Would Bulls fans trade Derrick Rose for LeBron James if they had the chance?

Props, Bulls fans. You all have a true superstar leader, who only wants to win and not chase fame.

Do you all realize what you have or would you be enticed to have the Queen on your tram in place of Rose?

Fans might not. Team would in a second.

NO... just no... all-star yes... superstar no....

as far as this question goes..... ARE YOU STUPID? ofcourse they wouldnt trade away derrick rose???? they are well to over his nuts right now..... but a GM would trade away that whole ****ing team for Lebron..........

When you all learn James is not a leader and puts up empty stats? I learned he hard way.

Bulls > Heat

So why would they trade Rose for James again?

First of all, fans don't trade players.. GMs/executives do..

anyway.. to answer it..

For pride, I think they wouldn't.. but they'd might eventually give in.. I think Rose is a great player.. and he's the MVP this season.. but we all know LeBron (though he underachieved this year in terms of being the leader) is the better player..

you might think otherwise because of your dislike to LeBron.. but you know in the back of your mind that he is...

Yeah, because lebron = championships. :rolleyes:

Unless you care about PER or having as many players as possible who speak in third-person, I'm not understanding why you would trade Rose for James.

James has been exposed this year, homie.

Fact.

Now its to the point you have to factor age + potential, and that's if you need to go that far to validate not making a deal that shouldn't be done from the get go.

The Bulls are better than the Heat so that only justifies not making an idiotic trade like Rose for James.

Stop focusing on fantasy basketball stats and watch the games. Rose has turned it up this year. His competitive drive is already more evident than at any point of James career.

It wouldn't make sense to trade Lebron for Rose straight up. Rose fits much better on the bulls team and he's 4 years younger.

Any trade would have to be Deng and Rose for Lebron and a guard. I don't think the Bulls would ever consider that.

What good is Deng and Lebron on the same team?

Why would we? Bulls > Heat. Rose is our superstar. Home town hero. Rookie of the Year, 2x All Star, and about to be the league MVP in his 3rd season.

Nope. Management wouldn't either.

to me that PER is bullsh[I]i[/I]t.

if they're both unknowns and we all know don't know their personality whatsoever except how they play... it's a general consensus.. LeBron will be picked first..

Slashing, athleticism, scoring ability, passing, defense, aggressiveness.. all that.. they have that..

BUT..

Bron is bigger.. thus making you create more mismatches.. He's bigger and stronger than SFs and he's faster than PFs..

We dislike LeBron (yes, it includes me, a heat fan) because of the personality.. the conceitedness, cockiness, the stereotype a-hole..
But it's outside of basketball..

All that super talent, great PER rating has gotten LBJ quite a few rings eh?

The fans want winners. Rose might have inferior stats, but he's a winner. And you'll see this postseason.

just last summer, Bulls were courting Lebron, so :confusedshrug:

[QUOTE=Harion]just last summer, Bulls were courting Lebron, so :confusedshrug[/QUOTE]
but not with the intent to deal rose.

Until lebron proves he is a winner why would they?

[QUOTE=jasonresno]All that super talent, great PER rating has gotten LBJ quite a few rings eh?[/QUOTE]

that's why I said it's BS..

it depends on how much you value intangibles i guess. Rose seems to have them in spades.

In terms of talent, its Lebron clearly.. but you really do have to think very hard before pulling off a trade like this. There's a lot of posters on here that question Lebron's character at 26 years old and yet.. almost everyone on here [B]knows[/B] what Rose is all about.

Just to play devil's advocate though.. Lebron was playing like this in his breakout season in 2009. I have never seen him as focused since that season. So, if the Bulls lose this year, how will Rose respond? Will he keep charging at full speed like this year or will he take a step back?

If the Bulls don't make it to the Finals this year, they'll win the next three. That's the kind of player Rose is.

Well with the fact that Lebron can run point. The team would do it right away. That's the scary part. I'm glad that my fellow fans wouldn't.

[QUOTE=All Net]Until lebron proves he is a winner why would they?[/QUOTE]

how the hell has rose proven his a winner?

[QUOTE=asdf1990]how the hell has rose proven his a winner?[/QUOTE]

He hasn't.

And i still LOL at the idea that Lebron hasn't proven he's a winner. Look what he did in Cleveland. He turned a 17 win team into a finals team, the team that came closest to beating the future champs in 08, and then two back to back 60 plus win seasons.

All while not having a good 2nd option or a quality team.

No superstar perimeter player has ever won anything with a team comparable to those Cavs.

Only Hakeem and Duncan have won titles with comparable talent. Thats it.

lol wtf? they dont win this year but thy will win the next three lol.

change ur name to joyner. jr

This is like asking if you would trade Wade for Kobe in 06..

Wade was the up and coming superstar and Kobe is THE SUPERSTAR.. but was still under criticism.. and hasn't proven anything individually.. in terms of winning.


I know you would bring up Kobe's 3 rings at that time..

But him and LeBron had diff. situations.. with all due respect to Kobe..

No..... not a chance.

And this question was posed to Bulls fans on the Bulls board back when Lebron was a free agent. The question asked, "would you trade DRose for Lebron straight up". And overwhelmingly the response was "NO". And from what I recall, that sentiment was unanimous - not a single person wanted that trade.

Quite simply: Drose is a winner.

Rose has has won big at every level. Dude won 4 grade school championships, a HS freshman championship and then "back to back" state championships in HS. Then took Memphis to the championship game. And now what he is doing for the Bulls speaks for itself.

Bron is a great player but no, we keep Rose.

...

Rose.


Lebron is not the right fit for Chicago ( the organization and the city).

[QUOTE=All Net]Until lebron proves he is a winner why would they?[/QUOTE]

Ditto. + Rose is younger

i love the double standard, lebron has 3 hs state titles, his led his team to the nba finals but supposedly his not a winner, while mr. rose led his team to a championship game in the ncaa and he is a winner. lets not act like lebron hasn't done what rose is doing with a crappier roster.

[QUOTE=Harion]just last summer, Bulls were courting Lebron, so :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]:facepalm

Yeah, to pair him up WITH Rose, not replace Rose.

fuclk no, Rose has a killer instict, hes clutch, winner, team player, humble, younger.

LeBrons a choker, loser, weak mentality, stat padder :hammerhead:

NCAA Finals > NBA Finals apparently.

rose is clearly a winner and lebron isnt. because you know how lebrons been to the finals and all and rose hasnt gotten out of the first round. clearly hes just more of a winner.

so yeah, defs rose because hes a winner...

Not a bulls fan, but I wouldn't trade a rising superstar for a proven playoff choker.

People saying LBJ hasn't won shit, neither has Rose :confusedshrug: James has lead a VERY weak team out of an admittedly weak East, Rose [B]might[/B] get out of the East with a far stronger team.

well lebron to me is the best basketball player in the world [B]today [/B]but come on man stop saying the guy's a winner,

What happened to the unwaivering confidence of the bandwagon Heat fans? Weren't they supposed to win, not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7etc...NBA Championships.
