Besides Rose and Noah, who do you think will be starting for them in November?

Goff is reporting Wade & Bash to Chicago is imminent, so I'll go with:

Rose
Wade
Taj
Bosh
Noah

So you are assuming Deng is going to be traded? Is that pretty much a foregone conclusion?

Rumor has it the Bulls have a trade in place to move him for a center. They need to do it if they want to pay both guys the max.

Do you feel that Goff has reliable sources on this stuff? Does he have better sources than a lot of the other guys reporting on all of this?

No idea on that, haven't heard him break a story like this before. He has sort of, kind of, backtracked a little. He's still saying that's what his sources told him, but his tweets since don't sound as factual as the first.


This could be big for him if he gets it right, that's for sure.

This is what I believe the Bulls lineup will look like:

Noah
Boozer
Deng
LeBron
Rose

There was a story on Yahoo! that also claimed that the Bulls were going to trade Deng for a center.

well if we get wade and bosh, lebron can stay in cleaveland because 1 guy isnt going to stop rose, wade, bosh, taj g. and noah....

Agreed.

i also just heard dwade's comment about whats going to happen. he was in chicago and he said "i am here to decide on the next 40 years of my life, not the next 10".

to me, that means 100% dwayne wade is going to be a chicago bull. bosh will most likely come too. this is going to be fucking awesome.

Really? I'll take your word. If I have the choice between Wade and LeBron I will take LeBron.

As dangerous as it sounds, I'm gonna try and interpret what Ike is saying.

Because Wade is planning for the next 40 years and not the next 10 years, Chicago is what he will choose. This has nothing to do with LeBron's plans.

_________________

I got that. I was surprised he put it at 100%. I took that as Wade saying he wants to play with an organization that will be loyal and provide his family with security for the next 40 years. Considering the Bears championship teams of the 60's and 80's are still living off of 1 title and MJ and Scottie get standing ovations every time they are shown on the jumbotron that very well could be Chicago but I wouldn't eliminate Miami completely.

if there was a choice between the two i want lebron. the only way the bulls should go for wade is if they know lebron is staying home

Rose
Noah
Boozer
Deng
Ron Mercer

I think Boozer is a lock to come here if the Bulls miss out on 2 of the big 3 or all of them.

_________________

I need basketball brains better than mine to pontificate on how will Wade and Rose work out on the same court. My sense of is that this team is going to end up like it always does: undersized, mediocre defensively, undisciplined from shot selection perspective due to desperate need to score from the outside.

Convince me of the contrary.
