I think a veteran "role player" like Jefferson would be perfect going forward. Especially next year, I wanna see what the Bulls have in Jimmy Butler, he has impressed me when he's on the court. A guy like RJ won't log as many minutes as Deng so it would mean more time for Butler.
So basically the trade means: -More Jimmy Butler, which I like -We add our Shane Battier, which worked for the champs. -We potentially add a young starting SG. Bulls have drafted pretty good the last few years, I trust they pick the right guy between Ross, Rivers, and Lamb. I think they're all better than what they've thrown out there at SG the last 2 years In said situation I think Terrance Ross would be the best pick because he's capable of paying the 2 and the 3. When the time comes and the Bulls have the money to offer a big contract they can target a SF OR a SG with Ross being able to slide to the other position. It'd be pretty sweet if Jefferson doesn't pick up his player option next year for whatever reason and they amnesty Booze. This sets you up for a run at Harden, Martin, Ellis, Evans (after he has a monster year I'm predicting now), or Josh Smith. A Rose-Harden-Ross-Taj-Noah lineup is pretty sick, if Ross turns out to be good, or hell Butler turns out to be good then that is no doubt a championship caliber team. Once Mirotic comes over a bench of Mirotic, Butler, Asik, #29 this year (D.Lamb? trade up for Wroten? trade down for Taylor/Machado/Intl. prospect), next years draft pick/MLE is a pretty good looking bench as well. |
