Bosh is really overrated.
Let us put things in perspective here. Scottie Pippen once led a Jordan-less team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and 1 bs call away from the NBA Finals. Chris Bosh has led the Raptors to the lottery land in the past five years. There is no comparison.
I will buy the argument that LBJ could have MJ impact. However, Derrick Rose is still a couple of years in development away from being Gary Payton. Gary Payton was a shut down defender. If Derrick Rose can improve this part of his game into an elite level, we might have a discussion.
Bron, Bosh & Rose = MJ, Pip & Payton (PER)

Thanks for the prediction Miss. Cleo. We have as good a chance as anybody else to get it. Though it might be improbable, we can't call it impossible. NY has the cap space, but for anyone that wants to contend from now throughout the next decade, they can't offer that.
I'm just saying look at how many big time free agents signed with other teams? It doesn't happen often at all. Who have the bulls landed since The Jordan era ended? There biggest names are Ben Wallace and Jalen Rose. There good but not elite Superstars. And we were rumored to get Duncan, Hill, T-Mac, Glenn Rice, Eddie Jones. They cleared cap space before and could not land anyone. I'm just saying based on history, not just Bulls history how many big named free agents switched teams? Only one I can think of off top of head has been Shaq leaving Orlando going to Lakers. So I'm just saying I'll be extremely happy if we land Lebron or Bosh. If we land them both I'll appologise to this site and the Bulls front office!! If we land Lebron and lets say Amare I'll do the same thing. Heck Lebron and anyone higer than a mid level same thing! I'm just trying not to get too excited and have a huge let down.

While the odds of us landing Bosh and LeBron are fairly low, they're not in the too small to discuss category. The thing is if you land one of them, it probably greatly increases the odds of landing the other. However, LeBron/Bosh probably work that out before signing with any team.
