My favorite teams
An all Hinrich and McDermott lineup. CHAMPIONSHIPthis is honestly believable
they've been trying to clone Hinrich for years now

how nuts will the UC go when Doug hits a 3 for big macs?

Hinrich/Brooks

Mirotic/Bairstow
Gasol
Gasol should absolutely come off the bench to back up Noah. Gibson has yet to hit his ceiling and is entering his prime, while Gasol is exiting his. Don't get me wrong (I know gasol matched his career avg last season.). I don't care. Plus, Gibson is way undersized to play back up center. Mirotic, the best player in the world outside the NBA finally comes to Chicago, and they might third string him?? That's insane.
As far as guards and small forwards, neither Dunleavy or McDermott can play defense on the Lebrons and Durant's of the NBA world. I'd much rather take my chances with Butler and Snell playing the 3.
Regardless of any 5 players the bulls have out on the court at a time, they have significant depth. This can tweak the line up a number of ways.
Big line up: Rose, McDermott, Mirotic, Gasol, Noah, two 40% 3pt shooters with 2 excellent post passers.
Small line ups
Defensive line ups
Offensive line ups
Ect
nope no mention of JR Smith, Ben Gordon, Standpatpax or use of :aj:, or
and his avy is not:
I think Rose-Butler-Dunleavy-Gibson-Noah should start and finish the game due to their experience and intelligence.
McBuckets, Mirotic, Gasol, Snell, Brooks, Heinrich could be a versatile group to mix and match with combinations of those starters. Gasol and Mirotic playing together to groom him a while could be beneficial, while I still would like another legitimate big option in depth.
He's also way too coherent.
