Thats right over the past 5 years the Bulls and Knicks have won nothing. And Thats with your MVP. They will never beat Miami without out another scorer NEVER…. The Bulls matchup well with us cause we dont like physical play. But we Matchup well with Miami. And save me that you won 3 games this year crap. How that work out against Miami the past 2 years? Not well. What you do in the Regular season has no effect in the post season. You guys beat Miami 3 out of 4 than got waxed in 5 games so please STFU Bulls fans.

But… but… Knick fans like to think they know something about basketball and winning.
Don’t let reality spoil their dream.

Comments like this is why it’s fun being a Bulls fan in NYC. The Knicks did absolutely NOTHING last year except get bounced by Miami. The Knicks have more “stars” and what did that get them??? This year they’re finally playing defense & playing like a team and have looked better but they still CAN’T beat the Bulls! The Bulls have maybe the best team chemistry in the, they play defense better than any other team & they’ll be getting a league MVP back… They don’t need to make any moves! Let’s Go Bulls

The only reason a big name wouldnt want to come to Chicago , they don’t want to play 2nd fiddle to Rose. Don’t worry the Bulls don’t want anybody off the knicks including Melo , the Bulls own them this year!

I love the Bulls as they are. People just talk of dumping players when they are all playing so hard.. And winning!! What else you want from a team??

No big name wants to come to Chicago. When ever these Big name players become FAs not one ever adds Chicago to the list of teams the want to play for. The Bulls gotta get another guy to take the pressure off Rose. 2nd Bulls fans trip me out for 2 years you think people want ya’ll scrubs for stars. Boozer NOBODY outside the Bulls would pay him that much to play for them. Deng is the best player you can trade and get anything. Noah is a decent 5 in a league where the 5 is virtually becoming none existing. He values very little with no offensive ability. Taj is the most overrated player on the team. If he ever gets put in the starting lineup he will become a straight bum. Hes good for The role he plays but he can’t start in the NBA consistently and they just gave him what 9 mill a year. CRAZY you give a replacable guy 9 mill a year. Nobody will take that contract. Everyone else is bums on that team nobody wants…. I hope Rose comes back and plays well. He us a modern day Allen Iverson…

Dengs contract is up after next year ago no need to move him yet. Let Butler improve and prove him self now. Reason for amnestying Boozer is its the last chance to and gives the Bulls more options including avoiding the tax. Even if they strike out in 14, Love might work in 15.

Not even drunk? I didn’t think they would fire their head coach, then replace him with a coach who needs big men to RUN the floor. Nobody wants Boozer? The Bulls need Boozer. He is the inside presence they need opposite Noah. Taj is a very good young player. However, he doesn’t have the offensive skills needed to compliment Noah…yet….

@dadawg,

I’m not so sure why most people think the Bulls are automatically going to amnesty Boozer next season. If they are thinking this far ahead then they need to trade Deng NOW! I doubt that will happen, since, they had a chance to get Kobe and felt Deng was too valuable then. Most people also say they are going after a big name. Look how that panned out with Boozer. I then ask WHO will be this big name? Most free agents ( minus Lebron ) stay with their team for more $$$$. When 2014 comes around Boozer may be the best option once again.

The Lakers would never do that. Not even drunk. Nobody wants Boozer.

I think Pau and Noah would work well together as Pau works well with his brother. As for 2 starters for one bench player, Kirk/Rich will be on the bench when Rose comes back so can’t really say two strarters. Gasol on the bench because the Lakers forcing D’Antoni system which can’t handle two bigs. This would be classic sell high move on the Bulls part.

Major win in this trade for the Bulls escaping from having to amnesty Boozer this off season. Look at the Bulls roster, and you realized it’s setup to add big name in 2014-15 off season as they only have Rose, Noah, Gibson, maybe Butler replacing Deng and cheap rookie contracts on the books. Thus, I really don’t think Boozer is apart of that vision, his contract would prevent them from getting a name in 14 and this is the last year to amnesty so he will be this off-season. Since Gasol’s contract ends after next year, the Bulls would get an extra year of production for the same amount of cash.

So since I think Gasol is better then he is showing in LA and makes the 2013-14 Bulls stronger, I would make the move.

I cant wait to see Rose back! He is one of the more exciting players in the league. I think alot of people forget he is one of the better PG around. He also isnt a douchebag. One of the smallest players that can force himself around the rim. Hope to see him 100% healthy and on the court soon.

The current team is getting lot more than expected from the assets it has. Don’t mess with it!

Also, 2 starters for a bench player?

By: charlescub80

charlescub80 — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:02:12 +0000

No, Gasol doesn’t fit with either of these teams.

dadawg77 — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:44:21 +0000

Boozer and rip/kirk for pau gasol
