Some questions if LeBron & Bosh sign ... Will Rose stick around and be 3rd fiddle? Will Joakim Noah and LeBron get along? Will Joakin Noah stick around when he becomes a free agent? What happens with Luol Deng? Will head bands be allowed? Will Joakim Noah participate in the pre-game shenanigans? Who guards Dwight Howard?
With Rose being the Pass first type PG he is, Im sure he has no problem because Bron and Bosh would help take a lot of the load he had on him this past season. I think theyll have no choice. I think it was on Waddle and Silvy where I heard that Joakim would be the teammate doesnt fear lebron like the cavs did. I think Joakim will stay, Im sure he wants to be a Bull, but who knows. Luol will prolly get traded, I dont see him moving to SG Im sure headbands will be allowed, I think that might be the one thing the organization does for Bron Joakim prolly wont, but then again who knows. You always hate when it seems like a guy is showboating against you until youre on the same team as him Joakim, he plays center lol
Rose would be 2nd fiddle, and 1st option on a lot of plays. So would Bosh. If the Celtics could manage 3x HOF types, so can the Bulls. More related to the headband question... Will the Bulls allow him to act like a punk when we have a big lead? Noah will stick, and he'll get along fabulously with LeBron. I'd be happy with Deng as 6th man. He'll play 2-3-4 from time to time. If they want the UFAs, then they will wear headbands. Who cares? Noah, he's the C.
Doc Rivers always said if KG, PP and Ray Allen got together in their 20's, it would have been a disaster.
Rivers was a disaster before those guys showed up at the same time. Ainge was considered one of the worst GMs, too. I think he makes excuses because his guys are really old.
Yes Rose would rather setup his teammates than score. Hes takes over games when he sees that he needs too, which was a lot this year. Hell, last year they told him he had to start shooting more because he was passing up shots and not asserting himself
Ainge was two months from being fired. I couldn't believe he was able to put that team together. It's one of the greates coups of all time. Completely agree about the excuses too.
Before adding the two superstars, Rivers took a 45 win team and took it to 33 wins and then 24. Ainge is pretty much the same story.
Rose should defer to the two All-Stars, I think he will by force if necessary. He's not going to tell LeBron how long to handle the ball, and Chris will definitely ask for his shots.
Am I the only Bulls fan ho doesn't actually believe Lebron will sign with us? If we get just Bosh, and a deeper bench i'm a happy man.
I agree with you. I still think he'll stay put in Cleveland. But I do think the Bulls are the favorites to land him if he doesn't stay.
Im in the same boat, Im not getting excited until July 1st and I hear that Lebron has chose us to play for next season. All this speculation is kind of pissing me off tho cuz there are sooo many other bulls fans that i know that swear up and down on lebron coming here (one of my friends from school had a lebron in a bulls jersey as his facebook picture) and Id hate to see how theyre gonna feel if he doesnt sign with us.
I think he's coming, and that he basically got the message to the Bulls that they needed to make cap space for another FA (Bosh) and that Deng should stay if possible.
Well technically, by reports that Im seeing, even with the Hinrich trade still doesn't get us enough room to sign 2 max players. Now of course, one of them could take a small paycut since they would be playing with each other. But I do understand what youre saying, I just hope this doesnt blow up in our faces and we find out that World Wide Wes has been lying to everyone or we dont even wind up wit Johnson or Boozer
I'm not sure what you expected out of Rivers with the rosters he had in Boston and Orlando. They were terrible. 99.9% of knowledgeable NBA players, alumni and coaches will tell you he's a good coach. If you want to disagree with that, then go ahead. I can see your beef with Ainge's first couple years as GM, but he put together a contender and won a title and went to game 7 of the finals in a 3 year span. You can try to downplay that all you want but the bottom line is he has had more success than most other GMs in the league. I thought all fans were smart enough to know you need talent to win in the NBA, but I guess I might have been wrong.
