    If Wade, LBJ and Bosh joined Chicago instead?

    Discuss. Who would Chicago not have, or likely not have, if the three stars signed with them.

    I know, with the benefit of hindsight, that Bulls fans would want Wade more than those other two.

    No Boozer, no Brewer, no Krover. D. Rose, D. Wade, L. James, J. Noah, and C. Bosh... SICK!!!

    ^ that would suck ass. Why would Bulls fans want Lebron on this team? He would completely take over the team, D.Rose would not have developed into the leader he is today, it would just be completely different.


    and Boozer > Bosh

    Don't need Rose and Lebron on the same team.. Now some of you want to add Rose, Lebron and Wade??? Sounds like a disaster in the making and Rose not being the Rose we know today...

    DRose doesnt need Lebron; He will win a title himself. Lebron wouldnt be able to handle the pressure of a city like ChiTown. Thats why he went to Miami so Wade can take the last shot and its a city which doesnt care about BBall.

    Bulls would have been able to get Lebron and Bosh or Lebron and Wade but not all 3

    You should really choose your words carefully when comparing Rose and Lebron in relation to success. Neither has a ring and Lebron has done a heck of a lot more than Rose at this point.. I will leave it at that but you should def. stop while you are ahead to keep from getting put to shame by someone who actually feels like debating you... If it's even a debate at this point....

    The bulls are all about teamwork not 3 drama queens who take high difficulty shots in order to win games. Look at Boozer and Noah being out, the Bulls were still winning games. Imagine Wade and Lebron being out, they wouldn't even challenge the Cavs.

    You have completely failed to learn the lesson of the Heat, they haven't been losing big games because people like Bibby have failed to step up....

    In retrospect, I'm kinda glad we didn't take LeChoke, Crybaby Bosh, and Dwyane Strayed. This Bulls squad may have smaller names, but they play much harder, and coach Thibodeau's coaching style is lightyears ahead of Spoelstra.

    They could only have signed one, and it would've been Wade, or perhaps Bosh. LeBron wasn't coming, and the other two didn't because they didn't want to join the next dynasty, I guess.

    Yes. They didn't have the cap room. They were pursuing Wade, and that's it.

    Instead, they signed Boozer with their cap space.

    HMM... lets see Rose will be the youngest player in history to win the MVP, did you forget he is only 22? People said he couldn't shoot so he spent all summer working on his jump shot while Lebron was promising 7 more titles. His peers voted him the team captain at the all star game and the only thing you ever hear about him from the media is how humble he is. Watch a Bulls game before you open your mouth. Your probably a jr high kid who gets his info from highlights on ESPN. You probably think Jimmer Fer will avg 40 pts a game in NBA and Blake G is the best player in NBA.

    When will everyone realize that Lebron or Amare were not the best free agents this year. It was Brian Scalabrine; The guy gets a standing ovation everytime he makes an appearance and just starts chucking 3s

    Hmm I could've sworn they were pursuing all three players. Maybe they would've traded existing players off? I know LBJ wouldn't have seriously considered going to Chicago if at least one of the other big three wasn't following, and Chicago was the leading candidate at one point.

    Amare's just a pretty good player, but LBJ is the league's best. The only key players Cleveland lost last year were him and Z, and look what's happened.

    how about

    Rose, Wade, Deng, Boozer, Noah as the starting 5

    Bogans, Korver, Gibson, Brewer, Watson, Osik off the bench

    poochie, yeah they were pursuing LeBron, but it wasn't a package deal. It was an either/or scenario.

    They wanted all 3 but it wasnt realistic without getting rid of Noah. They tried to land at least 2 of them but it didn't work out. The Bulls are better off anyway, they would of never got Boozer or Korver and the team would not be playing the team ball that they are now.
