The 2012 Chicago Bulls Off-Season Thread

[clonetrooper264]

I wasnt mad about that play Watson made im just saying he might be considered expendable along with Brewer. The difficulty with Lucas is that his size makes him a defensive liability, Scalabrine is retiring and might return as a coach on Thibodeau's staff. We got room one way or the other thats all. Hinrich by far is a better defender and Floor General than Watson is but definitely keep CJ unless we find a team that needs a guy like him.

Well you said Watson is "done" so idk what I was supposed to make of that lol. The Lucas issue has always been there and was known before we signed him. It's just going to be a thing whoever has him deals with. I didn't think he was that terrible, or at least Thibs did an ok job of hiding him. No one really cares about Scal anyway since he never plays. Kirk's a better defender and a better PG than CJ, CJ is a better scorer and isn't that bad defensively or as a PG either. If Hinrich came back for a very small amount, I'd take him over CJ, but I'd be fine keeping CJ.

lmao its all good. $ will be an issue with Kirk considering he made $8 Million with Atlanta but then again that was apart of the deal that he signed with us that one year and it carried on. Im sure Kirk wouldn't mind a paycut to re-join the Bulls but we gotta think of something if Forman plans on bringing him back

 

[Bear06]

Only bring Kirk back if he agrees to get payed less than $5M a year.

 

[Bear06]

Mark Schanowski was on Chicago Tribune Live today and he said he doesn't believe Watson, Brewer and Korver will be back with the team next year. He also said he doubts Hinrich will go to the Bulls because he can earn double the $ of what the Bulls will probably offer him in another team.

The Lakers will trade Lawry and a SG with Gasol and they will become a championship caliber team.(Something they are not now)
The Bulls will be the favorite for the title.

Do it!

 

[Axl Rose]

that would work

That would work, but it would leave the Bulls pretty thin down low and without a true scoring threat in the paint.

 

[thechosenone]

We will have Taj and Noah to grab all Kobe's and DRose's bricks. Who needs something more? 2 great players with the freedom to shoot as much as they want and 2 great offensive rebounders.

 

[thechosenone]

Do this and we will have a 82-0 season.

I think that we are going to need another star player but it seems unlikely, so all I know is that it's going to be a difficult offseason :shrug:

Such is life as a Chicago sports fan.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Seeing as next season looks like a lost-cause (Rose won't be 100% and Deng will miss months or be well under 100%), it's time to attempt to trade Deng, Boozer, and Asik for essentially draft picks and expiring contracts.

Rebuilding year... I hate to say it but that is their best bet. Unless the Magic still want to accept a Deng+Boozer+Asik trade.

 

[thechosenone]

Rebuilding my ass. The plan for this team is to win championships after 2015-2016. They just took the risk of Boozer to make a try to win it now. But as soon as this didn't work they just need to stick to their plan. The only reason to start rebuilding will be Rose. If the guy won't return at nothing near 100% or reinjure his knee they will have to amnesty him and start rebuilding.
