Bulls Might Not Be Done Yet!!!

[boogydown]

Moore appears to be getting attention "Around the League". The Bulls never get the guys they want it seems.

I think a lot of these leaks are put out by agents to increase the value of their guy

Bulls were probably not interested in most of the players they are rumored to be interested in

Since teams dont say "we dont want that player" publically, the agents can pull that stunt

I agree.

Moore was officially waived yesterday. If he clears waivers and the Bulls are indeed interested per reports I think we hear something this weekend. You'd assume it would be a pretty easy signing since we only have the veteran minimum to offer and reports are Moore wants the Bulls.

I'm really hoping he is who we get.

When does Moore officially clear waivers?

I want to say 48 hours but that's me just guessing.

I shot Sam Smith a email asking him about E'Twaun Moore and the PG spot. He replied saying this:

think they want a veteran point

First name that popped in my head was Derek Fisher. My source told me Robinson, Moore, Beverley and Fisher were the targets last week.

[BoozerRoNo]

If your sources are right yeah its either Robinson or Fisher. I hope its Robinson or T-Mac.

Hmmm a vetern point guard maybe Iverson I kid.

Hmm... That could be an interesting/intriguing one.. Thibs does have experience with lil Nate from the 2010 Celtics team so that could work out.. Nate was pretty damn good during the 2010 Celtics Playoff run too..

Shoulda just claimed him off waivers. It'd mean a guaranteed contract for the year, but he merits it.

UPDATE: The Chicago Bulls have been in contact with the agent of Tracy McGrady on a constant these past few days. McGrady is still interested in joining the Bulls and they Bulls would like to add him also. Let's see what happens.

The Bulls from what I've heard are actually looking for a player that could play multiple positions whether is PG, SG, or SF and the only player that fits that bill is T-Mac. The Bulls are exploring every option possible to fill out the roster. They also have there eyes on Moore and Thomas ( who is looking around for better deals).

Yea I been saying that for a while. No chance the bulls have two back up pg and neither have truly run an nba team and one used to play sg exclusively. Both Moore and Teague are rookies basically. As a scorer tho, Moore is pretty good so I'd still look at him.

I think them working out Rafer Alston and calling fisher is an indication of who they are seeking out.

I don't think tmac is a legitimate target or that he will be a bull. He isn't a pg or a big which is our biggest needs and can't hold anyone anymore, and we don't have minutes for him. He won't be happy playing behind Marco or jimmy.

Mike James type players seem like the best fits.

[bearadonisdna]

Tmac was getting 16 mins per game in Atl aound wasnt happy about it. If he even got 16 mpg on the bulls id be surprised.

[MisterRoy]

Maybe the acquisition of TMac would ease the departure of Hamilton?

[greenwing]

I'd be very happy with a McGrady acquisition. At least the guy can handle the ball and create his own shot. Personality aside, he's a good fit for this squad that lacks playmakers.

[Tetlak]

Maybe the acquisition of TMac would ease the departure of Hamilton?

I think this would be almost ideal. Rip is going to be gone after this season no matter what, and if we are going to compete for a title at all this year, we won't be getting as much out of Rose as we usually do. Getting Tmac, a guy who could make plays with Rose would be beneficial. I think a team of Rose Belinelli TMac Deng Taj/Noah could be a very good lineup, particularly when matching up vs The Heat. Also, for the time period when Kirk is our starter, we would need a playmaker, because the Captain sure as hell ain't one. With Tmac we'd be a strictly halfcourt team, which isn't ideal with our defense, but I think the positives would outweigh that negative.

[biggestbullsfan]

No one wants Rip. We tried and failed. We cant even dump him. He will be a Bull at least until the deadline.

[boogydown]

Sam Smith maybe right on a Veteran PG but we already have Vets. This team needs balance.

Lots of rumors with McGrady all over the place now.

Thibs seldom plays rookies

he'll be lobbying to acquire vets

[BuffaloBull]

I kinda get the McGrady interest. He's definitely not what he was, but at this stage of his career, what he can do is really run a pick and roll.

Thibs was a defensive coach in Hou with JVG when T-mac was down there, so they have history together, and I doubt the FO would bring T-mac without his explicit blessing. Especially if you don't end up getting Thomas to sign, there will be a need for a bigger player and maybe T-mac would help there. And at least by the +/- numbers he graded out as a very good defender last year for houston.

[Three34]

This "Thibs rarely plays rookies" thing doesn't wash with me. Who wasn't he playing enough?

Moore isn't a rookie though.
