Boozer did take less than Max! Leaving room for a full boat Max player.

If someone gave Boozer the max they should be fired immediately. He was never a max guy. He should have never been an $80M man. Last year no one wanted to give him $12M.

Maybe if Derrick Rose had been doing it all along they wouldn't have to rely on Boozer.

With LeBron the Bulls have the best start 5 in the NBA and would likely come out of the East. With LeBron Miami has the best "Big 3" in the NBA but the lineup isn't better than the Lakers or Magic IMO.

Riley will find the right guys to make things work.

That's a lot of guys taking the minimum. They are minimum players for a reason. They're either old or bad. Unless they manage to keep Beasley IMO the Heat would be the 3rd best team in the league on paper. At the very least LeBron now has someone to pass the ball to in the 4th quarter.

:lol: Come on guys, if the Bulls had Wade, Bosh, and Lebron regardless of who else they put on the team with them, you would be proclaiming a title easy!

Three superstars, and nine other D-Leaguers (not Doug-Leaguers) are not going to win shit. They are going to have to play huge minutes every game, and whenever someone goes to the bench, the scrubs won't be able to step up.

You're positive the roster will be filled out by D-leaguers?

You might get a couple old veterans to come along for one last ride at the minimum salary, but I don't think you can fill out a roster with those types of guys either. One or two...fine. But adding 9 other old farts wouldn't be helpful either. They are obviously going to be very good this year, but I just don't see them winning a championship.

No I wouldn't. I would be happy but I wouldn't think title without seeing what else is around them. That's obviously a great start. They have 2 of the top 4 or 5 players in the NBA on their team and one of the best big men in the game. That being said I still don't expect them to be better than the Lakers or the Magic.

I really do believe that this was a done deal a long time. I doubt there is an objective person that can honestly say Miami with Wade and Bosh offers LeBron a better chance at winning than the cast the Bulls have right now. It's just not possible. The fact that LeBron is about to play for a team that won't be his is reason enough to fire Maverick. The best player in the NBA is about to play the role of Robin.

I'm going to miss defending Lebron to you. A lot of the things you've said in the past about him are 100% right. He just seems to not have the right grasp on things.

At least we'll always have Obama.
