Amare? Bosh? DWade? Princess James (not likely)?

Carmelo Anthony is a free agent in 2011....im just sayin lol

The Queen

 

[ButchCrassidy]

Am I the only Bulls fan that doesn't want to see DWade in a Bulls uni next year?

 

[CBPtOSU]

No. I don't either. Because he is too similar to Rose

 

[MRN]

No. I don't either. Because he is too similar to Rose

This statement made me lol.

 

[ButchCrassidy]

Exactly. He needs the ball in his hands too much, and that would stunt Rose's development, imo. I also think the Bulls need a more balanced, in-out scoring attack.

This statement made me lol.

yall really think that rose and wade would have problems with who controls the ball?

seriously

wade and rose=NASTY

they can pretty much switch positions and such

when rose is out wade can play point

 

[ButchCrassidy]

The whole point of a Wade/Rose combo would be for them to be in the game at the same time.
Wade isn't the type of SG that runs off screens or is used to doing a lot of moving without the ball, seeing as how he's never played with a PG of Rose's caliber. He needs the ball in his hands to make things happen.

That's what I'm saying.

Can you really go wrong with Wade? Did anyone watch him go for around 46 against the Celtics today? Did anyone see him take his team on his shoulders and bring them back against the Mavs in the finals? Who cares how similar their games are? Both of their games work. Both guys demand attention and play well off the ball.

With that being said, LeBron is the best basketball player on the planet and is headed towards greatness. As i type this, hes one rebound away from a triple double. His size and speed combo is unlike anything ever seen. His scoring ability, court vision, shot blocking is ridic. Is there a more complete player in this league? If he didnt act like such a clown, id say theres nothing missing. Triple double now... We dont have a deep team, not even close. But pair LeBron with Rose, Noah and a couple more players for the bench and we'll have another dynasty.

Summer of 2010 for the Bulls:

Joe Johnson

He would fit perfectly with Derrick Rose, and then David Lee would fit nicely as well if the Knicks don't resign him. Rose, Joe Johnson, David Lee, Luol Deng would be pretty nice.

 

[ButchCrassidy]

Oy vey. Nobody said the Bulls would fall off with Wade...
You're talking about Wade going off for 46 on an aging Celtics team. That Heat team he played for in the 2006 Finals had at least a semi-effective Shaq and a deeper team than the current Bulls squad. And that Mavs team basically imploded after game 2, ESPECIALLY Dirk. I also worry about Wade and all of these nagging injuries he's had throughout his career.
LeBron is a different story, because he commands more double teams (even though his 270lb ass has no post game to speak of). He's strong enough to drive the lane and finish shots, without getting knocked to the floor every single time. Not sure how much his passing ability would come into play, seeing as how the Bulls don't have anyone that consistently knock down jumpers, unless Vinny (or whoever the next coach is) wises up and implements a run-n-gun style.
With THAT being said, a frontcourt player would be the Bulls best option. It's no secret that the Bulls are a team that shoots way too many jump shots, and need some interior scoring, considering Noah (yes, Noah) is their best scoring threat inside.
And as far as Rose and Wade playing well off the ball...sure.

 

[CBPtOSU]

LeBron-Rose-Noah = Dynasty

 

[chs234]

LeBron-Rose-Noah = Dynasty

Maybe.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

um yes chs lebron would make the bulls the best team easy especially because rose and noah are both very young and can only get better

 

[Anytime23]

I didnt say anybody said they would fall off with Wade. How could you fall off with the NBAs 2nd best player? Yes, Wade had a very deep team with a bunch of aging veterans but again, Wade put that team on his shoulders and brought them to the promise land. Some guys had their stretches like Walker and Williams but theres no questioning that Wade did a majority of the work. He's a finals MVP, something that cant be said for the rest of the FAs available. Yes, im talking about Wade going off for 46 against and old, yet good defensive team in Boston with basically little help. The guy is a warrior and hes still fighting for his life, knowing his teams fate.

With Lebron, i already mentioned how you had to build your bench because you cannot plug any one player on this team and expect to win it all. You get yourself a couple shooters and a big and youre set.

 

[ButchCrassidy]

Unless Deng and Hinrich start producing as if they're getting paid $12mil/yr and $9mil/yr, respectively, the Bulls are kinda hamstrung when it comes to going out and getting shooters, unless they go after Joe Johnson.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

deng has been beaten up and hinrich well.....

 

[Anytime23]

I dont see Hinrich being on this team next season. Dengs contract looks impossible to move. This series would have been a great opportunity for him to showcase his talent but hes had two good games and two horrid ones.

 

[ButchCrassidy]

I can see the Lakers making a play for Hinrich, w/Fisher being so old and them not being afraid of a luxury tax. Deng is the more attractive player, but he simply doesn't produce enough, even when healthy, for a team to take on that contract.
