Fernandez a good fit?
“Sources close to the subject” say, the Chicago Bulls are interested in free agent Rudy Fernandez.
This brings a lot of speculation.
Bulls officially fail…LeBron has chosen the Heat
After countless months of “where will LeBron go” coverage on ESPN and every other media outlet, LeBron has finally let the world know where he is going to play next year.
The answer is…the Miami Heat. James is going to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form a super team. This big three is better than any other star combination in the league. I believe they can win at least four championships. The question now is, who will Pat Riley to play with the super team. We will find out the answer to that later this summer.
Introduction to the Top 10 Summer Free Agent Options for the Chicago Bulls
The next 10 posts are going to be the Bulls Home rundown of the top free agent options for the Chicago Bulls.
Chicago has six players on the books for next season: Luol Deng, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Kirk Hinrich and James Johnson. They are allowed to have 15, so there is room for nine more players.
The NBA projects next year’s salary cap to be $56.1 million. Chicago only has $33.6 million spent, meaning they have $22.5 mill to go shopping with.
James too much for the Bulls
The Bulls played a solid game. I couldn’t ask for more from them. Lebron James was just too much for the Bulls, as the Cavs took game two, 112-102.
Three players scored more than 20 points. Joakim Noah scored 25, Derrick Rose 23 and Luol Deng 20. Instead of getting killed by 12 rebounds, they grabbed one more than the Cavs 37-36. Including 13 offensive rebounds, seven of which were grabbed by Noah.
Gibson optimistic in Bull’s shopping free agents
The Bulls have made financial and roster decisions that let us know they will be shopping the summer’s free agent market very hard.
John Salmons and Tyrus Thomas were traded for five expiring contracts and a first round draft pick. Plus four preexisting contracts will be expiring as well, including, Brad Miller, the over paid and never played Jerome James, the down and out Lindsey Hunter and Tim Thomas.
The only contracts on Chicago’s pay roll next year is the young talented nucleus of Deng, Rose, Hinrich, Noah, Gibson and Johnson.
The question is, what position will the Bulls shop for? I am hoping for a big man. Noah and Gibson have done their thing all season long, but it will not get them far in the post season if nobody else is added. The Chicago Tribune asked Taj Gibson if he was cool with being a number two forward; he said not a problem.
