if im about still winning it all in a small window 1-3 years, i keep the core of keeping us contenders
jimmy, pau and yes rose.
because although he is not the guy who can do 25-30 every night, he is the guy who can give you a 34pt game 3 vs the bucks, and a 25, 30 and 33 pt game vs the cavs in the east semis in which the bulls go 2-1 in those games.
you pair that with a top 3 2 way player in the league in jimmy and a very serviceable center in pau, and you have pieces to still compete. you remove 1 of them you just became very middle of pack for years to come especially knowing you will never get equal value for any of them on the market and the bulls front office will not build around the remaining 1 or 2 properly, word to the 2011-2012 bulls.
then i keep taj because he is my safety net in case noah and pau bounce
i keep my most promising young prospects mcdermott and portis
then i haul the rest of these inconsistent perform well 1 out of every 5 games ass players the hell outta here and bring in new looks in all those positions.
and if hoiberg cant find a offense suitable for the team and get the players to move better without the ball in his offense, i get his ass outta here too.
lil drastic, but just my opinion.
