No.. read this, now. This is what Sting and I have been saying the whole time.

Even if Rose were to go down again, the Bulls' current roster is better equipped to handle its superstar's absence than the previous two. Don't look now, but the depth chart goes at least 11 deep on paper.

It's clear the strength of the squad is depth.

The added depth came without sacrificing the team's defensive identity. Chicago got the shooting it needed and now boasts unprecedented versatility at four positions. If the team sends Mirotic, McDermott and Taj Gibson to Minnesota for Love, it will sacrifice that identity and its depth.

Gone would be two bigs (Mirotic and Gibson) with varying skill sets that give Thibodeau weapons to attack teams in different ways off his bench. Gone would be a young, team-first, dead-eye long-range shooter in McDermott. He has the look of a more skilled version of Kyle Korver.

The average age of the three players rumored to be offered is just 24.6. The 29-year-old Gibson would be the elder statesman of the group, but don't underestimate what his absence would mean.

Gibson's defense, athleticism and energy would be sorely missed. He helped to give the Bulls bench an identity last season, and he will do the same thing for the unit next season—given the chance.

Re: Kevin Love rumors

And where did all that depth get the Bulls when they had the best record in the NBA in 2011 and 2012?

Need stars to win rings, son.

When you have a chance to get one of the best players in the league your line of thinking has to change.

I think San Antonio would disagree.

Let's use your dumb logic. The Knicks took a chance and did what you are suggesting the Bulls do when they traded to get Melo from Denver. Look where they are now. You need depth to win in the playoffs. The Spurs just showed that win they beat the Heat in the playoffs. The 2011 and 2012 teams could not score and relied on defense. This current roster will be able to play defense and score with the new additions they have.

You got it Sting.. It's clear we're dealing with someone who has possibly never even picked up a basketball in his life. I'm done.

The Knicks really didn't give up much in terms of talent in that deal. A lot of rotation players went to the Nuggets.

Isn't Mike Dunleavey a rotation player by your logic? You see how dumb the statements you are making really sound? Take a seat.

I'm dumb but you'd take Mike Dunleavy over a lottery pick in a trade for one of the best players in the NBA.

Judging by some of the statements you've made in this thread it appears you've made a habit of stop reading loooooong before today.

Well since we both agree that you are dumb it looks like I made the right decision.
