This is just hypothetical of course.

 

something to think about, a premier sidekick is one thing New York can not provide. Chicago could, if Rose continues to improve.

Why isn't there a 0 option.

this poll is only for people who are realistic. 0 is not an option for obvious reasons.

Yeah that's not realistic at all.

How long are their contracts?

 

10+ years apparently

At Lebron's age then, I'll go 6. Some years someone will be off or hurt. And I think they'll start wearing out at around the same point KG is currently at...31 or 32.

Let's just say we just keep re-signing them.

 

 

Don't worry about cap space, we would just go over the luxury tax if they are both locked in. Old vets like Vince Carter, Tmac come and go but take enormous pay cut's for a final chance at rings. (kind of like the NE Pats)

I can agree with that

This is the greatest pipedream of all time. It's not gonna happen, i would love to see it happen.

You never know, a month or so ago people would've said Jay Cutler to the Bears was a pipe dream.

The only difference is Jay Cutler didn't have a choice where he went, LeBron James most likely will. He seems pretty set on either staying in Cleveland or going to New York though.

It's not likely to happen, but it's not inconceivable, either. It's not like Chicago is some tiny market, it's one of the biggest basketball markets in the country.

 

Getting Bosh is much more plausible, but I mean you never know. If the cap space is there... hey, money is money.

I wasn't trying to bash Chicago's market, just that LeBron has pretty much had a love affair with New York and I think as a free agent would go there. They could have the cap space, but its not like they would have a higher offer than New Yorks.

 

I think there is a chance, although a small one. I still think hes New York bound though.

I don't disagree. I just don't think Lebron to Chicago is a complete pipe dream, either.

I'd choose 0, but 1 is the closest option and that is realistic. Both guys need the ball in their hands to be of good use. Both need shooters around them to open up the lanes. A guy like LeBron would benefit more from shooters as would Derrick Rose. Shooter first, slasher second are the type of guys they need. With each other, they would just be taking turns going one on one and it would be tough for them to play off each other.

I don't follow basketball all that much, just a casual fan who'll keep tabs on the bulls once in a while.... what are the chances that the Bulls do make a big play for Lebron and actually get him?

0% as it currently stands. They have Luol's big contract, Kirk is still on the books and they are in desperate need of a big man. Luol would have to play great next year so they could trade him off for expirings, and then they could go after LeBron while having a position for him and still being able to go after a big man.

 

You're more likely to see Amare or Bosh here.

It's not just Luol that they can clear out.

 

They can move Hinrich for expirings and still compete for a 2010 Free Agent

 

 

 

I'm sure they'll do everything they can to get Chris Bosh via trade this offseason. Perhaps a sign-and-trade.

I've heard that Hinrich to Minn, and Deng to Portland are the ideal scenarios for the Bulls. God, knows if they would bite though, maybe if Portland gets outsted early this year, they'll be moved to action.

Luol will be hard to clear out. He has about 60 million guaranteed left. They would have to trade him before the end of next year as well as Hinrich to have a position and enough cap room to go after LeBron and a big man. A big man is much more needed. If you can get LeBron, you go after him, but at the same time, you're taking the ball out of Rose's hands and putting it in LeBron's which isn't bad, but Rose stinks as an off guard.

And putting LeBron James on the Bulls right now is realistic?

Yeah but it's not realistic.

 

And come on people, so far 8 people think 10 championships if this were to happen? Are you kidding me? If LeBron was on the team they'd win at least a championship, how many I don't know, but other teams would start doing the same thing and you'd see for example Kobe, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard etc. being with the Lakers.
