The whispers of LeBron James and Chris Bosh going to Chicago have been getting louder and louder over the past month and now there's been a major advancement in the free agency saga. An unidentified NBA executive said he believes that LeBron James going to the Chicago Bulls is all but official. He also added that there's a great chance Chris Bosh will be going with him.
"I think it's a done deal," the executive claimed.
About three weeks ago World Wide Wes, the owner of LeBron James' agency, came out with his comments.
"We're going to Chicago and Bosh is coming too".
Obviously if Chris Bosh and LeBron James go to Chicago to team up with all star point guard Derrick Rose we're looking at a top contender for the Larry O'Brien Trophy next season. I would take it a step further. If this trio does in fact formulate I think we're looking at the NBA's next great dynasty. The only concern for next season would be the bench because the Bulls have traded basically all of their assets in order to clear up cap space for this summer.
The starting lineup would look like this:
PG-Derrick Rose (All Star)
SG-?????????? (Possibly Luol Deng, though I doubt it)
SF-LeBron James (All Star)
PF-Chris Bosh (All Star)
C-Joakim Noah (All Star Caliber)
Bench
Taj Gibson
Luol Deng
Brad Miller (If he re-signs)
NOBODY ELSE
That's the glaring weakness of this potential team. However my guess is that if the big three of Rose-James-Bosh does in fact develop then players are going to come out of the woodwork to come off the bench for that team. When Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce in Boston in the summer of 2007 James Posey and Eddie House volunteered to go there. The Celtics didn't have to go get them, I think it would be a similar case with the Bulls.
According to multiple sources this Bulls fan fantasy is about to become a reality.
