Joel Pryzbilla to Chicago Would Make Bulls a Lock to Win Eastern Conference

Joel Przybilla is on the verge of making his decision between Chicago and Miami as far as which team he'd like to play with according to Marc Stein's tweet:

If Chicago manages to land him, it should be enough to put them past the Heat and into top threat to win the Eastern Conference. 

Przybilla isn't going to carry the Bulls to the finals by himself, but he should be just that little extra they need. The Bulls are in need of a fifth big who can play hard-nosed ball. Przybilla fits that bill. Since Kurt Thomas went to Portland they've been needing that last big to complete the bench.

He offers size, rebounding and low-post scoring. He's a career scorer around 65 percent at the rim, which is something the Bulls have needed from time to time, a player who can go strong to the rim and dunk the ball. 

They'll also possibly be needing to go through Indiana again, a team that is loaded with bigs who enjoy playing hard. "The Vanilla Gorilla" would give the Bulls one more big body to bang underneath. 

Finally getting him means Miami doesn't. If Miami doesn't get him, that's good for Chicago. Right now everything about both teams this season has to do with the other. 

Miami is more in need of a big than Chicago, so if Chicago gets him that means the gulf between bigs gets that much deeper. 

In the end, it might be that's the biggest difference in Chicago getting him, if they do.
