Owner Real Deal Posted February 9, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Technically, they are the best team in the East...but when you watch them, do you get the feeling this team needs to make a move to really solidify their spot as the top team? With everything considered, if you were the GM, would you make any realistic moves that would effect the starting lineup, or would you roll with what you have now and hope that the Rip Hamilton addition provides enough of a boost to get to the NBA Finals? Here are the numbers, if you're needing a quick link: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/2012.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 If you can make a clear upgrade to the team, ie add a legit superstar like Dwight Howard, then yeah. But otherwise no point in making a move just for the sake of making a move. You look at this team right now: 1st ranked offense, 3rd ranked defense, 1st in point differential and that's with your starting 5 playing only 98 minutes together all season.

ChosenOne Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I would try to ship Boozer and picks for an upgrade at PF. But if that's not possibly then nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ23 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The only team,that : A - Doesn't have a good record. B - Has a PF,good enough to be an upgrade over Boozer and C - Will MAYBE agree to a deal including an injury-prone, highly-paid player like C-Booz is Golden State,but it doesn't make any sense for them to trade David Lee,since he is playing awesome lately.

Nitro Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 If they can get a versatile, explosive scoring SG, then yes. Rip's body has been breaking down for a few years now, and he just isn't the same player he was a few years ago. I don't think the addition of him alone will put them over the Heat, who have more ammunition this around the Big 3 than they had last season. The Bulls need a SG who can stretch the defense as well as make plays off the dribble to take the pressure off Rose when things get tight in the 4th quarter of a playoff game. JR Smith would be a nice addition, as would OJ Mayo if he is still available. An explosive scoring guard like Terry, Lou Williams, Jamal Crawford, and similar players is exactly what they should be looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
