If Boozer plays a full season and Deng's offense stays consistent, then we'll have the scoring threats necessary to take some pressure off Rose. With J-Rich off the market, I still think getting Rip Hamilton and another big man to fill the void left by Kurt Thomas will be more than enough to set our roster in stone. The whole Dwight Howard thing is just a pipe dream.

Let's just make those two small signings and see if there are some possibilities to make a bigger upgrade when the trade deadline looms closer.

The Bulls biggest issue was the retirement of Mike.

They should get Marbury. I would love to see him back in the Association.

Yeah, I love Marbury to.
I'm wearing my StarBury shoes right now that I purchased for $1.99 at Payless Shoe Source....:troll:

But seriously, Stephin would be a great backup for Rose and leader on the bench...he can still ball and put up points...

That he can. I know it's only against chinamen but he still has speed and can make shots. It's too bad he says he will never come back to the NBA.

And he gets real playing time.

That is a very good point. No need really. Except to add to his untouchable legacy as Coney Islands Finest haha. But yeah he is doing good over there. His team is 10-0 right now.

I heard that the Lakers are still interested in a trade for CP3 centered around Gasol with 3rd team sending youth...

Taj and Omer for Gasol?? I know Taj and Omer are younger etc but if we cant resign them then it might be worth it ... I dunno though

Jamal Crawford turned down 2 yr 10 million deal from Pacers.

Since you know the Bulls aren't offering more than 5 million a year for anyone you can stratch Crawford off the list.

Maybe Crawford is hoping that Sacramento or Minnesota throws $$$ at him since they have to spend almost all their cap space. I'm kind of surprised how little of a market there is out there for him. Alot of teams are waiting to see what AC players are hitting the market.

It's starting to look like Jamal is looking for money. He did all this talking about wanting to win and stuff but he seems to be looking for the biggest payday and doesn't care whether he starts or not, or even go to the playoffs. Really, this guy is considering Sacramento and Minnesota? LOL, wow. Jamal disappointed me over the last few years.

And apparently he's ready to test free agency again as early as next season. His agent is telling teams, they won't sign more than a 2 year deal, which makes him not signing with the Pacers all the more puzzling. I really think he's waiting for the Kings to up their offer, which is said to be around $11mill for 2 years right now.
