The Bulls would probably prefer James or Anthony to replace Deng at small forward, though it's not inconceivable that they would try to play Chris Bosh at center alongside Carlos Boozer at power forward, or move a re-signed Hinrich to the bench in favour of a Wade-Gordon backcourt. The Hornets would likely target either James or Bosh, both of whom would no doubt find themselves on the receiving end of several lob passes from Chris Paul.
Should Chicago miss out on one of the top names this year, rumour has it they might attempt to position themselves to make a run at the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard or even Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks come 2008, though even if they ultimately use their cap room to round out the roster with solid role players they would still appear to be in tremendous shape moving forward.

It looks like your team is in such a relaxing situation, having a lot of cap space, and being able to contend for the championship. I hope you sign a big name in the offseason, starting another Bulls era. Who said the Bulls couldn't be successful without MJ?

Axel13 wrote:Good to see you extending your winning streak. You really took care of business against the Warriors and in that second game against Detroit. You are now halfway in tying the second longest winning streak in NBA history.

Unless of course he's already retired in your Dynasty
