2012 Chicago Bulls Off Season Thread

I'm sure the team with the best SF in the league is gonna trade the 2nd best SG in the league for another SF

i hope miami fanbase push riley to that point and convince all of florida to ship wade out. yeah yall go ahead and do that and keep lebron.

i see a 3 team deal in the clouds that would land wade here

once wade is back in a scene where he can become that alpha dog again, which he will become because rose will play more point guard that ever, them 2 would run the league.

go ahead and think wade lost a step if yall want to. wade aint lost a step, he and bron dynamic dont mix right now. when you spend a career making 90% of the decisions with the basketball whether scoring or passing to now watching another player dominate the ball and have to play off the ball to at least 70% of the night its going to have an effect on your game.

crazy thing is they could figure it out tomorrow, wade has a 40pt game and they all love him again lol

Why would we want Wade's contract? If hes regressed this much this year, imagine consequent seasons... dude is FLABBY.

if miami puts it out he's available, then teams will line up for his services.

Nikola Mirotic is in no rush to start his NBA career.

“He’ll remain under contract with Real Madrid for the next couple years,” Bulls general manager Gar Forman said. “But it’s certainly our goal and our expectation that Nikola will be in a Chicago Bulls uniform somewhere down the line. We’ll continue to monitor his progress and feel really good about the development that’s taking place.”

Mirotic was acquired by Chicago in a draft night deal last summer. This past season, he became the first two-time Euroleague Rising Star Trophy winner.

“Nikola is a very skilled player,” said Forman. “He can play inside and he can play outside. He can knock down the three-point shot. He’s a hardnosed player who we think will really fit in to our system.”

And this is why he fell as far as he did.

But I guess the expectation was 2014.

Here is what I can say:

Bulls requirements Trading Deng:
- Cap Relief (Absorb Deng)
- Lottery Pick
- Ability to use the Full MLE
- No Tax

Players I could see the Bulls moving:
- Deng
- Gibson
- Watson
- Korver
- Brewer

Teams I could see them dealing with:
- Sacramento
- Toronto
- Cleveland
- Portland
- Charlotte
- New Orleans

Most likely teams I see them dealing with right now:
- Sacramento
- Toronto

I'm saying the Kings want to send Salmons. The deal died and my guess is because the Bulls want immediate cap relief. We're sending picks out as well.

Deng/Taj/Picks for Evans/#5/Salmon

Doesn't look so great now does it with Evans contract coming up and Salmons one of the worst contracts in the NBA.

Check the Draft Board for latest detail

The Kings and Raptors have also made offers for Deng

Garcia + #5 for Deng (Kings Offered)
Garcia or Salmons + Evans + #5 for Deng + Gibson + Bobcats Pick (Kings Offered)
Evans + #5 for Deng + Future Pick + Bobcats Pick (Bulls Offered)
Calderon + Davis + #8 for Deng
Calderon + #8 for Deng
Davis + #8 for Deng

from realgm

 

[red222]

My guess based on what I heard with the 3 way deal with the Bobcats

Bobcats <-- #5 + Bobcats Pick back
Bull <--- #2 + Evans
King <---- #31 + Gibson + Deng

Am I missing something?? Why are we so ready to deal deng of all people? Is it because we have no choice??

 

[Rice N Beans]

Damnit brehs we need Boozer to fall in the Chicago River or something.

Not feeling that trade. We lose Deng and Gibson.

What's your thoughts on the KG rumors? I'd love to see Deng get the ship here, fam..
