NBA Free Agency

Now that the major part of the NBA free agency period is coming to a close, I want to offer my thoughts on what transpired, specifically for the Bulls...

First, 'The Decision' was a complete and utter disaster.  I have no idea what LBJ was thinking going on national TV to stab all the people of Cleveland in the back.  Shows a lot about his character, or that he's just not that smart.  Of course I am disappointed that he didn't go to the Bulls but I thought the whole special was a complete joke.  Narcissism at its finest.

Now, on to the Bulls.  At first, I was not happy that they didn't sign any of the 'big three' that they were going after.  The media convinced me that they were gonna sign at least a couple of them, if not all three, and when they didn't get Wade, LBJ, or Bosh I was pretty let down.  Moving past these guys though, I think the Bulls have done a nice job filling in the holes with all the money that they had prepared for the 'Summer of 2010'.

I think the Boozer signing was a great one.  Fills a significant low post need that the Bulls have needed for years.  Him and Noah together will be a rebounding machine.  Hopefully he can just stay healthy.  A Boozer and LBJ combination with the rest of the Bulls roster would have immediately vaulted them to championship contention but thats water under the bridge now.  I think the Bulls are doing good things with the money they have left after missing on LBJ.  I really like the signings of Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer.  The Bulls have become Utah-east.  Korver brings a huge three point threat that they badly needed.  Brewer will come in and contend for the starting SG spot.  I think he will really excel playing with DRose.  And last night, they signed C.J. Watson (VOLS!) to backup DRose.  Beautiful signing IMO.  The Bulls now have $4.5 to $5 million left to sign one more key component.  I would love to see them to sign another PF/SF type to compliment Boozer/Noah.  I know the Heat are gonna get all the hype this season upcoming but watch out for the Bulls, they have greatly improved.
