Chicago!!!!

I just want to take a second and talk about basketball and this past year's free agency.  How time has passed.  I remember a few years ago waiting and looking at ESPN and thinking the 2010 NBA free agency would be the craziest of all-time.  I look at this year and this class is nothing to talk about so I won't.  However, the one name that sticks out is Carmelo Anthony and he NEEDS to go to New York.  Think about it for the game of basketball.  You now have the three best teams in the three biggest markets so there is more exposure and more money generated for the sport.  It also makes sense because adding a Carmelo Anthony to that roster and maybe (Tony Parker??) and you have yourself a squad.


1-Raymond Felton
2-Tony Parker (I love Manu Ginobli personally..he's a lefty)
3-Carmelo Anthony
4-Danilo Gallinari
5-Amare Stoudemire


Now you must be asking yourself what this has to do with Chicago?? Well I will tell you.  I just watched the Michael Jordan response to LeBron video and it just made me think of Chicago and how much of a botch it was this past summer getting Carlos Boozer over Amare Stoudemire (that's why I talked about New York earlier).  As you can see this year, Amare has been on fire and is almost unstoppable...Blake Griffin has been unstoppable and is my #1 PF (4) in the league.  Amare was only a few more million a year and he is more explosive than Boozer and would fit nicely with Derrick Rose...who is also explosive (can you say transition points??).   The Bulls should have never been trying to get LeBron from the beginning and should have settled for Amare..because to me settling for Amare is a hell of a deal! Then they should have tried for D Wade and once he said (Heat 3 Peat) they should have called Amare and struck a deal.  However, they settled for Boozer and that is not going to make this an elite team.  This summer was so important for the Bulls (because of their young core DRose/Noah) and adding a third piece to the puzzle such as Amare would make them an upper echelon team and a title contender. But now D Rose is going to have to take his game to a new level for the Bulls to succeed b/c the Bulls aren't better than the Lakers or Heat..but could beat Celts, Spurs, Thunder in a series.

Now looking back (in disbelief) I actually discussed the possibility of this kind of Chicago Bulls Roster and it is disgusting....get Amare 1st piece of puzzle then the rest will fall.


1-Derrick Rose
2-Dwayne Wade
3-LeBron James
4-Amare Stoudemire
5-Joakim Noah

After you get Amare you call D Wade and go "we got three stars here, why don't you return home and be part of a championship". He obliges.  Then you call LeBron James "king coward"(in some people's eyes) and go why don't you come to Jordan's house and put up 10 on the board..because that is the only way you can beat him!! He obliges and you use the rest of the roster as cow filler (these would be gems on FST teams).  However, now Jordan can clown on you LeBron, and he did in that commercial.  That might be the fuel you need to take your game and the Heat to the next level. So we will see what happens.


-also if you don't think that Knicks roster is sick then you are dumb and I can't explain it to you. King Coward II (R.N.) would love games in the Gaaarden with that roster!
