You be the GM. What moves would you make this off season? What direction would you take this team in? Who would you trade or sign?
Well you really dont have to make many moves. No need to make trades. Just draft and sign a few good big men and we will be in good hands.
I wouldnt want a trade to happen, i would have the Bulls draft Aldrige with their first pick, and then take the best available player with their second pick.Bulls got a lot of cap space so i wouldnt mind adding a scorer like Al Harrington and maybe Joel Przybilla to help in the front court.
idk if Al would be that much of a good fit. He looks to shoot tomuch. Joel would be a great add to the team
The one thing the Bulls lack is a Star player. they will have the Knicks pick in the first round this year, so they should have a top 5 pick if not the top pick. They do have a nice core of "role players" to fit around a star. 1.Draft: I say they pick LaMarcus Aldridge or Andrea Bargnani with thier first pick. I think Bargnani is probably going to be the better player. I will go with BCB and say they pick Yi Jianlian with thier other first rounder. that gives them a future front court of three 7 footers. 2. Keep Ben Gordon on the bench. Talk him into being the 6th man. I say if he stays as the 6th man, he will have the most success indiviaully and as a team. 3. Ok, i'm not totally sure about how much cap room they have, but i do believe they have a good amount of it. I honestly dont think they should try and sign a big vetern shooting guard like Peja. They should keep that money and use it on the players they have right now when they become free agents and make sure they have them as thier core for a long time.

Nah gordon wont stay a 6man. Hes too good for that.Deng is gonna get sooooo much better. Noc im not to sure. Hes always gonna work hard though
id rather have the Bulls try to develop the backcourt of Kirk and Ben. I like the way those two play together and i think they should continue starting them together. i dont expect the Bulls to risk drafting a player from Europe.
not much work needed to be done here.-Sign Al Harrington-Draft LaMarcus Aldridge and Richard Roby.Line-up:Kirk Hinrich/Chris DuhonBen Gordon/Richard RobyAndres Nocioni/Luol DengAl Harrington/Darius SongailaTyson Chandler/LaMarcus AldridgeORThey could trade for a superstar, like Paul Pierce (see my Kool-aid thread in the Cs section).
i like the idea of gettin Al Harrington, just cuz hes very consistent and i would like the Bulls to draft Aldringe cuz it'll add some size to our backcourt. i dunno much abouti would expect that Deng will eventually start over Nocioni
I don't see it happening any time soon. Nocioni has been doing better, more consistent. He's a feaking double-double machine! I used to not like him much, but now i really do.

He is way too inconsistent to be starting in front of Nocioni. Maybe it'll happen in two years or so. Nocioni also spreads the defense due to his 3 point threat. If you read my post, i would really rather have Gordon come off the bench and start both Deng and Nocioni. It doesnt look like that will happen.One other question, What do you think will happen to Michael Sweetney?
they already took his option for next season so he'll most likely be back unless they trade him. im guessin they force him to work out and lose some weight like they did with Curry last offseason
well, as for Noc starting over Deng, i don't think it has anything to do with Deng playing poorly, but it has everything to do with Nocioni playing out of his mind.As for Sweetney, i think he's only a quick fix. They'll keep him until they can get another low post threat to take his place. I could see him going to ATL in a S & T.
