2012 Chicago Bulls Off Season Thread

[So-Chi]

Center is harder to fill so my untouchables are rose and noah (unless Howard develops a brain) I dont want them to pay deng another huge deal with booz being hard to move for an upgrade.

Point taken...but you'd rather get rid of Deng? He's gonna be a ISSUE he gets that wrist taken care of and keeps that 3 consistant

 

[So-Chi]

Kidd would be an upgrade over CJ N the Midget

But C.J. is gone anyway, and kidd is a good ball handler but neeeds someone to pass to...with Rose and Deng out, who's geting the ball Boozer? Rip?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

unless we move deng+plus gibson or bobcat pick or noah i cant see us getting that #2 option unless we strike gold in the lottery.

Bulls need Barton in their lives. I'd say Fournier, but I have a feeling he's gonna be gone before the pick comes up.

Warriors like him I would consider trading him for the 7th+a salary filler we gotta get creative to get rose a number 2 imo.

Pax sentimental ass ain't got the heart to trade him or Noah. Rose stuck wit these one dimensional fukkboys.

like I mentioned on GM we never trade players with positive value I dont get that shyt once we feel they have lost value to us then we wanna deal them

 

[smARTmouf]

ya'll know damn well we aint trading nobody...lol...


Will Barton looks good, and I've warmed up to him.....but I bet Thibs wants Jeff Taylor..

I personally wouldn't sleep on a Tyshawn Taylor to be honest....

maaan..its going out on a limb, but he a second ball handler for sure...AND he can defend the perimeter....

he just not that shooter...it would be bold as fukk, but I'm liking the tape on this kid..

 

[cellsius]

I read that the raptors are looking to shop the 8th pick for a foward. Deng for #8 and calderon?

 

[cornercommission2k12]

That 2nd option just not there

I warmed up to that last off season. Maybe dwight sees the light but that's our only hope.

We continue to look for this rape deal to happen in our favor and it ain't going to happen.

Best bet, move boozer for bum who can back taj up and a pick. Maybe we strike gold with that pick in the middle of the draft

Let the other role players walk and retool with players who can handle the ball

Honestly I'm torn on the ecf cause I know if boston loses we got a great shot at ray allen if they win meh

Biggest task is to trade booz we pull off that miracle all the other dominoes fall into place

Here is more talk I got in the massive e-mail replies today:

- I have confirmed the Bulls want to add at least 2 guys from this draft. Yes that's right. 2 guys.

- I'd also like to keep Korver but everything I heard indicates that the Bulls are going to keep everyone but the backcourt bench. My understanding is that nobody in the backcourt has stepped up yet and it's time for a change.

- I have now officially heard the Bulls would like to keep Taj Gibson long term and will work a contract extension with him this summer. The Bulls love their frontcourt, except for Boozer.

- The Bulls #1 priority is definitely a PG. I wouldn't be shocked if they trade for a PG here. They'd also very much like the Full MLE for a PG so you could see someone else moved possibly.

- JOHN reported Gasol + Harris for Deng + Watson + Boozer earlier is a rumor deal.

- KC thinks the Bulls will pay Asik $3.5M this season starting off.

- Bulls are looking at PG's, SG's and PF's in this draft. I keep hearing that the #29 will be a scorer/shooter.

- The Bulls want to bring John Lucas III back. Working a plan for him now. Per KC

Older News

Some pretty big news here:

Hearing that the odds the Bulls moving up is unlikely. The guy I talked to says that the Bulls are absolutely in love with about a half dozen guys late in the draft. Says mentally the Bulls believe they can strike gold late in this draft and land a special player late in the draft and this past success seems to be the path the Bulls want to take long term as there are no guarantees in the lottery either.

Also he says he knows the Bulls situation well and doesn't believe Paxson has the guts to trade Deng. Says he has a long history with Deng and Paxson and Gar will have to resign before Deng is traded. He believes the Bulls odds of moving Deng are basically none.

Also hearing that the Bulls want to target a PG, SG, and PF in this draft. They are seriously concerned about Watson feet and think it could be a long term problem for Watson. It sounds to me like Watson is as good as gone.

The odd news is a PF. Does that mean the Bulls could be moving Gibson?

Also hearing the chance of Brewer remaining a Bull next year are basically 0.

Korver still unknown.

Sam and KC think all 3 are gone 1 way or another Korver being the most likely guy thats kept.
