except that if dwight goes to the nets..that team will contend in the ECF, so you're just switching really

and i would take that bet, if the hypothetical actually existed

i know deng has wrist issues,but is he expected to miss time?


What team would have Howard in their roster and wouldn't be a lock for the conference finals?? Only the magic!!

Heat
Indiana
Howard's team
Bulls

Wizzards

Well you lose your 2 best players and that's bound to happen to any team...

Those two probably provide 70% of our offense (granted most of that is Rose...but still). Without them, we're gonna suck and suck bad unless Teague proves to be a stud or something. Pretty much no offense outside of Boozer and Rip sort of.

Nah. With Noah out too maybe. But if the Bulls rebounding won't affected there is no chance these teams to be ahead of the Bulls. Without Rose and Deng the Bulls will be 4th. Without Rose they will be 2nd. Easiest wins these year for the Bulls without Rose: @Orlando, @Atlanta.

Without Rose and Hamilton:
Chicago Bulls vs. Atlanta Hawks - Recap - March 28, 2012 - ESPN
And they will trade Joe Johnson and Josh Smith this year!

Philly will lose most of their players this year. I don't see them too. I don't know about the Knicks. I hope they will be better next year. But they are so much show and no basketball and I don't see them too.

I have a feeling that the Pistons will make the playoffs next year. But the point is that it's not something difficult to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls without Rose and Deng in the Western conference would miss the playoffs.

HERP A DERP

that's my point

you basically have a hodgepodge or random shooters and slashers, no real PG except for a rookie, and a declining boozer as your offensive option

the offense would be historically horrific

deng is a great rebounder at the SF position

you definitely lose a little rebounding

you also lose a crap ton of offense

so,basically the plan is to **** it,chuck it, and then clean up

the bulls offense is already meh, imagine it without the first two options

well, i mean, i was slightly exaggerating

but the point is the offense would suck lol

Yes I know lol. The offense would be absolutely terrible. I don't know if I could sit through those kinds of games...it would probably literally cause me physical pain.

The Bulls offense with all the team healthy was just fine. But yes without Rose and Deng it will be shitty. But still. Better than most of the Eastern conference teams. lol

Of course. Heat,Knicks and Indiana will have better offense. Every other team sucks so hard offensively that it is not even funny.

the offense would be among the worst in the eastern conference

the defense and rebounding would be the bull's saving grace
