Lebron's legacy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBRhoB5V_fA Lebron's a better player, but Kobe will end with the better legacy.

This team is going to win somewhere around 70 games next season if they stay healthy. It looks like they will bring in Derek Fisher. Dwyane Wade basically won 47 games with Beasley/JO/Haslem plus a bunch of junk last year. So basically they have exchanged JO/Beasley/Haslem for Lebron, Bosh...

Redick > Hinrich imo. He's a good defender too. I like how the Bulls are constructing themselves, although the team probably still lacks the talent to win.

I think getting a scoring punch from the shooting guard spot is more important than finding a defensive presence. Wade will put up pretty much the same numbers, whether he is going up against Ben Gordon or Danny Granger or Kirk Hinrich or Raja Bell.

Raja Bell would be solid if we can't swing a trade. Maybe sign Raja Bell and then go into the season with some cap space and wait until the deadline to swing a trade for a shooting guard. But just looking across the league, some guys that could be available to fill our shooting guard role...

His legacy, at best will be that of Kobe before the last 2 championships.

Shakes wrote: I think Gordon could be back on the Bulls in a salary dump. But I think someone will gift us a player better than Gordon. I'm thinking Indiana gifts us Danny Granger.

After tonight, it looks like keeping Hinrich/Gordon would have gave us the best possible team coming out of this free agency. Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon make a combined $19.8 million next year. We have approximately $19.7 million in capspace right now, which is a wash with their salaries...

The problem is Adrian Wojnarowski and the Chicago beatwriters are the only ones actually doing reporting and doing critical thinking on what they're hearing.
