He will be better than Snell. He is 35 and coming off back surgery. We need a dynamic SF than run, score, defend....and needs to be younger.
No. It is not his fault. It is tough to see how the team is on a downward spiral. Hopefully they they somehow regroup over the All-Star weekend...
I voted yes, although a lot of it depends on what level he's capable of playing at upon his arrival. And I'm voting with the idea that "helping fix what's wrong with the Bulls" is not the same as "will fix what's wrong with the Bulls." A decent 2-way SF would have a disproportionately large impact on the team.......greater than that player's abilities alone would indicate. The team doesn't have the critical mass of 2-way players in the middle of its roster to support its top trio, and IMO the lack of really strong 5-man combinations you can put on the floor lowers the team's ceiling regardless of overall talent level. If Dunleavy can eat up minutes, it could be the finger in the dike that helps other pieces fall into place. There's also substantive value in not having anyone in your rotation that really sucks. Tony Snell really sucks, so there's a large addition-by-subtraction thing going on as well. We can now use Dunleavy to eat up the lion's share of the minutes and use Doug or Tony only when we need specialty shooting or specialty defense. But even though I think he'll help, I doubt Dunleavy is enough all by himself to take us from where we're to where we'd need to be content against a Golden State or Cleveland in the playoffs.
