    That's the key. I don't think Bosh will go there unless he wants to team with LeBron.

    Hopefully it's this:
    Wade-Miami
    LeBron-Chicago
    Bosh- Houston

    That would make for some good rivalries.

    Yeah, but would he have gone to Toronto if had the choice? Besides, not necessarily saying he'd make the decision because of the weather, just trying to argue against the statement that Chicago is a more attractive place to live.

    Gets too cold. I kinda enjoy sweating all the time. Even in winter. ;)

    Delusions of Grandeur hyped up by the media. The sexy pick shall we say. They have Derrick Rose.

    I don't think Rose is better than a healthy Yao.

    I think he definitely is in a few years, guys a stud, flat out. Bosh will not just be looking at now, but also future, which is probably an area the bulls have over us, and especially when comparing the 2 teams respective franchise players

    Rose over the next few years will continue to get better than anyone we currently have. But we have also shown to be more than willing to make big moves to keep the team as competitive as possible so while Martin and Scola probably wont be any better than they are now, AB and Ariza should continue to get better. And we should be able to convince anyone that we can and will make whatever moves necessary to put the best team we can out on the floor.

    And obviously if they get LBJ they immediately are better than us, but they still aren't very deep and dont have the recent history of making moves like we do (read: they dont have morey).

    I think our best chance is if Miami gets Wade to stay, and Cleveland gets Bron to stay, that makes us the best chance to win now.

    Not to mention the Rockets play in the West, while the Bulls are in the Leastern Conference.

    Chicago isnt better without Yao. How are they better with Yao on our side? They dont have enough to win a championship with just Bosh on that team. We do adding Bosh.

    Just want to add that Chicago had a 41 and 41 record playing in the east. If they were a western conference team you could subtract at least 5 wins.

    Not during basketball season...winter in Chicago is brutal and Houston during those months is perfect.
