lostfan Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That trade probably doesn't make the Bulls any better. I guess you put Aldridge at C but that's pretty much a lateral move and now you have another hole at SG and you're forced to re-sign Deng whether you want to or not.

ZoomSlowik Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah, what's your lineup next year if you do that? Rose/Dunleavy/?/Gibson/Aldridge? Meh. Before someone says it, they would have less than $10 million in cap space even without Deng and Boozer because they'd have about $49 million committed to 6 players. I don't see it as a "next step" move unless they can keep Noah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that's the exception when you think it ought to be the rule. We just don't know how many times teams unsuccessfully force bad deals down others' throats.

thxfrthmmrs Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 http://www.nba.com/games/20130718/MIACHI/gameinfo.html Very nice game for Teague, and he's still 20 years old with high ceiling. Looking at the bottom of the Bulls box score and I spotted R. Allen and C. Boozer and thought we somehow stole Ray Ray from the Heat. But turns out it was just some scrubs named Ryan Allen and Charles Boozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But turns out it was just some scrubs named Ryan Allen and Charles Boozer. Reports are that Teague's offense has been coming along. Not great on the shooting outside yet but really starting to take advantage of his speed, fastest guy on the court, etc. But, weak on defense, gaping hole. Then again, that's a setup the Bulls have had success with before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My non-sensationalist revision would be, "some folks in here would rather risk getting worse by making a splash than staying the same.

I want the Bulls to win it all, not "be good enough to compete and maybe pull it out if certain other players get injured and our players dont get injured" It isnt sensationalist to want the Bulls to be better.

lostfan Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does anyone even know what the status quo actually IS? The last time we saw this team performing at or near its peak was Game 1 of the playoffs in 2012, and the 2012 season itself was full of lockout-related anomalies.

You arent going to see those two get tremendously better, and with Carlos you could see him drop off or revert back to his injury issues. Im not advocating a trade simply to make a trade. I want the FO to make a move to make this team better and stop dangling the carrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
