Not trying to rag on Micah because I hope he makes it up here eventually, but I don't think we win this series without Carlos/boni at 2b

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) His ceiling IMO is solid starter. I can easily see him having a 10 year career with 15-25 war. His glove will play. If he can hit 270/300/380, in today's game that's a fine 2B. I am not banking on his future, but he's first sox prospect tO hit his way up in a long time.

Good god we cannot get lift ever with men on third less than 2 outs

CARLOS! Pretty good for a utility ceiling

Oh well. Still got a run.

Get it in the air Avi.

Wow. What a start

That was incredible!

I'm also glad his bizarre defensive drop off seems over

Most surprised to see Adams as reliever and Danish as starter.

So relieved this team performed against a weak schedule. Would love to get to .500

QUOTE (scs787 @ May 15, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) He's got a bad track record, but he's also had some bad teams. I like that he's coached under Dantoni and Kerr, so I'm assuming he would emplement a faster pace, which is what I really want to see them do. Reading LMA and Wes Matthews wanna be a package deal. Somehow trade Noah and Taj, sign those 2 guys, end scene. I liked what he did for the Suns teams until they became terrible. I wonder how he'll deal with the anti-suns training staff.

Really happy to be pulling people from DEN/BAL for scouting talent more than NO.

2018 doesn't seem quite so far away anymore re: Rose contract and the skyrocketing cap. But - Bulls really need more guards, cannot stress that enough. It's awesome we have a true player in Jimmy, but our guard depth was terrible.

Good luck Carlos. You've earned your shot.

So, alvin Gentry thoughts?

basketball, man.

I don't fear noah being here forever as long as his next deal is closer to 3 for 24

Watched Locke last night. It was pretty good, but only for what it was. It ended and I was like "holy hell, the dude is literally just talking on a car phone the whole time".

Okay so not May then, just the portion of may you'd like to highlight.

I wanted Micah on roster. Micah showed great promise with bat on an otherwise struggling horrible offense. Micah was truly horrible on defense, on a team with a struggling horrible offense. Micah now gets to go down knowing he can hack it offensively (which is much better than most of our prospects) but needs to work on footwork. I'm pleased with that situation.

Yeah, i'd prefer we roll with Niko. Love doesn't have great injury history and no thanks to more of that.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 15, 2015 -> 11:35 AM) There's nothing much the Bulls can do. They're still under the tax, so they'll get the MLE. So they can maybe pick up another veteran for $5 million a year. One way to free up salary is to somehow trade Joakim Noah. But after how he played in the playoffs, what contending team would go after him? His best asset is an expiring $13.5 million contract. Even then, the salary cap is jumping almost $30 million next year anyhow. Guys you can possibly sign for a MLE: Lou Williams, Wesley Matthews, Thaddeus Young, Danny Green, Aaron Afflalo, Marco Belinelli, Gerald Green. The Bulls' biggest hole is SF/SG. They need a guy who can spread the floor. Afflalo, Matthews, or Green would make sense. Honestly, just need guards plural SF is a position you can get away with smaller size now, so just get best guards available. Allows flexibility with 2 pg lineups, 3 guard lineups with jimmy at 4 taj at 5. But can't do that with 5'6" point guards and effing hinrich as our only backup

I imagine taj's value took a major hit this year. Last year he looked great after Wiz series.

Agreed. Need a young backup point guard, preferably with length. Tired of small PGs who get totally exposed in playoffs (miss nate robinson). Need McDermott to be a player. Spacing still atrocious. Not sure we really have an elite 1-on-1 player. No one really able to collapse prssure in pocket to get open 3 looks. Need way to much movement from the shooters to get them open. Missing on McDermott will be really upsetting, those 2 picks would have been great. Things bulls need: - To stop sucking - More athleticism (like crazy) - Backup PG cheap for 3 years - More athleticism - More athleticism - Better 3 pt shooting
