CB4's best destination: Chicago

This is the best place for Chris Bosh for a number of reasons.
Here’s the first:

The lineup. Rose and Bosh would be the best PG/PF combo since Stockton – Malone, (Okay maybe not quite but potentially better than Duncan – Parker). Luol Deng holds down the 3 for the next 5 years. And what Bosh has always needed, a Parrish to his McHale, an Oakley to his Ewing, a bodyguard, Joakim Noah. He’s fiery, he’ll have Bosh’s back, and he compliments his game perfectly. Noah blocks shots, rebounds, and doesn’t need to operate in the high post like Andrea Banana. If I was Bosh, I would be looking for another post guy that can guard the other team’s best big guy every night.

Furthermore, the bulls have enough cap room to add a good wing guy, a 1st round draft pick, and the best alien since Sam Cassell, Taj Gibson. Imagine this roster:

C – Noah
PF – Bosh
SF – Deng
SG – Free Agent wing (let’s say Ray Allen, who could hold down the spot for a 1st round pick)
PG – Rose

Bench: Gibson PF, Brad Miller C, Hinrich PG, Draft Pick (Xavier Henry SG?), James Johnson at SF

Not a bad young team at all. They would be the 3rd best team in the East automatically, and in a year, with some good moves involving Hinrich’s expiring (in 2012) in the summer of 2011, they could challenge the Cavs with their patented feistiness and the Bosh/Rose combo.

Let’s explore this hypothetical:

The Bulls keep the starting 5 above, and have Gibson, Johnson, and X Henry on the bench. They sign FA Sam Dalembert (who will probably be overpaid by a team that thinks he can start), Shane Battier, and Keep Hinrich’s expiring contract for a random impact player on an imploding team during the 2011-12 season.
Here’s the depth chart for that roster

C – Noah - Dalembert
PF – Bosh - Gibson
SF – Deng – Battier - Johnson
SG – Ray Allen - X Henry
PG – Rose - Hinrich

That’s a sick lineup that can play any style, and would actually work financially because Henry, Gibson, Rose and Noah would still be operating on their rookie deals for that season.

They could go small against the Cavs with Bosh, Deng, Battier, Allen, Rose lineup, and they could go huge with Dalembert, Noah, Bosh, Deng and Rose. They have shooters, stoppers, and crunch time guys. They have the right blend of youth and experience. They could throw out a great shooting lineup of Bosh, Battier, Allen, Henry, and Rose/Hinrich. And, if Lebron signs elsewhere, this is the best team in the East.
