would probably be better for the bulls to ship lopez, gibson and calderon to teams with cap space now... then spend on rondo and d howard... while howards offensive game is limited, he can still be that elite defensive/rebounding dunking machine...
anyway, at least gibson and calderon come off the books after this coming season... thats roughly 15-16 mil for 2017 if they dont want to deal them now...
GL bulls.... its all about dem knicks though.. finally playoff bound....
