Derrick Rose is out for the year
after tearing his right meniscus. The Bulls chances of making the playoffs are
obviously diminished. The Bulls now have an opportunity to clear some cap
space. Luol Deng is in the last year of his deal and is about to turn thirty.
It would be smart for the Bulls to trade Deng and receive younger players
and/or draft picks. But this injury also affects the Bulls next year. Rose will
need some time to get readjusted with the league. Next year is the final year
of Carlos Boozers awful contract; the Bulls can amnesty him next year or trade
him. Remember the Raptors were going to amnesty Andrea Bargnani but instead
they traded him and got a first round pick instead. The Bulls need to trade
Deng and Boozer and get younger players and more picks. If they follow this
plan they will also have a lot of cap room and could put together a good squad
in two years. The Bulls also have the Bobcats first round pick this year it is
top 10 protected. If the Bulls can’t use it this year it turns into an
unprotected pick in the 2016 draft. They already have a good young core with
Jimmy Butler (PLEASE CUT YOUR HAIR) and Joakim Noah. The biggest question for
the Bulls now is Derrick Rose. Will he return and if he does what kind of
player will he be? You have to think his best days are behind him. Hopefully he
can return and still be a star player.
