Bulls basketball is exciting again, sort of. Rose and Noah are fun to watch, but the Bulls are still locked in this basketball purgatory. However, the organization is doing good things to get the Bulls on the path to winning. For now, Bulls fans have to play the wait-and-see game. The GM (s) have traded away Salmons for two expiring contracts as well as the laugh-a-bull play of cry baby Tyrus Thomas for two more expiring contacts. This gives the Bulls about $18-21 million in salary cap space room and puts them in a great position to sign at least one max contact in one of the greatest free agent classes of all in time in any sport. There’s still a long ways to go with many scenarios yet to be played out, but I all ready consider this season to be a success due solely to these transactions. Making the playoffs would just be a bonus to an otherwise forgettable season. Oh, and you can just forget about getting Lebron too cuz it ain’t happenin’. There’s an outside shot that the Bulls could land D-Wade, mostly because he hails from Chicago, but again it’s very improbable. There’s some talk that Chris Bosh may just sign with the Heat and he and Wade will try to run the table in Miami. Where do the Bulls go from there? Next in the free agent line are over-the-hill, second tier players. I’m really happy with what the Bulls have done thus far, but they’re going to have to make this team more appealing if money alone can’t get a top tier player in a Bulls jersey.
