LOL, you mean Noah/Melo.

Rose is washed up.

[thedangerouskitchen]

There is a very good chance Melo comes to the Bulls... he loves Thibs (and Thibs is reportedly very fond of Melo) so you KNOW Anthony will become the team/defensive player he'll need to be in Chicago.

Rose
Butler
Melo
Gibson (averaging 19/9 as a starter this year)
Noah
Mirotic


Are you kidding me???

WoW... !!

Melo makes the Bulls a 1 and done in the playoffs.

Where is the money going to come from to pay for his Max salary?

Amnestying Boozer frees up 15 million. Not sure where the rest is coming from.

Melo may take a pay cut to play for a contender as well but who knows?

They can't even if they amnesty Boozer, ergo:

But the OP thought the Bulls traded Deng for Bynum to use him as a player and not to waive him for the cap relief.

Only Bulls fans would think adding someone who hasn't won shit turns them into an instant champion.

[Sudanese Sensation]

Only Bulls fans would think they can repeal the laws of NBA economics and adding someone who hasn't won shit turns them into an instant champion.

FIXED

mirotic is gonna cost a minimum of 6 million dollars to being over from Europe. That leaves 9 million left.

Thanks for being one of the sane ones. His salary demands + Rose's deal will cripple your franchise if there was even the slight plausibility you could afford him. If I'm not mistaken Melo has yet to sign a max deal, and there's no amnestying in the world the Bulls could make to max him.

That leave $9 million to sign Melo and replace Boozer...

I don't think that will work.

[Havlicekstealsit]

You also have to consider how much Melo would leave on the table if he walks away from the Knicks, as well as how his ball-dominating iso game fits in Thibs' system. Remember, he wouldn't change for D'Antoni.

Bulls are going to need to do something. They need a franchise player now that theirs is done. Melo will stay in NY or be in LA though. Not a huge fan of Melo on the Lakers, but those are my predictions.
