Bosh is the most realistic one, but yeah he won't get us past round 2. Add Joe Johnson and then we're talking.

thinking of trading rose for johnson(both being star starting pgs) and then acquiring bosh as well? not sure if that is a bright move...

 

[Anil]

well done deers!

 

[Jono]

Yay.

Whoever put money on them at $42 must be over the moon.

 

[Johnners]

Jennings, wag.

 

[Jono]

Was that the guy for Milwaukee who hit almost every free throw near the end?

Was critical.

 

[Johnners]

Indeed

Haha, trade Rose? I haven't been shot enough times in the head to consider that a good idea. I was thinking more about Hinrich along with whatever else they can trade to get JJ. Also, he's a good shooting guard, something we're sorely missing, not a PG.

you won't get jj for hinrich and sundry...and since both are starting pgs, is jj to come off the bench? not gonna happen...

 

[Agent TBY]

I thought Joe Johnson was a 2G?

He's not a PG. Also, I believe his contract is up so he's fair game. I'm thinking:

Rose
Johnson
Deng
Bosh
Noah

isn't he the assists leader for the hawks? i thought he played point more than bibby or anyone else...and nice starting 5..

 

[nightprowler10]

Hmm...I've always thought his natural game is that of a 2 guard.

Its a bit of a pipe dream anyway though. I don't know if the Bulls can afford both Bosh and JJ...

 

[duffer]

Just don't give max money to Bosh and to Johnson. Neither will get you anywhere, having both would cripple you especially with the probable lockout and restructuring of the cap and max contracts coming soon. Only two guys worth max money are Lebron and Wade.

If I was Chicago, I'd give Amare a good go though, and Dirk(said he's considering evaluating his options after yesterday) would both be awesome fits next to Noah and would be unguardable in single coverage. It would retain Rose as your primary ball handler and his athleticism would thrive on the spacing they'd create for him. Replacing Salmons' defence should be a top priority too, if they still have a 1st round draft pick then a guy like Avery Bradley(Texas) would be huge for them. Offensively very much a project but the guy can already lock it down hard.

As for the Nuggz, gah will post later. Too depressing to think about what just happened.

 

[Mister Wright]

Very pleased with the Bucks. I really thought we wouldn't do it without Bogut, but they've really stepped up since going down 0-2 early in the series. A 2nd round effort would be just reward for a much improved season.

 

[nightprowler10]

Phew! Can't have the bucks going to round 2 without Bulls being there. Could never live it down.

 

[Mister Wright]

We would have made 2nd round with Bogut. No doubt.

 

[nightprowler10]

And we would have made it if we had LeBron. Ifs and buts etc.

 

[Johnners]

Heh, Cavs schooled by the Celtics. Going to be so annoyed if they fail again this season.

 

[Anil]

that was a brilliant performance from boston..

 

[duffer]

Knicks fans getting super excited at seeing Cleveland lay an egg. Going to be a huge off season for the league. Once the big chip falls, will be chaos.
