Anderson could guard James in the post and give him help-side defense when he guards him at the top. The Bulls would be fine and their offense would be nearly unstoppable.

Brewer would still be better, but I see what you're saying. I think a zone might be the best way to defend Miami as it is. Howard can shut down the paint and if they beat us shooting long twos then so be it.

Eh...Lebron is a heck of a lot stronger than Anderson. If Lebron actually had a post game, this could be an issue, but as it stands, his post game right now is just bulling people over. Anderson wouldn't do that great against that. And if Lebron takes him in the high post, that's a blow by waiting to happen. Our help defense would stop that play sometimes I guess...

Different line-ups the Bulls could use:

1.
Howard
Boozer
Anderson
Hamilton
Rose

2.
Howard
Anderson
Turkoglu
Brewer
Rose/Watson

3.
Asik
Boozer
Anderson
Hamilton/Brewer
Rose/Watson

4.
Asik
Howard
Anderson/Turkoglu
Hamilton/Brewer
Rose/Watson

Plenty of versatility to play big or small. The Bullswould be idiots not to do that deal.

Yes we'd be dumb not to do that trade, Orlando isn't going to give up Anderson and they would be dumb to do that trade...sort of.

Look, I'd miss Luol Deng as much as anybody. Especially because of his defense. But Anderson is capable of guarding SF's. Sure, he would need help matched up with LeBron, but Howard would still be there as a defensive anchor. Rose would need to play a lot of help defense on James at the top, and Howard gives you all of the help defense you could ever dream of against James in the post backing down Anderson.

I'm not bashing the idea of that team as a whole, I'm just saying Anderson guarding James is far from ideal. In context, as long as we win, I don't care.

This Howard talk is the reincarnation of last seasons Melo talks......INSANITY

Then add JR Smith to that.

Deng
Boozer
Noah
Smith
Rose

Bench:
Taj
