Doubtful if true, but would be a nice pickup. 27 years old and can shoot and create...

Yea maybe the chance to start/play heavier minutes would be attractive to him

Overpay Noah and Lin, there's your offseason.

He isn't coming here for 3m/yr.

Priority #1 should be a two way SF who can shoot

Priority #2 should probably be Noah

Priority #3 should be backup PG


Who is that SF though? It's slim pickings.



Kent Bazemore.


Bazemore - Larry Sanders the return! - Dewayne Dedmon or Tarik Black - Re-sign Moore - Dump Dunleavy at some point if you can

Not sexy but:

Rose/Moore
Butler/Holiday/Snell
Bazemore/McDermott
Gibson/Mirotic/Portis
Sanders/Felicio/Dedmon

Plus the #14 pick (Valentine at PG in a Livingston esque mold?)

Center position would be a huge wildcard, but we can't solve every issue this off-season.

Bazemore/Lin would be amazing additions to the alleged Hoiball

Lin wouldn't be a bad option but if he opts out he will want more money then the 4.5 he's making now. Is it worth paying maybe double that to sign a back up? Rose is a scorer first type of point guard,as is Lin , I would prefer the back up to be a good defender and be able to run the offense(kind of what Kirk did).If Lin is available tho and is not asking too much ,ofcourse Bulls should look at him.

Not really a Bulls kind of move.

They'll likely try and get Kirk back here, or see what John Lucas is up to.

Certain clickbait sites should just be banned from threads. Like this garbage one.

Jeremy Lin's got a good thing going in Charlotte and MJ has the cash to make his life a little better if need be.

But who knows? Overpay a guy enough and he might go to a bad team. Our new reality... :nonono:

I'm going to lock this up now. As I said on the first page, not a credible source.

I assume it means a paycut relative to what he will get offered by other teams this off-season.

Return to Chicago Bulls
