Any word on remaining roster slots?

[jcuuofd]

I'd bring Ronnie Brewer back just because he is another player that can guard Lebron James if Butler gets in foul trouble.

We're too hastingly suggesting Dunleavey as a moveable piece.

A good example of when relying on stats goes wrong.

you shouldn't rely on just one stat. It is a good example of that much. But Dunleavy IMO actually buckled down with some surprising on ball defense at times as the season wore on. I'm not surprised to see a stat indicating he wasn't killing the Bulls on defense because I don't think he did all the time...via eyeballs.

Used in situations where he could expend effort and succeed on defense thanks to Thibs. Boozer....can't really say the same with him, no matter what an individual stat says about him. The Bulls worked it out in spite of Boozer. MDJ did a little work on the other hand. So its about a compilation of things for me.

As an above poster said. Dunleavy wasn't a great defender, far from it, but he engaged his BBIQ and his effort into playing well enough on D to survive, with guys like Taj Gibson and Jimmy propping him up.

I see that Houston isn't going after Sessions and Thabeet may be cut. Wonder what's going on with FO here

our most reliable scoring option from the wing..

When Mike Dunleavy is your "most" reliable scoring option from the wing, you have problems.

Judging by the realgm.com homepage, Miroslav Radulijica should be sought after lol

Rumors like this make no sense to me:

We're going to improve our wing position by trading one of our better wings???

My guess is that they want a 3 point specialist who can actually hit 3's.

Problems that won't be fixed by trading Mike Dunleavey.

And your suggestion for who that would be would be who??

My main point here is that trading Mike Dunleavey most likely won't get us a player better than Mike Dunleavey. So why make Dunleavey available?

Depends on who he is being traded for.

Believe it or not butler was our highest scoring wing.

Someone get on the phone with Darius Miles, maybe he can help us out here.

Yea I know but he qualified his comment by saying "reliable." Jimmy's scoring last season wouldn't fit that term.

We're too hastingly suggesting Dunleavey as a moveable piece.

A good example of when relying on stats goes wrong.

The old, I only like stats when they support my view post. Got it.

I don't think Dunleavey is the team's best defender. But he's our best proven shooter, our most reliable scoring option from the wing. He's tall, he has a high basketball i.q. (not just saying that cause he's white) and is a year familiar with Thibs' system.

If you don't think Dunleavy is the team's best defender, then you disagree with the stats as well. So your point about Red is a bit hypocritical and a bit absurd. And unfortunately your claim that Dunleavy is not a moveable piece comes across as silly. He's a 34 year old guy who's been injured during long chucks of the season for like half his career, his PER stinks, he's always been a step too slow, and his defense has been passable but nothing to write home about. He's also an expiring. We got him at $3 mil per season last year for a reason. Please don't be a typical sheep Bulls fan who buys into whatever scrubs the organization throws our way and thinks the scrubs should be in the core, too. There is nothing in Dunleavy's resume to suggest he's an immoveable piece. He's been 7th / 8th man fodder for quite some time now, and the future will only slow him down further.

Once again, the only point I've been trying to get across here is my doubt that moving Dunleavey returns a player equal to or better than Dunleavey for this team.

From the WT, I see Nazr is meeting with the Heat. I'm surprised the Bulls apparently are not interested in re-signing him. Strong teammate and a vet who won't mind limited minutes. I know he's not very good, but, let's face it, the pickings are pretty slim at this point.

Maybe they actually want someone on the bench who could actually play if we ever wanted him to. Nazr only provided his body and maybe they aren't going to be content with that.

While I think that the Bulls might trade if there is something that makes sense, I don't think they're in any hurry to fill that 13th roster spot. If no advantageous trade presents itself and all of their key players stay healthy, I'd guess that they'd sign someone to an unguaranteed deal just to be in compliance with the 13 signed players rule.

Etwan moore isn't a bull (yet) right?
