Bulls' Future Line-up

[ReturnofJPR]

Once Rose comes back:

PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: Luol Deng
PF: Carlos Boozer
C: Joakim Noah

Bulls are already holding teams, like Atlanta, to 59 points. With that line up, nobody will score on them.

Key Bench:

PF: Taj Gibson
PG: Nate Robinson
SF: Marco Bellinelli
SG: RIP Hamilton
PG: Kirk Hinrich

[UtahJazzFan88]

Nate would be better suited off the bench than Hinrich IMO.

[DirkNowitzki41]

:bowdown:

Can't wait till Rose comes back.

Not hating here, but IMO you shouldn't expect too much from Rose so soon. After the injury who knows how his D will be? Give him time

Just let the man freaking rest, let him recover this year.

Me, Noah and company got this :pimp:

Also future **** you to Go Better if he enters this thread.

I hope he recovers well, just saying it seems people expect him to come back as if he'd never been injured.

Yeah I hear you. It will just be inspirational to have our Leader back on the court, more energy you know

[andremiller07]

PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: Luol Deng
PF: Carlos Boozer
C: Joakim Noah


The Butler meet a girl he tried to Boozer (Booze her) he didn't even Noah (know her) and she was like Deng how quickly his D Rose.

But being serious this season Noah has become one of my top 5 players, I just love everything he brings and passion/fight he shows.

nice:oldlol:

[97 bulls]

Im hoping for an eventual lineup of

Rose
Butler
Deng
Love
Noah

Mirotic
Gibson

and fill in the blanks

[TylerOO]

LeBron will still eat them alive.

[SilkkTheShocker]

That's cute.

[TheWINdyCity]

That's cute.


good to know that you're both so insecure about rose coming back :cheers:

[gasolina]

Nice to see the Bulls doin good. Nobody saw them playing this well especially with their offseason.

Obviously Butler's been nice, and what's surprising is this guy has no fear. Doesn't matter if he's an unheralded 2nd year player, he's taking the shot when it's there and locking down people while at it.

Another one is Belinelli. 1 minute to go down by 6? Has the balls to hit back to back threes.

Hope they do well in the playoffs. Too bad the Heat are still a matchup nightmare for them. Maybe Boozer can cover battier on D so Deng/Butler can focus on Lebron/Wade?

I'd be all for it if it means the Boozer troll will stop his dumbass spiel.

I dont know if Jimmy has the outside shooting you'd want in a starting SG yet though.

future repped

[Bigsmoke]

Boozer finally woke up

[Kurosawa0]

Starting to feel like the Bulls are still the 2nd best team in the East. New York, Brooklyn and Indy are all nice, but I'm thinking we're getting a Chicago vs. Miami ECF.

Probably. Hope Rose comes back healthy, plays a 1995 Jordan-esque last 15 - 17 games of the season to transition himself back.

He gives them an extra dimension and gear teams won't know how to react to .. maybe he even further improved elements of his game.

I'd like to see another Chicago v.s. Miami series. Not that I think we can win, but we can make it rough. And we all know how Wade plays poorly against his hometown. Wouldn't bet against a post 2012 LeBron though (best player since Mike)

[ReturnofJPR]

Butler has been averaging 19ppg starting for the injured Belinelli. Chicago has their starting 2 guard for next season already on the roster. No need to look elsewhere.

Deng on Bron, Butler on an old Wade, Noah on Bosh

Bulls own the Heat

[ConanRulesNBC]

Next season when Rose finally does return I hope they look a little different. I want Boozer gone and for them to really go after OJ Mayo. They need to fix up their bench a little bit. I'd love to see them keep Hinrich. He needs to retire a Bull.

I want to see a starting lineup of:

Noah
Taj
Deng
Mayo
Rose

6th man:

Hinrich

It is still, however, irrelevant.

fun fact, butler and rose are the same age.

Hawks lose tonight and Chi plays Mia 2nd round buddy. Hawks want to lose tonight...

That said, a healthy top 4 in the East next year will be sick. Heat, Bulls roster outlined in the OP, Knicks healthy and restocked (hopefully with younger/more durable bigs) after another year of gelling (we need to keep JR!), and a Brooklyn team that has had the obligatory year of gelling... some scary teams right there. Better, IMO, than next years Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, and Nuggets barring major trades (hypothetical i know). Not to mention Pacers and Celtics vs Grizz and Houston/GS.

It'll be good to get some real playoff competition and hopefully, fiery regular season rivalry. Solidarity in the Beastern Conference!



that said, **** you guys

All the Bulls have to do is win. They have the tie breaker over Hotlanta. Chicago won the season series 2-1.

Thought thread was going to be about Mirotic.......

Mayo is a loser and Boozer basically held the team together most games this season.

This. Plus Hinrich has been a waste of space this year.....why keep him for sentimental value? Smh....you hate Booz, but love Hirnrich? Doesn't make much sense.

[nightprowler10]

This. Plus Hinrich has been a waste of space this year.
...What?

[Go Getter]

...What?
I like Kirk personally but to be honest he has been under performing.

FG-38%
PPG-7.5
APG-5.2

His numbers are down all across the board, plus after losing a step he isn't the same pesky defender.

At his price I'm thinking we can get a more dynamic combo guard to pair with Rose. Mainly though, I'm confused as how people think getting rid of Boozer (a good producer of rebounds and points) is a good idea, yet getting rid of Hinrich is a bad idea.

We need scoring, and Hinrich struggles to hit OPEN shots.
