Everyone is talking about the possibility of Wade, Bosh, and James playing together in Miami. But that begs the real question: Why Miami? The Bulls have $30 million available in cap space. However, Deng's contract is worth $11.5 million. That would leave the Bulls at 41.5 to 42 million dollars available. Putting each player at about 14 million dollars each.
Sure it's one million dollars short of what the heat can offer. But the Heat don't have Rose and Noah. Not to mention you throw in Johnson and Gibson and there is more room. Look, if you are going to pick a team with only two players left why not pick the team that has two all-stars (calling Noah an all-star because he deserved it last year and should be one next year)?
So, all in all, I'm calling it right now. The starting lineup for your Chicago Bulls will be:
PG - Derrick Rose
SG - D'wyane Wade
SF - LeBron James
PF - Chris Bosh
C - Joakim Noah
Only way this team could be better is Dwight Howard. The nice thing about this team is that there are only three people who really feel like they NEED to score. I think it is going to happen, I think it was decided in Miami.
That would be absolutely insane. I know Wade is still in Chicago and is requesting another visit with the Bulls. He is also making the Heat come to Chicago which makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteMy questions isn't about who is going to score the points, but will Derek Rose, Lebron, D-Wade, Bosh and Noah have enough fingers for all those rings.
We will see shortly
ReplyDeleteJoakim Noah is a much better teammate for these guys than Howard would be. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI love the way we're positioning ourselves to nail down at least one prime guy, no matter who. Even if we just get Wade, this free agent season is a success. Seriously. He's the only guy that would make missing out on Bron okay.
