I would think Afflalo is a potential move for the Bulls if they don't get Carmelo.

Unless affalo is being moved in a trade to the t wolves or knicks he's pushin 30 and has 3 years and 20+ mil left on his contract

[god shamgod]

we would get both

Best guess is Arron Afflalo would be Bulls "full roster" plan with Mirotic, Afflalo, other free agents. (Source: K.C. Johnson)

 

[red222]

let me dream but yeah I think it's doable

 

[cornercommission2k12]

If melo would take 15-16 mill it would be very possible to add both

Would mean trading taj but the bulls could still have thier rmle not the full one but partial

Could possibly grab Jordan hill or bring mirotic over

Rose
Afflalo
Melo
Mirotic
Noah

Of course our fo don't move like that so I expect a afflalo trade if we strike out on melo

Chicago Bulls could be cooling off on Carmelo Anthony and now looking at Arron Afflalo - (Article: K.C. Johnson) -

Unclear how Afflalo talks affect FA plans. Guess would be if Bulls land him, this is the "fuller roster" plan. Mirotic, Afflalo, other FAs

 

[red222]

DON'T BUY IT

 

[beenz]

if aaron aafalo is our top move in the off season, then garpax gots to

 

[beenz]

Just for example
Knicks receive: unguaranteeds+2016 Sacramento 1st
Magic receive: Boozer+#19+#16+Dunleavy
Bulls receive: Anthony+Afflalo

I'd have to the FO if they pulled that shyt off.

I'd have to the FO if they pulled that shyt off.

K.C. comin right in to pump the brakes on our Afflalo and Melo dreams

And do they even know what Mirotic's gonna do this summer?

The push to make sure Carmelo Anthony is wearing a Bulls uniform continues heating up heading into the NBA’s draft week, and maybe no one wants the forward’s services more than coach Tom Thibodeau.
According to one former NBA coach who had Anthony on his team, Thibodeau has not only reached out to him with numerous calls, but several other coaches that worked with Anthony on a daily basis.

“I even told Tom that there may be days he will want to blow his own head off when it comes to ‘Melo’s defense, but he keeps saying he knows he can make it work,’’ the coach said. “It’s not that Carmelo can’t play defense, it’s just how often, and he knows every trick in the book on getting around that.’’

The fact that the Bulls are in full-court-press mode on Anthony comes as no surprise, especially since it was first reported that center Joakim Noah not only courted Anthony during the All-Star Game back in February, but continued the recruitment up on the Knicks forward throughout the second half of the season.

It would seem that Noah is not alone, as Derrick Rose has reportedly gotten involved, as well as Thibodeau using back channels to let Anthony know that his addition could mean big things for both Anthony and the Bulls.
“There’s no question they would be better with him – with or without his defensive inconsistencies,’’ the source continued. “As I told Tom, ‘You’re in the East, Tom. Remember, you’re in the East.’ ‘’
