Official offseason trades/signings thread.

[QUOTE=ljsbb27]I also like Courtney Lee's game, but I also agree that he's not the piece we need to bring a championship to Chicago. Would he be an upgrade? Absolutely. He would fit in very nicely with our core and give us some of what we need but he wouldn't take us to the top.

We need a guy who can play almost as good defensively, but give us some more versatility offensively. A guy who can create off the dribbe for himself and also provide the team with some playmaking. I wouldn't be entirely upset if Courtney Lee was our starter at the beginning of the season (whenever that is) but it would require the rest of our roster coming back having much improved their individual games and the coaching staff coming into the new season with an extended playbook.

That is all very well possiblem, but we would increase our chances if we acquired a guy that can give us more overall than Courtney Lee.

I expect D.Rose to come back even better next season.
I expect our SG position to be upgraded regardless of who is brought in.
I expect Deng to stay consistent, but get more rest and be better.
I expect Boozer to stay the same but be more included offensively.
I expect Noah to bring same energy and hopefully more offensive moves.

I expect the coaching staff to have a playbook with more substance and with plays to better fit our players.

I expect the bench to have even more depth and give us another great year.

Calculating all those factors and simplifying what I think we can accomplish...I like our chances. We made it to the ECF this year.
Taking into consideration where i'm pretty sure we will imrove along with the idea that the front office knows they need to get us a SG we will be contenders again with a higher chance of winning it all.[/QUOTE]


It's been extremely quite around here lately.
Has there not been any updates or news?
Or are people just not posting for whatever reason?

Only thing I've read lately was that DRose has been hard at work for most of the offseason. He took a short bit of time off for himself, but then got right to work. Has played in some exhibition/summer games and has been on a promotional tour for Addidas.

In regards to his game he's still been working on his 3-point shot, perfecting his mid-range game, and has also been working on his post-game alot. He's also been lifting weights... something he says he hasn't done much of since high school.

Any news on the rest of the guys?

Deng playing for Great Britain...
Noah playing for France...

I want this lockout to be over

When I made this I was really hoping by now we would be getting ready for preseason to start and the Bulls would have traded for a shooting guard or pulled off some amazing trade and gotten Dwight Howard. :cry:

Hopefully they can make a deal. IF they do then atleast we won't have to wait that long to find out what players we will add because signings will be happening right way.
