Updated: 2014-2015 Bulls Lineup

Potential 2014 line-ups?

Rose-Butler-Melo-Gibson-Noah (bench-Augustine-Dunleavy-Mirotic-2C-1st round pick-2PF-1st rond pick bobcats)


Rose-Bryant-Mirotic-trade all other assets to move up in draft-Noah (bench-augustine-?)

Rose-Butler-Dunleavy-Boozer-Noah (Gibson-

 

[ChettheJet]

Rose's knees Hinrich Augustin
Butler Snell Martin
Noah Nazr if he's still breathing, probably another draft pick
Boozer Gibson 1st round pick
some FA Dunleavy


I'll be shocked if they amnesty Boozer, it's not their style. Now if someone is willing to take on that big expiring deal I can see them trading him but this franchise isn't prone to paying someone that much money to go away, especially someone who is not a locker room negative.

With the cap space they already have they have to sign a starter, if it's a 3 then Butler is a guard or if it's 2 then Jimmy is a 3. Rose's knees will start the season but they keep Hinrich on a one year deal because he's worth having as a backup and they've shown how much they like him. After being on the team one day he got in a game you can see Martin as a possibility to stay, veteran, shooter, defense and low priced, a new version of Adrian Griffin.

Rose, Augustine
Snell
Butler, Dunleavy
Gibson (Mirotic)
Noah

That's who I expect to see next season if there aren't any trades.

I wonder what will happen to Kirk Hinrich ...

Bucks want to move Gary Neal right???

1. Rose
2. Butler
3. Melo
4. Gibson
5. Noah

You're right.

 

[JosMin]

Starters

Rose's orthopedic surgeon
Butler's nagging injuries
Dunleavy's supremely underrated pompadour
The Ghost of Carlos Boozer: Or a ridiculous overpay on Mirotic
Joakim Noah's non-stop effort in a game he returns from a plantar fascia injury

Bench

Shabba Ranks AKA Tony Snell
Marquis Teague's 4 minute empty stat contributions in a 36-point blowout
Did we really pay Taj Gibson $36 million dollars?
Doesn't matter.
Who Cares?
Some guy on a 10-day contract because God forbid we stay in the luxury tax at the expense of putting a championship contender on the floor
Erik Murphy

Below is my post from yesterday in another thread:

Thank you for clearing that up. I was under the assumption that everyone on these message boards heard Pax loud & clear when he stated this during his press conference.

Matter of fact, Gar has always used Noah & Rose when he describes the core. He would exclude Deng & Boozer when discussing the core.

If Noah was not on a bargain contract, I could see him on the trading block. Considering he's a top 3 (debatable) NBA center on a good deal, the FO will hold on to him. I'm actually becoming excited for next season. We could potentially see a line-up next season of:

Rose
Lottery Pick SG
Jimmy Buckets
Love or LMA
Noah

or

Rose
Lottery Pick SG
Melo
Mirotic
Noah

We could be looking at a monster squad next season. I'm extremely excited.

Depending on who we have to include in trades, the bench is too unpredictable for me to forecast.

 

[RoseMVP1]

From what I've heard the Bulls are looking to specifically move Noah, Boozer, and Hinrich and are open to also giving up anyone else besides Rose, Butler, and Taj.

Rose
Butler
Anthony
Taj
F/A or Lottery pick

Snell
Teague
Murphy
Mirotic
Bobcat 1st rounder
F/A
F/A

 

[clonetrooper264]

Most realistic roster for most of next year

Starters
Augustin
Snell
Dunleavy
Boozer
Noah

Bench
Taj
Teague if he's not in the DLeague
Scrub #1
Scrub #2
Who cares
Some draft picks that won't ever play

IR
Rose because he's a useless cripple right?
Butler because Thibs will have run him into the ground faster than Deng could've ever hoped to be
Hinrich because it's just not Bulls basketball otherwise

[Crystallas]

DeJaun Blair eh. He can teach Rose how to play without ACLs. Genius.

 

[Axl Rose]

payne and craft in the draft....how exciting

[JosMin]

DeJaun Blair eh. He can teach Rose how to play without ACLs. Genius.

He's the next Chuck Hayes -- playing center at 6'7''. Although, Hayes is listed at 6'6"

[PlatinumPlus502]

Am i the only one who does not want melo? Why not make the efforts to land lebron and instantly jump back into contention? Melo doesnt play D. Melo is a cancer and we will almost be guaranteed to never win a championship with him.
