ChiCity,
Simple question.
If the Bulls had the available CAP space, would you be in favor of signing Kevin Durant?

So because I'm not one of the legions of Bulls fans on Rose's facebook mocking his injuries means I'm overly optimistic?
Guess what? I'm not one of the ones talking about how we're going to contend next year either. And there are still plenty of those.
Cavs are within 2 games of winning the NBA title.
Thunder were up 3-1 on the champs. And they walked through arguably the deepest and most balanced team in the league in the Spurs.
And who the f^%* said that signing Durant would automatically win the Bulls the title next year? You are acting like signing him would guarantee they NEVER will with him there which is the complete and utter opposite of the truth.

Your sure you want to join in on this? I mean the Bulls have been spinning their wheels for 25 years according to this guy. Do the math and find out what 25 years ago was and have a great laugh.

We're not going to Durant, whether we have Butler or not. Period. Be smart and don't go after guys like Nicolas Batum just because you have the money. Save up and go after younger, cheaper guys like Langston Galloway, Tyler Johnson, and Allen Crabbe. Build up the roster this year and go after somebody big next year.

My favorite teams
Why would somebody big would come to Chicago that has no chance to compete with Cleveland in the next 2-3 years? Bulls have to build with the draft. Get pretty good FAs and hope to get lucky. The Bulls have to model the team like the Detroit Pistons that beat the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq. No real superstars, but a deep and smart team.

ChiCitySox, you are wrong about how to build a team in the NBA here.
Durant would choose the Bulls becuase its a top 5 market where his sell power and corporate deals can out weigh increased taxes. First of all, there are 3-5 destinations that make more sense for Durant, we were never in the running, and we don't have a roster that makes sense to him.
But from the Bulls perspective, I think you are missing some subtelty of the effects of the salary cap. In the truth, you don't have to be a top 5 player to be worth a max contract to the team. Each team can have 2-3 maxes, which means max contract is only a waste if its not a top 30-45 player.
Durant is set to be a top 45 player for the next 5-7 years, the length of his contract, and EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE would sign Durant if he chose them.
Every single one. So you might ask yourself or try to explain why you are on a complete island alone arguing about this. What is your point? The timing is bad?
Yeah, its not ideal, its not going to happen, and your perspective doesn't make much sense to anyone.

That Pistons team is a complete abnormality to winning a championship in the NBA. You aren't going to win that way without a absolute ton of luck.
That team got lucky in the sense Wade got injured in the Ecf and missed game 6 and hobbled around in game 7. Then Detroit faced a Lakers team full of drama in the Finals.
The team had no superstars and that particular season rip, Billups werent all Stars and Wallace was their only star.
Detroit was a good team but they're not the model for building a championship team.

You are entitled to your opinion. The top 3 markets don't get much interest from elite FAs like Durant these days. You can dream about it for now though.

Hopefully LeBron never comes to the Bulls, we need to rebuild.
