Why do I get the feeling that the Bulls are making offers to everyone?

And that they are all below-market offers with the enticement of playing for a championship?

to someone like Grant Hill, the chance to win

and not be hated if he did it with the Heat probably sounds pretty good

I don't get the appeal here.

We need a shot creator. At this point, I’m not even quite sure what this fucking means, other than Grant Hill isn’t necessarily what comes to mind. Maybe, by shot creator, we mean, someone who can handle the ball a little bit, run isolation a little bit, bear the scoring load in ways that aren’t predicated on Rose’s play. And given the current free-agent crop, I don’t know that any one is the ideal fit (though we all have favorites). Point is, in a good guy contest, Grant Hill kicks everybody’s ass. But, aside from spelling Deng (which, granted, is no small feat) I don’t know what the draw is.

if at the vet minimum

hill provides pretty nice insurance for deng and hopefully enough trust from thibs to ease the mins on deng

deng i imagine would serve as a backup

not a 6th man really, but like a good rotation player for defensive services. Hes a good ball handler to boot, and would come fairly cheap. Hes not really an answer to any problems, but he just makes the team deeper and until we see butler in action, hes a solid backup sf option.

…..imagine a lineup of rose, brewer, hill, noah, asik…..even the heatles or knicks are gonna have difficulty scoring buckets….

I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!

Rose, Deng, Hill, Noah, Asik

Nobody scores on that. Nobody. They’ll never make a bucket, but they’ll never get scored on. Lots of 42-40 games with that group…

its not our starting lineup

if rose x deng boozer and noah can pickup a lead, you can then go through a nice stretch with those 5 on the floor, and with rose still part of the lineup you would probably be able to get more buckets than the opposition.

If that picks up 13 minutes a game...

we will have the lowest scoring AND the lowest PA in the shot clock era. And we’d probably score more than opponents with DR on the field. The others aren’t exactly terrible offensive players, they’re just not great either.

does it matter

so long as we wee-un?

what on earth does he give us that we don’t already have.. it’s a waste of money

someone to ease Deng's minutes

and still providing offense and defense

Depends on the reason we are getting him

back up deng, cheap replacement for brewer, spot minutes at the 2 – yay

answer at the 2 position – nay.

i just don't really see the reason

Brewer deserves more minutes and we have Korver and supposedly we’re getting a new shooting guard. There’s no minutes for Hill.

I hope they bring in Hill we need backup for dang

Hill is a all around player still good at scoring and playing D..D everyone forget how good he guarded LaBaby last yr..?And i dont think dang with have the same yr he did last yr..If we can sign hill and bring in a good shooting guard il be very happy and the heat will not like it one bit.
