    Bulls about to acquire Watson Sources say

    The Bulls and Warriors are close to a deal that would send C.J. Watson to Chicago, according to sources. A deal appears to be imminent.

    Bulls have expressed interest in Watson before.

    We got our backup point.

    As long as we're not adding core pieces, Watson is a pretty good pick up.

    Hellya! We badly need this type of guy. We should still find the best big we can for a $4M deal for 1 year. But this has been a fantastic recovery post-Superfriends. I think we can compete.

    Our 7th and 8th best players are better than their 7th and 8th best players. (Might even be better than that. :>)

    Re: Bulls about to acquire Watson Sources say

    I'd probably go with Kurt Thomas

    Rasho interests me as well

    Either one or the other

    And maybe Derrick Byars comes to camp again and scraps for a spot

    Pargo will be back at minimum

    So....



    Noah
    Boozer
    Deng
    Korver
    Rose

    bench

    Nesterovic/Asik
    Gibson/Richard
    Johnson/Byars ( minimum )
    Brewer/ Murray ( minimum )
    Watson/Pargo ( minimum )



    I still believe we'll end up 3rd seed in the East behind Supertramps and the Magic

    C.J. Watson's contract is a 2-year deal worth $6.5 million and a non-guaranteed third season, according to source.

    I would go with K Thomas and either Byers or Almonds as a back up guard. We still need another pg (Lucas III?) for the vet min We need at least 13 players. We have just 1o right now.

    It's over. Stern may as well cancel the season and award the Bulls the Larry O'Brien now. :-)

    Brewer is going to start. Korver is a 17 MPG type player. Watson is going to get a lot of minutes backing up both G positions.

    Re: Bulls about to acquire Watson Sources say

    Heh, I've got to say that Watson's deal seems mildly expensive to me. The only guy I'm really enthused about is Brewer. I think we can compete only Deng really steps up his level of play to where he was at in 06-07. Then I'd give a fair chance that we could have the best defense in the league, and a good offense to go with it
