Chicago Bulls 2009-10 Thread

Carmelo is the best pure scorer in the NBA. He and Rose on the same court isn't fair.

As a Nuggets fan, I love 'Melo. But his team was eliminated in the first round, and he had a better supporting cast than he would have in Chicago.

This year. Going forward? Not a chance. Rose is better than Chauncey and on his way to being way better. Noah is better than any of Denver's big men. Denver also wouldn't have gotten eliminated if Karl was healthy. Also, Utah is a much better team than their seed.

The bold part pretty much sums it up for Denver. I don't think the coach was as big of a factor, but still matters.

Denver has a better back court overall IMO. Billups/Smith/Afflalo/Lawson>Rose/Hinrich/Pargo/Murray.
Although Noah is better than Nene, I'd take Nene/Martin/Anderson/Allen over Chicago's front court.

Chicago's starters are definitely up there with Denver's non-Melo starters, but Denver has more depth.

I really really hope that the Bulls snag a true star in either this offseason, or Melo in 2011. Rose + Noah + X = awesome.

Del Negro is done, according to Yahoo.

No surprise.

Chicago sports people are atwitter with LeBron rumors here. I think it will end poorly for them.

Calipari in these rumors as well?

My dream scenario for the off-season:

Draft Henry, Anderson, or George assuming someone like Ed Davis doesn't fall to them
Sign Lebron
Trade Deng and James Johnson to Minnesota for Al Jefferson
Sign Mike Miller with a mid-level exception
Re-sign Brad Miller

Starting Line-Up
PF Jefferson
SF James
C Noah
SG Miller/Hinrich
PG Rose

Bench: Miller, Gibson, Hinrich/Miller, 1st rd pick, Murray?, Law?, Warrick?, Alexander?

Anyone else have theirs set?

Trade Deng and James Johnson to Minnesota for Al Jefferson

I'm no NBA expert. Why would the T-Wolves do that? They won't resign Jefferson?
