Chicago could try to clear space to sign two max free agents (LMAO Knicks)

[djohn2oo8]

Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich are veteran enough to know if the Bulls do engineer a sign-and-trade this summer, one or both of them could be a part of the transaction.

"I would love to be here my whole career, but you have to understand the business side of it," Deng said. "There are always going to be changes."

The Bulls' dream scenario is to engineer a sign-and-trade for one premier free agent, preserving at least the $16.57 million needed to start a maximum contract for a second premier free agent.

Rose + Noah + Wade + Bosh = Dynasty

I like Chicago's young core more than Miami and New York; Noah and Rose are great players.

But...the Chicago management seems like a hell of a place to work for. Paxson seems like a douche and the fact that the management has had its mishaps speaks volumes of the organization. For what its worth, Rose wants Del Negro to stay which just adds more to the questionable quality of the Chicago franchise at the moment.

[Bartleby]

Right, I would think that the current coaching situation would be a big obstacle in their pursuit of big-name free agents.

[ffadicted]

Rose, Johnson, bosh and noah wooot

[Rogue]

It works at any time prior or posterior to 2010 to trade Deng&Hinrich straight up for one superstar, like Deng&Hinrich for Gasol proposal.

Saving some differences Wade and Rose have pretty similar games, I don't know how well they would play toghether.

They can still mesh together and score their averages look at Melo and AI back in Denver.

[JMarkJohns]

They could have already had enough had they traded Hinrich to LA for Morrison and Vujacic. Now they have to pray someone assumes their salary for next to nothing.

We dont want scrub players....

That didn't work too well, tbh. And although they are/were big time shooters and scorers their games weren't similar.

Just saying at what aspect could it not work? Ego problems? Not being able to put up their stats?

[DPG21920]

Joe and Rose would be a much better fit in theory. What will the Rockets do if the Bulls sign Bosh/Joe?

Similarities in game styles. They are both ball dominant players, that are at their best when they attack the basket. And neither is known for beign reliable spot up shooters.

How effective will any of those guys be playing off the ball?

Prior to this season, their hope had been entirely constructed on Mr. Shite so I think they will continue to count on him next season. At least it's still the rigid belief of most rockets fans that Mr. Shit will come back healthy to play 2010-2011, and many seasons following.

Well, it's up to Bosh really, even through a sign and trade. So if he does go to Chicago or Miami, then Morey will go after Stoudamire. If that plan fails, then I don't know who is third on his list

I reallyy don't think he'll be coming back after the one year on his contract expires. Hell, he might make good trade bait if someone was stupid enough to bite

Bosh will choose big D over any other city I believe.

it seems I need to consider you a real Rocket fan also... Now there are two real "Rockets" fans on Spurstalk in the forms of you and sook TBH, others who claiming to be Rockets fans are just the fans of Mr. Shiet actually.

[ChrisRichards]

Lefty's right.


I still dont know why a lot of people think Wade will bolt Miami for Chicago. For one, Wade and Rose as stated have similar games. They both need the ball in their hands to be fully effective. I can't imagine Wade or Rose sharing ball handling duties on the same floor. Its just not going to work.
