I would love a Rose/Wade backcourt. I believe that despite their similarity, the right coach could find an offense that would score in bunches on a daily basis. I could see Rose and Wade both averaging 20+ ppg each and 15-20 assts a night between the 2. However, this would take an offensive genius. VDN is not that. I suppose if the Bulls were willing to get a real coach, this might be a great idea. However, I don’t think that will happen anytime soon. Even the dumbest coaches would have a heard time screwing up Rose Bosh. Although if Vinny refuses to space the floor on pick and rolls, he could screw that up too I suppose. Besides, the inside-outside balance would be great.

I watched some of those games and depending on the night and matchups. Isaiah would be more of a SG and Dumars would run the offense and vice versa and it changed depending on who was on the court.

I have seen Wade and Rose come off of screens and shoot and I have seen Rose get a pass and shoot open Jumpers. Rose also plays very well off of the ball as he will cut to the basket.

It would be an unguardable backcourt. Deng would flourish as well as Noah and with Wade we would have someone who would get calls from refs and Wade could be like Jordan and Rose would be like Pippen.

Both being from Chicago would make it even sweeter. They can work out the ball handling issues as they learn to play off of each other.

Is the better player, so Wade it is. Bosh is great, but he’ll never be in Wade’s league, and Wade’s explosiveness makes him so deadly and opens up looks for everyone else (and the Bulls have talent in many spots that could work well if a guy is getting left to cover Wade, i.e. Tyrus).

Rose is explosive, Wade’s more explosive, nobody could stop the 2 of them, and their similar athletic games, would make the Bulls a force to reckon with. Hell we could play Aaron Gray 40 minutes a game and still win because on the other end we’d be unbelievable and Wade is a good defender to boot (much much better than yfbb thinks, and he’s a great help defender—sometimes to a fault).

Bosh is a nice option would definitely help us, but he’s not a banger inside, and well he’s not nearly as explosive or as big a leader as D. Wade….

In the NBA you go for talent first, and in my mind there may be 1 more talented than Wade (Lebron) but none are currently better than Wade….

It will make us a championship contender immediately. We cannot win a championship (or more) without a consistent low-post threat – with the added bonus that Bosh can stretch the floor with his shooting.

I love D-Wade and would love to see him on this team. However, I think we go after Bosh first – preferably this summer, but definitely by the trade deadline. Then, if that’s successful, there may be some other players in the 2010 free agent class that might come our way.

Chris Wade?

I like cars!!!!!!!!! Can I drive? I’ve only crashed into my garage twice!!!!

There are only a handful of true superstars currently in the NBA right now (LBJ, Kobe, Paul, Dwight Howard, Wade, and an ageing Tim Duncan) than can carry an entire franchise on their back.

I like Chris Bosh but I think he’s more of a complimentary star. He has post moves but is too skinny to play against the big dogs in the post. He often settles for the jumper when frustrated (instead of attacking the rim) and his defense is average at best.

While Bosh would complement Rose nicely and gives us a big man we desperately need, he isn’t the game changer that Wade is. And unlike a Melo/Iverson combo, both guys are extremely unselfish with the ball and should have no problems coexisting if the Bulls could add a 3 point gunner at the SF spot.

So let me start off by saying I created this account about a month ago and the user name was reactionary to one of VDN many bad games…

My view of the Wade/Bosh argument is that Wade is obviously the superior talent but the complexity of an offense with Wade and Rose to work to it’s maximum potential, while possibly awesome is beyond Vinny’s comprehension. So the obvious changes would need to occur before I would feel comfortable with getting Wade.

Bosh on the other hand is a much easier piece for Vinny to plug in. Also I have not followed Bosh as much as Wade, since he is banished to Canada, but lets not discount the fact that is is a top 5 NBA center who would supply the desperately needed inside scoring threat the bulls need.

If Bosh is indeed available this summer or next year everyone except Rose and Noah should be available along with any future pick for the next five years(not sure you can trade picks that far out but it’s a testament to the faith I have in the bulls picking in the middle of the first round)

The Bulls desperately need that second superstar to take the pressure off Rose and Vinny’s hairdresser to constantly perform to perfection. And since no one can guarantee Wade will want to come here, I think they have already started talking to him in Miami about a knew deal too, if we can get Bosh we have to do it and take it from there after next season…

Hope I made a few legit points and love the blog!

The big decision is either to go for it and risk ending up with Ron Mercer, like Sam Smith likes to stay.

But this is gonna be scary to have almost 70% of your offense coming from the backcourt. That and it would mean Deng’s on the way out as a team with both Wade AND Rose driving to the basket needs people to kick the ball out to, not cutters like Lu. A Bowen or Battier type to hit the open jumpers and lock down the other team’s best offensive threat would go great with Wade and a real coach.

Also, I am not sold on Bosh’s ability. We don’t see enough of him and considering the lack of dependable big men in the East, even Magloire was an all-star.

But either way, I don’t really care because any talent coming in is fine in my book.

but I didn’t think Wade or Bosh was a possibility to acquire this offseason??

our starting 5 can be Deng at Center, Wade at PF, Hinrich at SF, Gordon at SG and Rose at PG

You know the old saying.

The Bulls have made strides in chemistry this year and should try to keep this team more or less together for a while to see what develops.

The add-a-star move has a way of falling flat. Look at the Magic when they had Shaq, Scott, Grant, etc. Did not work out. Or the Lakers with Shaq and Kobe, it did work for a while but there was an inevitable chem explosion. I remember the Blazers after Allen first bought the team. For a while they had guys like Pippen, Schrempf, Steve Smith, (all big names) and Damon Stoudamire (still highly touted at that time). They flopped. Dallas after Cuban first bougtht the team, same deal. He was snapping up every big-name guy he could. Likewise Isaiah’s Knicks.

An NBA contender has to grow organically. It cannot be pieced together frankenstein style. Of course there is the Celtics, but keep in mind that Allen, Pierce & Garnett were all good passers with better-than-avg. assists at their position. I thought when they put those 3 together that they would do well, and I recall that many were skeptical at the time.

DWWWWWAAAAAAAAANNNNYYYNNNNNEEE!
WWWWAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDEE!

Hes in my fav 5 too!

I don’t consider Bosh a Wade, and I don’t want Wade. I think Wade’s best years will be gone by the time he gets here. Bulls will be getting his shell. I think Paxson will be smart and not make a move that’s not worth it.
