But hey, I won't bet my championship hopes on Rose's knees and Anthony will be doing that if he forces his way to Chicago.
It does not seem to be a wise move, especailly after being stuck with Amare for 2 seasons.
If I'm Anthony, I opt in and wait for 2015 FA where there will be many more options and everything will be clearer for him, regarding the Bulls and Rose, Houston, LeBron or even LA, and of course the Knicks situation.
Could the Knicks get LeBron in 2015 if LeBron does the same move as Carmelo, opt in?
Doesn't sound bad as a strategy.
I don't think Thibs is a bad offensive coach. He has to play the players he has. Loul Deng, John Lucas, DJ, and Nate have enjoyed their best years under Thibs. Hell, he designed an offensive system built around Joakim Noah! Joakim Noah, a guy who can't post up and can barely hit a shot looked like Vlade Divac last year. The only guys who look better outside of Chicago were Korver and Marco. And Marco just looks better because he is on the Spurs.
When Rose was healthy, we had the #5 and #11 offense. Last year Joakim Noah as the center piece of our offense. I don't think Thibs gets enough credit for playing to his players strengths.
I thought it was interesting- Marco barely played in the finals.
That's the difference between the Bulls and Spurs. One of our greatest ball-handlers could barely get on the court for the Spurs.
