Broussard: Wade/Bosh to Miami

[KornelDavid'sJ]

I've seen Miami when J O'Neal had big games, and that's all we're talking about with Bosh, he's not even a great defensive player or great rebounder. I'm not convinced Miami improved their team much at all.

Bosh is more athletic and not as physical. By the way, Bosh, who's that center you wanted to play next to? Joel Anthony?

Cheapdorf, if you are a Bulls fan, don't overpay for Lee or Boozer!!!

Please GOD NOOOO!!!


Let's suck for the next 2 seasons without hurting our future!!!

I'm sorry but I had to quote this. I just had to.

[Magilla_Gorilla]

If true this leaves Miami with about $17mil and 8 roster spots to fill ??????

Considering all the money still out there to spend on free agents, I find it a little hard to believe they'll be able to fill the remaining roster spots with any kind of decent quality.

I think its a little less that 17 million if both sign the max.

[BadMojo]

Bulls have to get Lee or Boozer right now. They need a PF and James has made up his mind (wherever that may be) since he's announcing it Thursday. Get one of them quick before they're off the market and we can go from there.

[Rerisen]

God, our board is just like the new york board right now, overreacting from all parts.

Except in an opposite way. NY thinks this means they have LeBron.

This.

Don't know why everybody panic, Miami with Bosh is still not a contender to anything.

Actual Bulls + Lee (or Boozer) + descent SG (Ray/Morrow or whatever) are still better.

[HoopsPro]

It all comes down to Lebron now: Will he pick the path of inertia, stagnation, Karl Malone. Or will he join the Bulls and build his true legacy.

While I continue to believe Miami will be Lebron's destination, I am now convinced that Lebron isn't coming to the Bulls no matter what. The key was where Bosh ended up. Had the Bulls received a commitment from Bosh, Lebron would have been tempted to join the Bulls. Not now.

Again, the only scenario that is truly demoralizing is if LeBron joins the 2 in Miami.

Any other scenario, including LeBron to NYK is not really that threatening. Nor is it a lock for the championship.

Let's not forget that we have 2 holes to fill in SG and PF and there are still starter quality players and in some cases all-stars available to fill these spots still.

We could load the bench and go back to hard nosed Bulls basketball.....or we could wait until 8:00 p.m. tomorrow. Either way we are still OK as long as the triumvirus does not happen in Miami.

Btw, I was always concerned with D-Wade; he is too slick and too fickle to be trusted.

[Magilla_Gorilla]

So does anyone think the FO overreacts and trades for a Al Jefferson? Or maybe takes on Brands contract to get Igoudala?

[6_Rings]

meh. this was expected since day 1.

and Lebron will just re-sign with the Cavs otherwise there will not be much fanfare/hoopla in a 1 hour ESPN special.

we the biggest losers of this 'sweepstakes'. Knicks at least got Amare.

Thank you, finally someone with a brain talks right here.

The most disturbing part of this report was that, according to Broussard, we're now behind the Knicks in the race for Lebron. I don't understand how that happened.

As for Wade and Bosh, it stings. I"m not going to lie. I told myself that I wouldn't get wrapped up in the hype, but I did.

[Bulls1983]

In all this charade the guy i blame most is Wade, i think that his "interest" in the Bulls kind off brought illusions to our FO, now we are chasing Lee or Boozer several days late.

We would have still been waiting on Bosh & Lebron regardless of what Wade did. He didn't slow them down from doing anything.

I really think it did, because form the start i think the FO had the same idea as us that Bosh would join Wade in Miami and we were gonna be left with one of the two Forwards and then go to Lebron it turns out that after Friday the all scenario changed, the FO got the illusion that they could pair Wade and Bosh in Chicago so they kind of left Boozer and Lee mind. There´s no doubt in my mind that if Wade didnt fooled us by now we would have Boozer or Lee under contract.

[keshmoney]

People need to calm down. Yea, Miami now has Bosh and Wade, but if we can get Allen + Boozer, I think we have one of the best starting lineups in the league.

Rose is a top 5 PG, Deng is a top 10 SF, and Noah is a top 7 Center. (All of whom are young and will get better)

If we can add a sharpshooter in Allen, a top 10 PF in Boozer, and some decent role players, we should be fine.

Only way Allen leaves here over staying in Boston is if he gets massively overpaid.

You're right. That's the way things have gone this off-season: people being overpaid. However, I think this is our best option at the 2. The next guy I'd go after is Mike Miller.

Honestly - they swapped lee for Amare. They improvd, but I don't know by how much.

If LeBron James goes to Miami, it will cause me to do something I never, ever thought I could do -- root for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.

eh lets just wait till thursday. we already have been waiting for so long.
and this Wade&Bosh to Miami is not out of the blue. I pretty much expected this to happen.
Just lock up Boozer and then call Lebron.

[HoopsPro]

Bulls have to get Lee or Boozer right now.

The market price for Lee and Boozer is about to go way up. I'm not sure the Bulls will be willing to offer either one of these guys a max contract.

[deputy]

I only have one thing to say to sum up my emotions right now:

FML


the Summer of David Lee continues for Bulls fans!!
