if people are taking it as a given that LBJ can shut Rose off at will, you basically need a second Derrick Rose then, right? Seriously. Are people saying that a Nate Robinson is going to carry the team to a title as Rose cries in a corner with Lebron hovering over him menacingly?
Any guess on who this top 5 player is and how the Bulls can get him?

Edit add: Don't get me wrong here. I'm pissed. I think the Bulls are fools to hang their hats on a 2014 plan that will get them nothing. I love Nate in his role and want him back. That said, I wanted him running the offense when Derrick is on the bench so that the team doesn't score 0 points every time the starters go out. It never struck me that Nate is going to be your primary scoring option late in playoff teams against the Heat.
