WT- Nate unlikely to be back (WAIT! + instagram pic pg 81!)

Another thing, I wonder if Rose is pushing for Nate to come back and if that would make the Bulls do it. Reggie's main concern is having someone who can let Rose play off ball some, taking pressure off of him.

Idc wth Reggie wants, the team isn't built for a guy's brother.

I do hope Nate returns cause he'd help Rose but his size is worrisome still.

Rose is 6'4 and bulked up, he should be fine covering some 2's. When Kirk and Robinson play, same goes for Kirk.

You play Miami and have Robinson, Rose, Butler, Deng and Noah close it out, that's pretty damn awesome. Who does LBJ check, Rose or Nate? The other is going to score.

This is actually true?

Honestly I thought Kirk and Nate played really well towards the end of the season. When they were on the floor together they always seemed to be effective. Kirk would take the harder defensive assignment of the two guards, set up the offense, and let Nate just focus on just doing his thing. I thought they made a great pair. That being said I'd love to see him back. But even if he doesn't I think Teague is going to surprise some people this year (maybe one more year he's still really young).

He was 6'3 when he came in and I thought his boyfriend Bucher said he grew a inch. Even if he is still 6'3, that is still decent and he bulked up.

You're making me grin like an idiot.

That's a great 1-2 punch if Nate can play at the same level..but with Rose on the floor or Kirk handling the ball..can Nate still play like he did? That's the question mark for me.

Didn't Bucher say that with implication that Rose's core is stronger thus he looks a bit taller? I can't actually believe he grew in at his age..

Derrick and the Bulls want Rose off ball more when he comes back. Also Nate is a deadly 3 point shooter, He shot 40 last year and he takes tough ones. Allow him to spot up, oh my

Then u ask if Rose can be Rose off the ball? He's no SG.

People want to ignore it but he's a good passer & floor general.

[fleet]

Never been a fan of midget back courts. And we don't need Nate to play with Rose for Rose to be off the ball. He can play off the ball with Kirk or Teague ar any other PG who plays like a traditional PG. Nate is not a great guy to run the offense. This does not seem like great rationale to resign Nate to me. More solid Rationale for resiging Nate consists of not having somebody to come off the bench who can make shots.

*cue the Jerry West pic* and let the debate again.

Why must life be so hard?

[kdapiton]

I LOVE Pasta-Belli. But, I would be willing to let him go if it means more PT for Snell. I honestly would go with that "gamble." Obviously there's a chance that Snell could go Teague on us. But I want to see him just get involve in the rotation early on if it means that he could grow into the good shooter/long defender potential that we see in him.

Given of course that Thibs is willing to play Snell.

they played great together, they are both good three points shooters so they spaced the floor pretty well, i would like that combo as our second unit it could be deadly, if only we drafted Dieng,
bench mob 3.0 Nate Kirk Jimmy/Deng could Taj Dieng could have been amazing defensively like bench mob1.0 with better offense, or little worse defensively but still with better offense, i wonder who would we sign for our backup big!

I heard he's 6'6 now.

[Ctownbulls]

A Butler-Deng-Boozer-Noah starting lineup, while awesome, puts too much pressure on Derrick to create.

Especially coming off an acl tear...he needs help an a number #2 scorer

You don't win titles with 1 scoring option...plain and simple

Eric Gordon for Deng just makes way too much sense for both teams, especially if the Tyreke signing goes through.

Have the knicks not used there mmle yet? are they connected to any strong rumors of them using it on someone else?
