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.
Coaches coming back and getting hired
The two head coaches of the teams in the NBA finals are going to return.
Phil Jackson has decided he wants to come back to the Los Angeles Lakers to attempt to win another championship. This would mean Jackson would have 12 rings and four three-peats. It is never happened in the NBA. I love Jackson and am glad he isn’t succumbing to his injuries.
Bulls Hire Thibodeau for the Head Coaching vacancy
On Saturday afternoon, the Bulls made claim to Tom Thibodeau as their head coach for the 2010-2011 season. I say claim, because the Bulls can’t make it official until after the NBA finals because of the rules Commissioner David Stern strongly stands behind.
Either way, the Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau has been hired by the Chicago Bulls to replace Vinny Del Negro.
Boozer opposes the Jordan theory
The free agency period hasn’t started yet, but there sure is plenty of talk about it, especially for the Chicago Bulls. They have the funds to pursue and sign any of the big three free agents: Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James.
Wade has been reported to question the loyalty of the Bull’s management. Joakim Noah and Lindsay Hunter have been quoted in the media saying Lebron should come to Chicago. Bosh has listed Chicago as one of his five destinations he would like to play for next year.
A Veteran Who Happens to be a Great Shooter
Throughout the top ten summer free agent options for the Bulls, I have preached about two Chicago needs: shooting and leadership. At number 5, Ray Allen would be perfect for both needs.
When a conversation about the best three point shooter in the history of the NBA is started they’re a few names always mentioned: Ex-Bull Steve Kerr (has the best career three point shooting percentage), Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, Larry Bird, Mark Price and Ray Allen.
