Anderson could guard James in the post and give him help-side defense when he guards him at the top. The Bulls would be fine and their offense would be nearly unstoppable.

Brewer would still be better, but I see what you're saying. I think a zone might be the best way to defend Miami as it is. Howard can shut down the paint and if they beat us shooting long twos then so be it.

Eh...Lebron is a heck of a lot stronger than Anderson. If Lebron actually had a post game, this could be an issue, but as it stands, his post game right now is just bulling people over. Anderson wouldn't do that great against that. And if Lebron takes him in the high post, that's a blow by waiting to happen. Our help defense would stop that play sometimes I guess...

Different line-ups the Bulls could use:
1.
Howard
Boozer
Anderson
Hamilton
Rose
2.
Howard
Anderson
Turkoglu
Brewer
Rose/Watson
3.
Asik
Boozer
Anderson
Hamilton/Brewer
Rose/Watson
4.
Asik
Howard
Anderson/Turkoglu
Hamilton/Brewer
Rose/Watson
Plenty of versatility to play big or small. The Bullswould be idiots not to do that deal.

Yes we'd be dumb not to do that trade, Orlando isn't going to give up Anderson and they would be dumb to do that trade...sort of.

Look, I'd miss Luol Deng as much as anybody. Especially because of his defense. But Anderson is capable of guarding SF's. Sure, he would need help matched up with LeBron, but Howard would still be there as a defensive anchor. Rose would need to play a lot of help defense on James at the top, and Howard gives you all of the help defense you could ever dream of against James in the post backing down Anderson.

I'm not bashing the idea of that team as a whole, I'm just saying Anderson guarding James is far from ideal. In context, as long as we win, I don't care.

This Howard talk is the reincarnation of last seasons Melo talks......INSANITY
How about we keep Joakim,Asik,Brewer,Watson,Korver, Taj, Butler, Deng,Boozer,And Rose...
Then add JR Smith to that.
Presto:We have a winner.
Staring line up for 2012 Bulls:
Deng
Boozer
Noah
Smith
Rose
Bench:
Taj
Hamilton
Korver
Asik
Watson
Brewer
Butler
Then for 2003 season, we amnosty a contract, trade unnessasary contracts for picks, fill in holes with D/eague orleague minimum vertrans and just Sign free Agent Howard and go for _hampionship 2-peat.

It is way too much to give.
This packages would be enough:
1)Asik,Deng,Brewer
2)Noah,Deng
3)Noah,Taj,Brewer (best for us)
4)Asik,Deng,CJ Watson (Best for them)
5)Noah,Taj,CJ Watson (deal closes somewhere in the middle
)

Yup, just break up this contending team that took 13 years to build for.............
Howard Howard Howard......
Or use logic and go the SP94 risk free route by signing jr smith to short term contract which gives the Bulls and JR freedom if it doesn't work out....its garenteed not to mak us worse and he may end up being a keeper after the Bulls get fitted for there 2012 championship rings.......1 more ring than Howard,Melo and Lebron......Well, Actually 7....
Another solid point is that Smith would help insure that we don't have to rely on Hamilton too much who is old and injury prone....it kind of helps Hamilton stay healthy by not having to overdo things which could hurt the team as a whole as far as getting out the east.

....AND HOWARD AND ROSE!!!! That would be the best pg/c combo since Shaq and Penny.
You would then have Taj and Asik backing Howard with Boozer starting...your frontcourt becomes much better! You would have to use Korver and Brewer at the three until you can find a better player...but to say that team gets soooooo much worse by losing Deng and adding Howard is patently false! And it makes no sense.

The bulls don't trade for Howard unless he agrees to a contact extension before hand. They would never give up Deng and Noah for a half a season loan. Stop with this contract extension nonsense bc it would only happen if he agreed to one. Im assuming that's what everyone who wants Howard is basing their argument off of as well.

you think Deng is over rated?
He is easily the Bulls 2nd best player when he is healthy, and should be an All-Star this year! He is a walking 20 and 10 every night. And a pretty solid defensive player.

Yes.
Because if we actually have people not wanting trade for DWIGHT HOWARD because we might have to give up Deng that's the definition of being overrated.
Are you an idiot?
:rolling:
No he shouldn't be.
WHUT?!
I find this hilarious seeing as he has never averaged 20 and 10 EVER...and has never even been close.
When you ask if I think Deng is overrated...then go on to overrate Deng in your very post by labeling him an All star and a walking 20-10 despite neither of those being true....you're proving my point....not disputing it.

wat?
I like Deng, I'd like him to be an All-Star just for the sake of the Bulls having two All-Stars, but there are other players that deserve it more than Deng, especially due to Deng's injury.
