July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) What will the Bulls have lost? Hinrich's bad contract and maybe Deng's bad contract as well? Not much to lose. I agree 100%, the team as is wasn't going anywhere, so burn it all down and if it fails, being 10-72 might put you in a better position, certainly won't be worse.

July 2, 201015 yr You won't suck with Rose, Noah, Johnson, Gibson, and a few average free agents. You just won't win 50 games.

They weren't going to be contenders anytime soon if they stuck with what they had. They were stuck in NBA hell, a .500 team with mid 1st round picks. Not a good place to be.

July 2, 201015 yr They're definitely going to get someone. At worst, they'll get Boozer and Lee or something...that's still better than the team they ripped apart was...
July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) He's no big fish but I'd have no problems with David Lee. Um, who is the girl that was with him walking into the United Center, and where has she been all my life?

July 2, 201015 yr This article by far seems to have the most information of anything I have read... Wojo's Yahoo Article The Bulls are trying to line up a commitment from Wade prior to their formal presentation with James in Cleveland on Saturday, sources said. Chicago has a strong nucleus of young players, including Derrick Rose(notes) and Joakim Noah(notes), who with Wade and James would instantly turn the Bulls into a championship contender. Without Wade leaving Miami to join James elsewhere, league sources believe that the two players are most likely to re-sign with their respective teams, Miami and Cleveland. Still, Wade and free agent forward Chris Bosh(notes) are closely connected and even without James, Wade is considering a Chicago partnership with Bosh. With 29.9 million in cap space, Chicago could give two different players a five year, $87.6 million contract.
July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) Did Wade meet with the Bulls already tonight, or is it still to come? I think it is going on now, actually.
July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) Sabina Gadecki is her name Yeah, I've seen her on tv a few times. Her man isn't worth a max deal, but she definitely is. Edited July 2, 201015 yr by whitesoxfan101
July 2, 201015 yr Isn't David Lee horrendous defensively? I believe someone on ESPN said he was the worst defensive player in this FA crop.
July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Did Wade meet with the Bulls already tonight, or is it still to come? Meeting is over, they met for about an hour and 15 minutes. Meeting ended about 20 minutes ago I think. I'm hoping the Bulls have a committ from one of Wade/Bosh by the end of the night.
July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Comcast reported that Wade is meeting with Pat Riley next week. That's really bad news, yuck.

July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) That's really bad news, yuck. Who knows how updated it is. If it's true, then he's staying in Miami.
July 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:45 PM) Bulls meet with Bosh in about 15 minutes. Bulls are going to press him for an agreement tonight with James' meeting tomorrow.
