OK so Melo kept his talents in NYC, let him visit the UN.

Let's say the Bulls can manage to get Gasol, and likely somebody else to balance the money, and ship Boozer as part of it.

What else? The front court will be well stocked with Noah, Gasol, Gibson probably Mirotic.
Dunleavy and McDermott at the 3. They still have need at the 2 and a backup point guard.

At the money they have and the needs I'm actually bringing back Hinrich and looking at Paul Pierce. Hinrich is solid behind Rose and can play the 2, Pierce could come off the bench behind Butler. Your bench rotation would be McDermott, Gibson, Hinrich, Pierce. shooters and defense only one rookie and veterans that Thibs can trust not to make mistakes. And if McDermott struggles Pierce can play more at the 3.

I probably go after Stephenson and hope to pay him 8 million a year.

He plays the wing and can score and defend.

He would at least let us play someone beside Derrick who is not a stiff on offense.

No one knows what the Gasol trade looks like yet so it is impossible to even have an intelligent thought about what is next. Anyone who says they know what is next, before the details of Gasol deal come out, is a clown. Time to wait and for the details. Then we can all guess what is next.

I am not sure why anyone believes any of these rumors.

The bulls need to look for a wing that can score. I hope they try to see what's up with Lance Stephenson.

As said earlier, I think a bit depends on what happens with Gasol. What are the Bulls giving the Lakers back in their deal? What's happening with Boozer?

But I think going after Lance is not a bad idea.

Bulls send Dunleavy, Anthony Randolph, Greg Smith and a pick in a S & T for Pau Gasol.

Bulls amnesty Boozer.

Let's say Gasol signs a 2 year, 18 million dollar contract where he receives 8.5 million in his first season.

That gives the Bulls 13 million dollars in cap space with the cap now up to 63 million. Not much you can do with that when you only have 6 players on the roster.

No sign and trade for Gasol.

I had heard Gasol agreed to around 10m per with a S&T, 6.5 per without. We will see where his priorities lie compared to some "other players," given the fact that he apparently turned down 10 or 11 from LAL.

10+ mil for Gasol would be horrifically dumb
