If the Bulls can get Boozer or David Lee plus a 2 guard that can shoot lights out (Korver, Redick or Mike Miller), that wouldnt be so bad. Sure, these aren't the names that get your fan base and the city fired up, but that would be a pretty nice starting 5 and core to build on.

yeah it wouldn't be "so bad"... in terms of them getting a playoff bid every year. I wouldn't expect much more than that -- maybe a 2nd round appearance. They wouldn't be one of the top 10 teams in the league, though. Boozer is labeled as "overrated" by nearly every expert... he may be just a role player.

Those guys like Redick and Korver are a dime a dozen.

Boozer is a career 20-10 guy...right???

Or pretty damned close.....right????

He may not lead this team to any Championships...I get that....

But they are much BETTER with him...MUCH BETTER.....right???

I like Boozer. He reminds me of a poor man's Karl Malone. He can do the pick and roll, hit the short/medium jumper and post up. He should be a good player with Rose.

But the Bulls STILL need a 2 guard that can defend. I'd still like to see Miller come back. That would set the front line. I'd also like to see a guard that can shoot the 3 at a 40% clip.

pretty much. career numbers are 17.2 points and 10.2 boards. career 54.1% field goal shooter.

The Bulls did everything in their power to land any/all of the BIG 3.....But it looks like they will not get any of the 3.......

They tried.....

What I mean is Boozer is a "pick and roll" player. If the Bulls managed to land a Ray Allen or someone else who could spread the floor, they'd look pretty good. The Bulls were forced to run the pick and roll with Noah which isn't Noah's game. Adding a shooter and Boozer is going to make Rose look a lot better next year, but they still aren't as good as:

Miami (even without Lebron)
Orlando
Boston
Atlanta
Cleveland (if they keep Lebron)
maybe even New York

I'd say this is a 5/6 seed in the playoffs... which means they'll likely be a 2nd round exit when they play one of the above teams.

Boozer is a nice upgrade, but without one of the "Big 3" they'll just be "decent" team. I was hoping for much more than "decent."

The Bulls will spend another 5-10 years in NBA Hell......

Decent team...
May win 45-50 games....
May win a playoff series....
May even get to the conference finals.....

But they will not win any championships................

they are better than Miami right now. if miami gets lebron, than miami will be better.

miami currently has two good players, two ok players and then nothing. really, nothing. currently have 2 under contract, and two commitments

bulls have a pretty solid line up in Boozer, Deng, and Noah up front with them being backed up by Gibson and James.

backcourt is a major issue unless Rose can play both the point and 2 guard at the same time.

no way they are better than Miami as of today. Deng is soft... I don't know why the Bulls fell in love with him. Noah gives you defense and is a hustle player but hardly a difference maker. I have a hard time Taj Gibson/James Johnson are a selling point for this team being a title contender...

The Bulls cut their own throats at the Guard position and anyone who can stop the pick n roll combo of Rose and Boozer will beat them. That is about half the teams in the East. If they get a decent "2" then they'll be in the top 5/6 teams in the East. They needed Lebron or Bosh or DWade to be title contenders.

as they stand today....Miami can't even put 5 on the court. they have wade, bosh, beasley, and chamlers

bulls have. rose, boozer, noah, deng along with gibson and james.

boozer puts up numbers in bosh catagory. rose is just a shade behind wade right now. miami has nobody to play the 5 and deng is better tahn beasley. deng puts up 17 points a game. could be a better rebounder and passer, but he is decent on D. not a banger, but doesn't need to be with noah and boozer manning hte post.

as they stand today, bulls are a better team. come tonight, that may be different.

... I'm assuming they'll use part of the $25MM they have left to get someone to play the other positions!

no way Boozer is in the same league with Bosh. Boozer isn't the playmaker Bosh is, many feel he is just a product of the system they ran in Utah. Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, and Dwight Howard will all handle Boozer with relative ease. I'm not saying he isn't a good player... just that he's not in the same league as those guys who ALL play for East Coast teams.

Rose and Dwayne Wade play different positions so it is hard to compare, but Rose isn't even in the top 3 at his position (point guard) so I couldn't compare him to (arguably) the 3rd best player on earth behind Kobe and Lebron. I love Rose but he is young and has a long ways to go before you can compare him to those guys.

Congrats on getting Boozer. He did good here in Utah. Keep him happy though, if not he'll throw a tantrum and threaten to run. :roll:
