Essentially were bringing the same team back, I don't know man. The Cavs were shorthamded, now there reloading and they aren't even done yet. We'll see what this Fred Hoiberg offense is about.

I'm optimistic about the offense because Thibs offense wasn't all that great.
Hoiberg has turned low level tier players into a great efficient offensive team. Imagine what he could do with the Bulls players if they all buy into the system.
I know for sure, we'll see a lot of 3 balls and inside penetration. Mid-range would almost be non-existent with this offense.
Warriors played the same way. Every one moves on offense and the ball moves on offense, either take the 3 or take it in the paint. Those are the Warriors offense.
Not saying Bulls are the next Warriors, but Hoiberg offense is similar to that of the Warriors.

Aaron is nice but his height was a problem in the playoffs and kept him on the bench.

I'm not mad about keeping the team as is. At least there won't be much of a learning curve inside of 2k16 hahaha. But in all seriousness all we need is a healthy squad and we can match up with everyone. Excited to see Toney and Douggies development.

Im optimistic, as always...
We're probably gonna see a different starting line up that Thibodeau was using.
From the offense of hoiberg, either Pau or Noah is coming off the bench.

Our options were slim, glad we kept the majority of the team together considering NOBODY is trading for Taj or Noah right now.
It would/'ve been nice to upgrade the SF position but I think Doug/Snell should improve this season.
Brooks played well last season when he was called upon, he earned another year IMO. Make sure he gets all of Kirk's minutes this season.
Do we still have our MLE?
.. Not sure if the deals for MDJ/Kirk/AB ate into that or not ... would be nice to add another piece to the puzzle if we haven't used it.

I believe they still have the MLE. Kirk picked up his player option so he'll be going into the luxury tax. As for MDJ, AB and with Portis being signed, I *THINK* they still got their MLE. Maybe Gerald Green would like to play for the Bulls since he's still free..Do we still have our MLE?.. Not sure if the deals for MDJ/Kirk/AB ate into that or not
... would be nice to add another piece to the puzzle if we haven't used it.
I don't think 3rd year players tend to run SL. So he's possibly just practicing at the facility.

Lol...I got banned from the Hawks thread.
The Bulls begin play on July 11 against first overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves at 5:30 p.m. CT. They'll then square off against the Toronto Raptors on July 12 at 5 p.m. CT, followed by a date with the Brooklyn Nets on July 14 at 4 p.m. After those three preliminary games the Bulls will be seeded in a 24-team tournament to determine the champion on July 20.

Would've been nice to sign Gerald Green to the minimum like the Heat just did
