I don't think the Bulls are getting Love, but it will be nice knowing they helped force the Cave into potentially offering more. Personally, I would have mixed feelings if it took Mirotic, Shooty McNickname and Taj to get a guy who might not even resign and if he does will break the bank.

Right now the Bulls are 10 deep and actually did a good job addressing some areas of need this offseason. Thibs won't have to have a 7 man rotation and grind players into dust during the regular season with this squad. I wanna see this team play.

Plus, trading two white guys for one white guy doesn't fit the FO's #seewhite narrative this offseason.....

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about them going after Love. I don't think an LBJ-Kyrie-Love Cavs team beats them in a seven game series if both teams are healthy anyways.

For what it's worth, if I were Cleveland I'd give up Kyrie in the Love deal before I gave up Wiggins. I see no way Kyrie is effective playing alongside LBJ (not to mention he's already got a reputation as being a crappy teammate). Wiggins, on the other hand, I could see turning into a Scottie Pippen-type player under LBJ's tutelage. His offensive game may take a few years, but he should be a high impact defensive player pretty quickly. Him and LBJ could wreak havoc on the defensive end together.

Kyrie is so overrated. Not the max contract player everyone seems to think he is...

Yeah, Coach K, Boehiem and Colangalo all saying how great he looks. How great would it be if Rose came back strong in the face of all the haters? I've had a co worker calling him a selfish bum for two years now...

I'm very hesitantly excited about this upcoming season. I take so much shit for being a Bulls whenever I'm down here.

All the fools that said Irving and Wall were better than Rose..... :shake: He is physically back, no doubt about it. Now he just needs to stay healthy and get games in.
