I actually think think this is an ok signing. People marveled at San Antonio's passing. Gasol, Noah, McDermott, and Mirotic can all pass. Noah and Gasol both have the mobility to play away from the basket. Mirotic and MacDermott can each shoot. All of this spaces the floor. Boozer was bothered by length. More specifically, before he joined the Bulls, he struggled against Gasol, Bynum, and Odom because of their length. Gasol is better than Boozer at scoring in the paint. This interior scoring was always something the Bulls lacked in a playoff series vs the Heat. Taj can guard a lot of SFs. There's a lot of flexibility on the roster now and a lot more skill. They don't have much athleticism at wing though.
I agree. Obviously, losing Melo was disappointing but Gasol is an improvement over Boozer in many ways and gives the Bulls the best front court rotation in basketball. The only weakness is really at the 2 guard position...The Bulls have been looking for a 2 guard since Jordan left...
