Rosters are starting to take shape
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have found a home. Now everyone else is starting to put their John Hancock on the dotted line. The domino effect ESPN columnists and Dan Patrick have spoke about, is finally happening.
Rosters are starting to take shape, especially for the Chicago Bulls. They traded away Tyrus Thomas, John Salmons and Kirk Hinrich for expiring contracts that are now off the books and future draft picks. The Bulls are starting to build the roster and our only six days into the free agent signing period.
Boozer and Korver are officially signed. Yesterday, the Bulls signed 7 ft center Omer Asik from Turkey. Asik was originally drafted by the Portland Trailblazers in 2008, but was immediately traded to the Bulls. He has been developing for the past two years in Euroleague play. Chicago needs a big man who can defend a Dwight Howard or a Pau Gasol. Asik looks long and lengthy but is a great shot blocker. Maybe he will defend with intimidation as his best aspect; that’s what Ben Wallace did. Scouts seem to think he has solid NBA skills.
Bulls didn’t sign LeBron, but they’re building a team
On Thursday, I said the front office should be fired for not landing one of the big free agents: Chris Bosh, LeBron James or Dwyane Wade. I apologize to the Bulls and to readers for blogging with my heart on my shirt sleeve.
The Bulls didn’t get one of the three big named free agents and the three players signing to another eastern conference team like the Miami Heat was discouraging but I have been awaken by the same people for the discouragement.
Kerr dominates Paxson in poll
Last week when Steve Kerr resigned as the general manager of the Phoenix Suns,because he wasn’t going to get rehired, I pondered the idea of Kerr coming back to Chicago to replace John Paxson as the Bull’s Vice President of Basketball Operations.
I asked the question to you, who would be a better for the Bulls, Kerr or Paxson. Kerr dominated Paxson, getting 36 of the 52 votes. I wonder if Kerr would beat Gar Forman, like he did Paxson.
Top Ten Free Agent Options for the Chicago Bulls Recap
For the past three or four weeks, Bullshome.com has listed the top ten free agent options for the Chicago Bulls. It has been fun. Many have complained about the choice for number one and number two, but I am sticking to my opinion. Since the countdown took so long to go through, it is only right for a recap.
10 Two Way Tie Between- Rudy Gay and John Salmons
Salmons was traded away by the Bulls at the February trade deadline in order to dump off contracts. He went to Milwaukee and helped them earn a six seed in the playoffs. Before he came they were on the outside looking in. Rudy Gay is a young talented player with limited leadership skills. Gay is on the verge of becoming a superstar but needs to play on a team besides the Memphis Grizzlies where he is the main attraction, because he shouldn’t be on any team. Both players are respectable second options and great role players.
Two tie for Number Ten Option In Free Agency
This will be the only tie during the ten part series. The tie is between the current Memphis Grizzly Rudy Gay who is a restricted free agency and ex-Bull and current Milwaukee Buck John Salmon who can get out of his contract with a player option.
