Post subject: | Rose and Noah's letter to LBJ/Wade |
Per the SportsGuy: 6. Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah (tie) Their 2010 playoff performances were a co-written love letter to LeBron and Wade. Here's what the letter said: Dear LeBron and Dwyane, We are wired correctly. We give a crap. We want to win. We are really really good. We are warriors. We could absolutely be the second-best and third-best guys on a team that wins multiple titles. Sadly, this can't happen without one of you. Please think about Chicago. It's cold during the winter, but during the spring and summer, there's no better place. It's the No. 3 TV market. It's the city that once had the greatest player ever. We're firing our coach and GM this summer; if you want, you can pick the next two guys. We want to win titles. Not title ... titles. By the way, Joakim wants you to know that he isn't nearly as annoying if he's your teammate. Much respect, Joakim and Derrick Really entertaining article. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/st ... ons/100429 |

You might want to include that you'll relocate DWade's family drama to another location. He will not be coming to Chicago. However, if Phil Jackson comes back.................... |

I still don't think Wade is the best fit for this team. 1> LBJ 2> Bosh 3> Joe Johnson/Boozer combo platter 4> Wade |

Agree and I agree Wade is not the guy for this team Bosh and... STEVE NOVAK! OK he is not my primary or even secondary guy, but this guy could shoot the three in college and he is 6'10". Always thought this guy would be a great weapon in the pros. Having a 6'10" 3 point guy can be used somewhere and especially at the low price of $1 M |

I disagree. Boozer won't be a max guy and JJ is borderline because of his age. Losing Kirk's and/or Deng's salary will put the Bulls in position to get 2 max guys. What I think is likely to happen is the Bulls will work out a sign and trade that includes Deng going to Phoenix (Amare) or Atlanta (Joe Johnson) and then sign Wade (if they trade for Amare) or Bosh (if they trade for Joe Johnson). |

They have to trade Kirk AND Deng for the money to work. I dont see it happening. Also Atlanta has come out on more than one occassion and said they will offer JJ the max. There are 6 other teams with max room, and he's definitely higher than top 6 in the FA market right now. Boozer wont be a max guy but if Amare gets close to it so will he, unless he really bombs the rest of the series against the Lakers. |

Actually all they have to trade is Deng to get 2 max guys. I wouldn't trade Deng unless I could get LeBron/Wade and Bosh. Deng will make $11M next season and that is probably about $1 too much. I don't think 18 and 7 is easy to come by for a 25 year old guy. The Bulls don't have to give up Kirk and Deng ($20M in salary) to sign 2 full boat guys. They just need to deal $12.5M in salary back to whatever team they work out a sign and trade deal with. That could be Kirk and both 1st round draft picks or Kirk and James Johnson and one 1st round pick. They could also sign and trade a guy like Brad Miller (whose contract has expired) and include him in any deal. |

Everything I've read and heard says that we are just about at one max guy in cap room right now. Moving just Deng wouldnt be enough, it'd have to be Deng and Kirk. |

A max guy will get $16.7M (LeBron, Wade, and Bosh) based on their current contract. Right now the Bulls are about $24M under the cap. |

I could see NY giving LeBron $50M a year. |

Paul Allen? From the way he looks years may not be in his vocabulary. |
