Right Here.
Just like the title reads. After the lockout gets squared away, who are free agents and who do you think might get traded? We need a SG who can score.

Hard to say. If Hamilton and Gordon get bought out, I'd like to think they'd be after a ring.

People are high on Jason Richardson, but I don't think he's the answer.

Memphis doesn't want to deal with the Bulls, so Mayo is unlikely.

The Bulls will look very similar whenever next season starts.

:pray: they find a 2 guard, but they may not be able to.

i's the same usual names that keep popping up.

Courtney Lee, JR Smith, OJ Mayo, Rip Hamilton, etc.

We just gotta wait for the new CBA to see how we can obtain one of those guys.

I really feel like the Bulls should have made a deal last season... they said they were waiting to "catch a big fish," but now it looks like they might not be able to get a SG that would be a legit starter

JR Smith
OJ Mayo
Michael Redd (he should be cheap and could be worth the risk)
C. Lee

of that list, the only one I'd actually want is Lee.

you're best bet is a guy who is a large threat from deep

redd,lee,smith(he's kind of a red flag tho),etc.

with korver,this SG, and rose and deng improving their outside shot

many teams wont be able to pack it in as well defensively....

still..i dont see a huge difference with getting one of those SGs..but it certainly helps

I heard this wasn't true and that they asked for Ronnie Brewer and either Gibson or Asik and we wouldn't do it.

Mayo would have to agree to a deal before they accept a trade with him since he will be a free agent next summer. I don't see them trading for someone to only lose them in the following offseason. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get any of the usual suspects. I won't be shocked to see Ronnie Brewer start next year.

Only ones who we have shot at and who would be best fit are C. Lee and J.R. Smith.

I say no one. Cap prevents us from getting anyone good and management just decides to stick with the group we got and hope to build off of good chemistry and whatnot. But that might just be because this whole lockout nonsense gives me the feeling that the owners are going to have the most one sided (in terms of player/owner revenue split) deal in sports history.

This may seem out of left field, but if the Bulls swing and miss on the guys that are mentioned above, a safe player to sign who can score the ball when given minutes could be Chris Douglas-Roberts. The guy knows D-Rose as they were college teammates, he can handle the ball and score--he had two 30 point games this past season against grade A competition (Bulls,Miami), when Skiles gave him time. Plus he probably would come cheap, as he would be an under the radar signing for any team. Seeing as how Mayo, Lee, Brown,Hamilton, Gordon, Carter and Smith all seem unlikely at this point, he may be the route that the FO takes. Don't know how much he would help the team in the playoffs, but he could be, at the very least, a short term solution.

tom can ask phil how to rebuild their deffense, jackson knows how to close any player, from forward to center. that is my opinion.
