Also, if there's 1 piece missing on this Bulls roster (other than a competent starting SG), it's a 2nd scorer who can drive or create his own shot. Right now, Rose is the creator and the only one. I love the Bench Mob, but there is a reason CJ Watson is a backup. He settles for a lot of outside shots and he ins't necessarily a sniper from out there.
A guy like Jamal Crawford, Ben Gordon or Jason Terry would do wonders for the Bulls.
And obviously I'm looking forward quite a bit, but those 2 late 1st round picks could be extremely valuable either with picking players or as trade chips. I'd love to be able to get a Nolan Smith, but I don't think he'll last that long. Then again, it could be possible to trade up.
I'd try and package CJ, Bogans/Pargo/Lucas, and a pick for Kirk.
Bring him back, start him at the 2 and have him be backup point. Under Thibs, he'd be good defensively as always, takes pressure off Rose for ball handling, and can still shoot the 3 (.371 next to Rose starting last year, .399 this year next to Wall and Joe Johnson).
Rotation becomes this:
Rose(38)/Hinrich(10)
Hinrich(15)/Brewer(20)/Korver(13)
Deng(38)/Korver(10)
Boozer(30)/Gibson(18)
Noah(36)/Asik(12)
Use the 30th/28th pick on a sharpshooter and call it a day.
