Don't like this. How many PG's do we need? I want Teague getting as much playing time as possible. |

Well last year he got good minutes and in the same amount of playing time as CJ Watson he averaged 2 more ppg and shot a higher FG% and just had 1 less assist per game. Not sure how his defense is in comparison but he did have more steals than CJ. Nates last 2 games he went for 30/7 & 28/8, just throwin that out there. |

Of course, CJ was playing hurt most of the year, so "Nate Robinson is about as good as CJ was when he played through injuries to cover the time Rose was out" isn't really selling him much. |

Well even with that said, the Bulls still survived with that production from a hurt CJ so if they can get that kind of production from Nate then as Hawk might say, its all good. |

Looks like this is official now.
Also, per KC Johnson, the Bulls may sign Tracy McGrady now. Are we trying to recreate the 2011-2012 Atlanta Hawks bench? Hinrich, Radmonovic, TMac... |

Sounds like fun, should be a good JL3 replacement. May very well get released when Rose returns, unless there is an injury.
The trick with TMac is to de-synchronize his injuries with Rip's. You'll always have a vet around, just never both. lol |

I'm ok with this. He serves the J4L role. He's played for Thibs before, so Thibs probably supported this.
And I'd be ok with TMac. If he acts up, well, cut him. His skills are there, just not his athleticism. So, now he's a homeless mans TMac, but can help the Bulls. I also really want to sign Malcom Thomas. He's basically Taj Lite, so would be a good addition to the end of the bench. PG - Hinrich/Robinson/Teague [Rose] SG - Rip/Bellinelli/TMac SF - Deng/Butler/Radmonovic PF - Boozer/Gibson/Thomas C - Noah/Nazr And yes, I think this team with returning Rose can make some noise. It all depends on if Thibs can get the Bench Mob 2.0 to have the same chemistry as The Original Bench Mob. |

Nate Rob is the JL3 "Get shots up" replacement, although he was better than JL3 last year and put up some nice numbers for GS. PER of 18, TS of 53%, highest assist average of his career.. Quietly a good signing if you get the player from last season. Teague needs a year or two before he gets consistent playing time-- he's not ready right now.
