Overall Nice Guy
We have the cap space to just absorb him for a 2nd rounder if we wanted pretty much.

His rebounding was basically on the same level as Crowder's this year. Beyond that he's a lazy defender (Which is the last thing we need to pair with IT), while also being a ballstopper on offense.
Also in regards to salary matching, let's not forget that he has a trade kicker.
He clearly has his negatives...but if we're in it to truly contend..what are our other options besides praying for Hayward? Call NO and see if they have buyer's remorse with Boogie? George is out. Doubt the Bulls trade Butler. Blake is fragile. Idk.
Millsap for 2 years. Solidify front court with players who would fit perfectly under Stevens.
Not opposed
Not sure why you think George is out, unless you think he wouldn't commit to staying here long term
Correct
"Not one man can guard me. And that's just the confidence I have, but also my coaching staff and my teammates put me in position to be successful. No matter what other teams are doing, Brad [Stevens] figures it out and puts me in the position to be the best player I can be, and my teammates allow me to do that, as well."

We have a 69% chance of winning what is now a best-of-3 series. :GladBrad:

Of all the rants and things for Hoiberg to be bothered by in Game 4, he picked one of the lowest hanging fruits to get worked up about trying to explain why his team was torched (again) by Thomas who had 33 points on 10-for-21 shooting.
First of all, if the officials started to call a carry every time they saw one, NBA games would become longer than overtime football games or baseball games with extra innings.
And again, Thomas’ alleged carrying the ball aside, that doesn’t explain how Hoiberg has yet to figure out how to successfully adjust to Boston’s small-ball lineups or how Gerald Green lit them up for 16 first-half points in Game 4 on jumpers and drives to the rim, or how Chicago had a 12-10 advantage on offensive rebounds but Boston outscored them 17-10 on second-chance points, not to mention getting out in transition more which led to them winning the fast-break battle, 17-9.
Those are real, in-need-of-fixing-type problems that should be given more thought by Hoiberg than whether Thomas is carrying the ball.
Hoiberg won’t admit it, but the bigger problem with Thomas is that the Bulls simply don’t have a player who can slow Thomas down – not even Butler who is one of the best two-way defenders in the NBA.
Blakely: Thomas' dribbling should be least of Hoiberg's concerns after Game 4
fukk HOiberg!

One more win. :Plotting:
Horford's been having a good series.
