Think about it guys... the Bulls were the top team last year, and some even thought of them as the favorites to come out of the east (i never did though). Now, the bulls have not made any huge moves, and they have actually got a little worse, with derrick rose not being 100% (although it remains to be seen how he will be after coming back from that injury), Luol Deng is also a little banged up, they are paying Boozer big bucks and he is not playing well, and they (might) lose their bright young back up center in Omer Asik. Lets see what the other teams in the eastern conference have done: Heat- added ray allen, 'nuf said. Celtics- added Jason Terry, drafted Jared Sullinger, Fab Melo, might be getting Courtney Lee soon Nets- resigned DWill, got Joe Johnson, got gerald wallace(last trade deadline) The bulls went from the best team in the east, to now the 3rd, if not 4th best team. Rose must be furious with the lack of moves the bulls have made, do you agree?
I completely agree. However, Rose is very competitive, and his current team has no chance at beating boston or miami.
They aren't going to add anything this year. I think Rose will be done for the entire year (ACLs take 9-12 months to fully recover). I don't see any reason for Rose to rush it either. He may show up if they make the playoffs, but that is about it. He has to be hoping though they add pieces when he makes it back in the 2013-2014 season.
Rose is the biggest problem, because Chicago thinks he is next Jordan. Doesn't have any game outside 5 feet, is constantly missing clutch free throws and end up taking 6 three pointers per game.
He cant really be upset. He could have the best supporting cast ever, but if he's injured, they'll lose. No sense in him being pissed about hypotheticals.
Never really saw the bulls as the best team in the east to begin with. Your season record means absolutely nothing.
Exactly. Rose won't be a 100% in 2012-13, and if he is, chances are it'll be too late for them to get a good seed in an already competitive top 4. The Heat, Pacers, Celtics and Nets may be locks if Rose misses more than 60 games.
Switch Chris Paul and Rose. Bulls would be legit conteder with Miami and OKC, Clippers would struggle to make playoffs. Bulls are going to be just fine, they are regular season fraud with Rose.
Ohhhh now he's pissed? Not when he went out during the playoffs, not when he found out he was out for a year, but now...
Maybe he is okay with not having another superstar on his team...like a real competitor and not the b****es that are in the league now
Paul is best pure point guard, ridiculously efficent scorer especially for a guard and one of he most clutch players in NBA. Clippers didn't make playoffs with Gordon instead of Paul last year. Gordon and Rose...not that big difference.
