List of 2010 free agents (start choosing)

PrintI know it’s too early for the great summer of 2010. There’s a full season ahead of that. But I think we could start choosing who do we want most and what others players we should persue in the case of the first two - I hope the Bulls have enough money to sign two max free agents to play with Rose and Noah - end up elsewhere.
Now, here is a list of players who are going to be/might be free agents in 2010. From that list, I would clearly focus my attention in signing Wade and Bosh. I really don’t care much about LeBron. He can go to the Big Apple or wherever he wants, because the Bulls would be almost unbeatable with a core of Rose/Wade/Bosh.
But since there’s a chance we don’t get anyone of those Big Three (LeBron/Wade/Bosh), I think we would be ok with Manu/Johnson and Amare/Boozer/Nowitzki. They are older than the top three, but maybe they could also help Rose get ring.
What are your thoughts?

Surprisingly, my first thought is "what's all the fuss about"
After the big three and Joe Johnson the choices go down hill real fast. Look at the centers for example. As little as I know about Asik, I’d rather take my chances with him. It looks to me that the best way to get a player we might want would be to trade expiring contracts to a team that wants/needs cap relief-for someone like Chandler. Do I want Chandler? I’m not sure; I’m just saying. That and trying to trade for potentially high draft picks, which are usually protected for some number of years.
After missing out on the really good players, the Bulls sign
Raja Bell and bring back Brad Miller.

don't be so pessimistic
there’s still a chance Ron Mercer could come out of retirement
Ben Wallace and Larry Hughes will be 2010 free agents!

You are always the optimist lol I think the Bulls have one player in mind and that is Bosh.
Wade, Bosh and Johnson
Not having Gordon opens up the possibility for Wade and Joe Johnson. If we cannot get Wade I like Joe Johnson. Ideal is both Bosh and Wade. I have a hunch that Atlanta is not going to have a good year which may open February trade possibilities for Johnson.
VDN could put Joe Johnson, James Johnson, Linton Johnson III, Tyrus Thomas and Tim Thomas all on the floor at once.
And Neil Funk would explode.

I'd be happy to walk away with
Joe Johnson and Amare. I like how they fit with Rose, as they don’t need to have the ball in their hands all of the time to be effective.
agreed...
I’m really thinking Joe Johnson is a better fit with Rose than anyone else thats available. Obviously Wade is the better/more talented player, all things equal and assuming interest from both players then we need to decide if Wade is that much more talented than JJ to discount JJ’s fit (if that makes sense)
The difference between Amare or Bosh doesn’t matter all that much to me. Adding a big time 4 is what we need and either one of these guys will do.
If all they end up with is Joe Johnson after all this
I’ll laugh my ass off.
The Chicago Bulls.....the more profitable Los Angeles Clippers.
Indeed, but if he's the guy you're doling out 75-80 million dollars to
That’s a bad bad bad signing.

like the Bulls would pay that much for Joe Johnson
we’ll hear ’he’s not a true star who deserves that money’ so they’ll just sign someone worse.

Here is link for the Bulls future salaries:
i dont get why
we arent pursuing david lee?
i mean its not written in gold that were gonna get bosh..
David Lee
He is a restricted FA made 1.7 mil last year…I read Knicks would sign and trade him…but I cannot find what he would want as a contract….I wonder if the Knicks would sign and trade him for Deng :) We solve two problems a. Deng’s uncertainabilty and cap space
That would be
Awesome a sign and trade for Deng…
Then get iverson
Rose
Iverson
Salmons
Lee/Tyrus
Noah
Please
no more Iverson to Chicago talk. I will turn in my goggles and retire my fandom.

Lee wants 10 mil but will probably get 7-9 unless OKC starts to show more interest. Rumors had them wanting to offer 7 or something in that range but that they did not offer it b/c they knew NYK would match. Just rumors, but it all makes some sense. Every other rumor I’ve read has OKC not showing much interest. Portland already has Oden and Pryzbilla, so I don’t think they are that interested in Lee. Not many other teams have the money, Detroit already signed BG and Villenueva, Toronto is getting Turk…
Sign and trade doesn’t sound too bad. Something like Tyrus, a pick and expiring to get Lee and Chandler, or Lee for expiring contracts would seem attractive to me. Otherwise, we can’t just outright sign Lee without going into the luxury tax, something we all know won’t happen.
A.I. ?
I am not sure about A.I. wearing a Bulls uniform
David Lee
Lee is looking for 9-10 mil a year ….yeah right ….I do not want him wearing a Bulls uniform….I think Tyrus blocked more shots last week than Lee has his whole career
Lee is a good rebounder sure, but he does want 10 mill…his stats are inflated from the D’Antoni system. A good role player but not a true difference maker.
I love Ben too but Johnson is much better. Ben is a better shooter but Johnson can still score and is multi-dimensional…a tad overrated but a complete SG.
We need 2 players a SG and a PF from 2010
Wade or Johnson and Amare or Bosh, any combination would be key to be actual title contenders.
I’m sure we’ll only end up getting one player, most likely Johnson by himself.
Faizamaze’s proposed lineup is total booty…yuck….
Fuck u lol
booty?
i was a lineup for 2009-2010
but you guys have to bein so sure that were even gonna get bosh OR wade forget AND..
im just sayin, with this management u never kno
Damn right!
If you’re gonna dream, dream big. Lebron and Bosh for 2010!!!

The Summer of 2010
is a sham. Most of these guys wont be leaving their teams, considering they can get the largest paydays from their current squads. This summer will end up having alot more movement. Bulls best chance at a all star is going to be around the trade deadline.
Is Ron Mercer still playing?
Why don’t we sign him and bring back Miller? Then we can draft another 7 foot Dalibor Bagaric clone and it’ll be like the year 2000 all over again!
but seriously: one big and one wing...
Bosh and either James or Wade or (consolation prize) Johnson. If James Johnson plays well and we get Johnson, they could do commercials for johnson and johnson.
If the Bulls sign Joe Johnson and keep James Johnson,
we could have “Big Johnson” and “Little Johnson” to replace “Big Ben” and “Little Ben”.
(OK, I will stop now.)
