Chicago Bulls: Desperately Seeking a Better GM

I’d try to move some of the aforementioned “young pieces”—including Kirk Hinrich and his contract—in the hopes of landing a frontcourt scorer.  Preferably, one who is (or could be) an exciting, honest to goodness, puts asses in seats superstar. 

A while back, I went into great detail on this website about a scenario where the Bulls could bring Carmelo Anthony to town.  Since the Nuggets insist ‘Melo is staying put, I’d be on the phone to every other franchise that had a disgruntled, under-appreciated player on their roster.            

Sign role-playing free agents

Championship contenders need valuable role players.  Has anyone else noticed that James Posey has won two rings in three years?  He’s the prototypical glue guy that hits the open thres and plays hard-nosed defense. I’d take him over Thabo Sefolosha every day of the week.  Did I mention Mr. Posey’s currently an unrestricted free agent? 

Perhaps being the Chicago Bulls GM is a bad idea.  In reality, there’s a good chance I’d spend my entire tenure with the team trying to fully understand the luxury tax.  I’d probably also find myself thirty pounds heavier, since my Second City diet would consist largely of deep dish pizza, bratwurst and deep-dish bratwurst pizza. 

However, I could promise Bulls fans this much—I would shake things up.  I would make deals.  In short, I would actually try.  And if there’s one thing Bulls fans and other NBA fans would probably like to see from their GMs, it’s a little effort. 

Or perhaps that’s too much to ask.
