    With the right signings, trades, and moves made...if James came to Chicago, I think you'd have a great chance at being a top contender once again.

    The first step was sending Del Negro on his way -- that just wasn't working out.

    I see Rondo developing into even more of an elite player in years to come. Now if he could only get his free-throw shooting down. :shock:

    :lol: ... yeah ... he killed me in the FT% cat a few times this year ... but he's got a decent jump shot that he's getting more confident with and that should translate into more FTs being made ...

    He's also got that floater that he's getting down quite well. I swear that thing could get over even the hands of Shawn Bradley (if he still played.. ;) )

    all they would need is James...and a few 3 point shooters. a bigger 2 guard would be nice, but not a requirement.

    i was on the fire Del Negro bandwagon early in the season, but at the end, with what he had to work with (trading 2 of his top 8 players for chumps) and all the injuries, i thought he did a nice job. I would have let him coach out his contract.

    Considering that I don't follow the Bulls at all, I'm sure you're knowledge is more solid and supportive. I'll take your word that Del Negro did the best he could with what he was dealt. Too bad he went out on a bad note though with the management?

    I'm a Celtics fan for sure, but in the West my team has been Phoenix, and Utah for a while now. Since Utah took a flop as usual, I've got a lot of love for the Suns and hope that they can make us all happy and kick the Lakers to the curb.

    I'm rooting for the Suns as well in the west. (overall go C's though) But it makes me wonder what a successful run in the playoffs will do to Amares chances of staying around? I'd like to see him move, but now I don't think he has as much reason to. I like all the hype of the offseason moves and what not.

    amare is overrated ... his post moves are average at best ... he scores a lot of easy baskets off the pick n roll with nash who executes it to perfection ... both him and bosh are not guys who are gonna win championships on their own without a partner in crime ... i suppose everyone needs a wingman ... but neither bosh or amare are the main guys ...

    Steve Nash could get anyone to score off his pick n' roll. Like you said, he executes it to perfection.

    I completely agree (but I think Bosh is more overrated than Amare. Hell, I would have looked good playing for the Raptors.)

    Kinda reminded me of Nick Andersen circa 1995 Finals. Can't hit a free throw when you need it.

    Finally someone who thinks Bosh is Overrated. I live in Toronto and the way that the media talks about him you would think he has made it past a 1st round. he is a decent player but no where near what people say about him.

    i live in toronto too and if you read the comments on the star ... most people feel that way ... there isn't a huge campaign like there is in cleveland for bosh to stay here ... he's not gonna be the guy to take us to the promise land ...

    what we need is a point guard ...
