Carlos Boozer to sign with the Bulls

[Pharcyde]

If LeBron takes a paycut.

We can still offer a max to LeBron.

[coin24]

So the bulls basically tanked the last 2 years, dropped/ gave players away so they could sign Boozer for max $$... Really???? Id hate to be a bulls fan

Expect another decade of being crap. The rose, deng, noah enticing trio i keep hearing about on here is badly overrated. Rose should GTFO of there as soon as he can!!! Wade was right about there management

[MAC system]

So what does this mean? Is this the piece to try to entice Lebron ? Or does this mean Bulls moved on?

I was thinking it was a move on, but I guess if they can still give LeBron a max then there's still a chance. Still looks like he's going to NY in my opinion.

Bulls didn't tank, they just sucked

[MAC system]

then you think wrong. this deal (if its the 80 mil over 5 and assuming the standard max raise % of 8.5) starts at about 3 mil under the max (3.15 actually). that leaves them with just enough room to sign a 30% max deal (the type lebron would get).

Thank you for correcting me. I thought it was a max.

Some reason I'm getting the Elton Brand feeling from him, I dunno why.

Bulls should look to add Mike Miller to spread the floor.

Good signing for the Bulls fans. Boozer is easily better than Amare (can't rebound) and Lee (empty stats in NY).

[boozehound]

Boozer is one of the more overrated players in the game.

Dude can't score without LEGIT PG.

good thing he'll be playing with one then.

who was his pg in cleveland? his second year in the league he averaged 16 and 11.4 on 52.3% shooting. Good thing he had mcinnis and ollie to hook him up

[JordanL]

Bulls can still sign a max contract.

Since people evidently are blind. Boozers starts at just over $13 mil per.

[BigTicket]

If LeBron takes a paycut.

Actually he doesn't have to take a paycut.

Assuming Boozers contract is structured with the normal annual raises, this leaves Chicago enouygh money to sign Lebron to a max deal.

If LeBron takes a paycut.

i believe you are mistaken.

This.

Most of you are so ****in' wrapped in going LOLZ at the bulls to realize they could secure Lebron and then ship Deng out for the role players.

Jesus some of you are idiots.

Considering that Rose has only played for 2 years, and Noah for 3, it's not and overrated trio at all. Players who are clearly good now, and only getting better are rated just fine. Nearly everyone believes Rose is going to be one of the top stars in the league within a couple years. And you can't just overlook a quality center at this point in the NBA. Nearly nobody has a decent center on their team right now. It's a big edge.

Boozer was also the #3 most wanted player for them this offseason, after LBJ and Bosh. He was only slightly less sought after than Bosh was. They already had a deal in place with Boozer before Bosh announced to go to Miami. Hence, why the deal was announced so quickly after the Wade/Bosh announcement to Miami.

Bosh has been getting very overrated this offseason. Boozer is underrated. Period.

ISH is home to too many idiots.

Boozer is not a MAX...you stupid hating fools!

Boozer is exactly what Chicago needed. Their first Low post scorer since Brand...YES!!!!!!!!

Good signing for the Bulls fans. Boozer is easily better than Amare (can't rebound) and Lee (empty stats in NY).

I'll take Amare, thanks. You can keep Boozer.
