Mirotic Signs with Bulls

[purguy12]

Well its not official but Mirotic Camp has said that he is coming to the US and the Bulls. Bulls have agreed to the buy out. THey just have to work on a contract. With this signing and our draft I think we added some good shooters to this roster.

This should end all Pau Gasol talk. Mirotic will back up Gibson.

Only thing left is signing Melo. I don't it will happen but I hope it does. I think Bulls Plan C or D is Lance at SG. That would move Butler to SF. A team that looks like this isn't bad

C- Noah
PF- Gibson
SF-Butler
SG-Lance
PG- Rose

Bench

Mirotic
DJ
McDurmott
Randolph
Hinrich
MDJ

dont really think lance is a fit anywhere, but I do believe Butler is a true 3 who can play the 2, so McDermott being first off the bench usually or Mirotic when its a big with foul trouble sounds better to me than gutting this team.

Bottom line, bulls need offense.

McDermott, Mirotic, Gibson for Boozer, but a veteran 2 would do more for me than Carmello.

Remember, the bulls can only give 500k to the buyout, the other 2 million is out of Mirotics pocket, so he is gonna cost 5 or 6 this year.

If we've given up on Melo, I say front load mirotics contract, sign a few tradable contracts for shooters and maybe a scorer off of the bench. Go into the season trying to trade for love.

This front office is terrible at getting free agents. Well go into the season looking strong at the beginning, but then thibs will run our players into the ground, Rose will injure himself again, well limp into the playoffs and lose early, then the front office will strike out on free agents next year, rinse and repeat. This is getting old. Atleast we aren't pursuing Deng again.

I agree we suck at FA signings. I don't get how they get it wrong. Chitown is a great city, good marketing city, Has history, great coach, good players and a new practice facility.

It should be the one of the easiest places to recruit a FA. Pax and Fore are just bad. I think they try to be to business like in these recruits. If Melo does come it will be because of Noah.

As stupid as it is IMO, the Jordan legacy scares some guys off.

They need Melo to compete for a ship, they need more offense.

Augustin is a free agent, isn't he going to want more than the Bulls can offer (thinking he's going to want the MLE if Meeks and Bradley got overpaid) since they don't have a ton of cap room and Reisdorf is well-known for being a tightwad?

I think a lot of that is due to Reinsdorf.

Hinrich is also a free agent, you think they bring back both Augustin and him?

That is what shocked me about the boozer amnesty. They could do worse than having boozer sit on the bench next year.

This still isn't official yet, but i'm sure it will be soon. He's been a beast over there, hopefully he is over here for us as well.

They had to Amnesty him if they wanted to try and get better.

Guys, we could march an all white line up out onto the floor. That line up would be insane at shooting.

However, I'm not entirely sure well hang onto MDJ.

 

[anotheridiot]

still not official with the amnesty. I am sure their minds are gonna change when Melo says no. They are still trying to trade him for expiring contracts, but if they dont sign a superstar, my bet is Boozer is still on this team..

 

[podsox]

bulls cant get free agents because of the weather imo. people keep looking for reasons. it is really that simple.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

He still hasn't signed yet. He's close though.

 

[anotheridiot]

I still wonder what will happen with boozer, still no superstar, still no official amnesty.

Unless we can get a superstar, he's staying. Reinsdorf doesn't want to pay an extra 16.5 mil just to amnesty him. It sucks cuz I think he is really holding us back.

 

[purguy12]

we are about to sign Mirotic. Also word has it we are close to trading Boozer for Gasol. Melo is out. Bulls are starting to move forward.

 

[purguy12]

3 years 17 mill.

Wow this front court is stacked. Noah, Gasol, Gibson, Mirotic and Randolph.
