How Lebron (or Wade) to the Bulls could work for us.

The first step to draping the torso of Lebron James with Bulls red would be 1st draping the body of T-Mac in Bulls red. As we all know Salmons and Hinrich contracts play a huge role in us landing a top FA this off-season. As some have previously mentioned before, dealing both HInrich and Salmons to Houston in a deal for T-Mac. 

The Bulls would send HInrich, Salmons, James and Pargo to Houston in exchange for T-Mac, Lowry and Taylor or Dorsey. The salaries match for both teams and was accepted using the ESPN trade machine.

I think T-Mac would keep us competitive, because I'm sure he wants to get one last deal before be leaves the NBA. Lowry would be a competent back-up PG behind Rose and we would gain his Bird-rights for the off-season, which will be important later on. The Bulls would have a line-up and rotation as follows.

PG - Rose / Lowry

SG - T-Mac / Brown

SF - Deng / Johson

PF - Thomas / Gibson (I wish)

C-    Noah /Miller 

That team could still push for a play-off stop while maintaining maximum cap room for 2010. If the projected cap for 2010 is 55 mill we would have about 33 mill in cap room (All salaries were taken from www.Draftexpress.com). The 1st year for a max NBA deal is $16.5 Mill and we actually could sign (2) players to max deals while keeping a roster of Rose, Noah, Deng, Gibson, JJ, Asik and our 1st and 2nd round picks from the 2010 draft.

Lets say James wants to come to Chicago and be KING. We could ship Deng to the Cavs in a sign and trade that would still leave us with $27 to $28 Million in cap space with a Roster that includes Rose, James and Noah!

We could easily sign Bosh, STAT, Boozer or Lee to near max deals starting at around $13 to $15 mill per year. We could re-sign Lowry, who would be retarded to not want to play for this team. We probably could absorb a player purely as a salary dump, or sign someone like Azubuike of Golden State, who has an ETO at the end of this year. He would love to be the starting SG in that HOF line-up and make around $4 to $5 per.

If this would happend our team would look like this.

PG - Rose/ Lowry

SG - Azubuike/ 1st rounder 

SF - James/ JJ

PF - Bosh/ Gibson

C -   Noah/ Asik 

That team would win rings for years to come. And just to make Jerry happy we would be under the cap until we have to sign Rose and Noah to extensions lol. The sam scenario could be done with Wade, but for the sake of sleep I will not do another FanPost about this lol.

Call me a dreamer, but I do not think the Cavs, Heat, Knicks, Nets, Timberwolves or Clippers can compete with what the Bulls can offer. With a sign and trade Bron still can get a 6 year contract. We could also do a sign and trade for Bosh,  we could send them future picks and may bee JJ or Taj to make the numbers work and Bosh gets a 6 year deal as well.

Chicago is a major market with an avid and loyal fan base. I had an epiphany that this summer is going to be big for us and we can thank it all to Rose and Noah. Maybe it will be Wade replacing Lebron is this scenario, but something big is gonna happen for us people....I can feel it.
