Between this year free agents,I see JJ fit very well with the actual Bulls situation
The lineup could be
Rose-JJ-Deng-Gibson-Noah

Lebron is dangerous mainly attacking the paint,I see that he,Bosh and Noah could be damaged because there will be not adequate space under the basket

I see JJ as another Jalen Rose at exactly the same point in Jalen's career. Signing Jalen didn't work out so well for the Bulls then...

JJ need to see his role scaled in the team,but without hurting his personal ambitions.This Chicago lineup would be perfect for him,because he could share the stage with Rose till the clutch moments of the games,when Rose will be the only leader of the Bulls
JJ is a level above Jalen about talent,but he isn't a superstar that could lead a contender,that's why he failde in the playoffs with the Hawks

I don't understand why people keep talking about the knicks team as a bad team. It was a very bad team. But now there is no team. There are 4 players (actually 3 players and a large expiring contract). It's as close to a clean slate as you are going to get. They can fill the rosters spots in whatever way they want. There are no bad contracts eating up the cap space (like in every other team). If Lebron and another big time FA come to the Knicks, it won't be difficult to put together the pieces and have a contending team. Tons of veterans will want to come join in for a title run (like it has happened in other teams), plus there are already three young talented prospects in place (Gallo, Chandler, and Douglas). Not to mention that Curry's huge expiring contract can turn into a good player very soon (perhaps a good PG).
Maybe the knicks won't get anyone and will resign Avid Lee (which will piss me off more than missing out on Lebron), but I think there is at least a better case to be made for the knicks than most people are saying.

If they believe in Gallo,they should not pick up Lebron,a lineup with Gallo as PF and maybe Lee as C would be too thin to contend for the tilte.And Gallo as sixth man would be ridicoulous,as he is clearly the best young propsect of the knicks
Before any other move,they had to resign Lee and T-Mac,any superstar will move in a team with only Gallo,Chandler,Rodriguez,Doulgas,Walker,Giddens and Curry...

What I meant was that the Knicks should NOT resign Avid Lee, and neither T-mac for that matter. And what I call eddy curry's salary? I call it one of the biggest expiring contracts in the league this season. Curry was a burden until the end of this season. Come July 1st, Curry's contract becomes a great asset. The Lakers traded Kwame Brown's expiring contract for Pau Gasol. That was kind of absurd, but it happens. The knicks may not get a 3rd superstar out of that (although there are rumors about Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas, and even CP3), but they can at least get another starter.

I think the Bulls have a good shot too, but I think they are more likely to get Bosh than Lebron. Miami also has a good chance of keeping Wade and adding someone else like Boozer.

But it's too hard to tell. There are several possibilities. The Knicks might put together a contending team this summer (such as Parker, Gallo, Lebron, Chandler, and Amare), but they also might not get anyone and have to start building a new plan. I guess we gotta wait and see.

Knicks deserve a nice team after decade of debacle...I sure hope all fall into place for once.

Nah, there are other horrible teams to balance out the Yankees. Wait until the Mets' annual end of season collapse. It's a close race between the Islanders and the Knicks for consistently worst team in New York. Though the Islanders get the edge since their "slump" has lasted years longer.

(Says the bitter Mets, Islanders, Knicks fan...)

What was up with Wade's comment about not liking the Bulls' lack of loyalty to former players?
