    They probably would have had Rose too... Aldridge was a late bloomer.

    He's only "blooming" right now because of Roy's injury. In Chicago, it might have happened much earlier.

    Wouldn't that be sweet! Derrick Rose in a Blazer's uniform would be amazing.

    This is kind of interesting because I think a lot of people last year(me included) thought Boozer was the better PF due to his physicality. This year LaMarcus is bringing that physicality to his game, plus he has a considerable height advantage over Boozer and many other PFs.

    Not like they're not good enough to contend as is. With Noah they're a great team. A great team with flaws (Bogans, bench), but a great team nonetheless.

    Not sure about "great." They've proven nothing yet.

    Bulls fan since I was born, but I'm not gonna lie, Derrick Rose in the Rose Garden has a ring to it. Ahh, the possibilities on the wordplay.

    I'd put us in the second tier behind the Heat, Celtics, Spurs and Lakers. They're definitely a great defensive team. The offense is still very 2D.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, that's where I'd put them also. Not quite elite, but a very good team.
