Jimmy Butler looks like a legit superstar.  In the regular season, he was great offensively, but his defense slipped.  He's been great on both ends in this series.

It will be interesting to see what happens to this team this summer. Thibs is gone for sure, but what pieces are they looking to move to upgrade? Will they max out Butler knowing that it will eat up most of their flexibility? How much longer can they realistically go with a 35 year old Gasol, a seemingly rapidly-declining Noah, an increasingly average pg in Rose who is getting paid $19M or so, and a brand new system when Thibs is gone?

I would hope they'd try to blow it up, but I don't see that happening.

Saying goodbye to D-Rose is the key decision.

I think they'll pass the buck and blame other people instead. Hold back their retooling process by a few years and probably waste the tail end of Noah's best years. Screw up the next few years of Jimmy Butler's career which will probably lead to a Butler trade demand towards the end of this big contract he's about to sign this summer.

Pau needs to be moved to a bench role. First big decision for new head coach.

This the second time Chicago getting eliminated in their own house by LeBron?

Geezus

Exactly why change is coming.  Whether it's the coach, or a major piece on the roster, or both...SOMETHING has to change.  This team has clearly peaked.

Looking back, they might have peaked in 2010-11, lol ;D.

I agree, but how do you do that?  He's got to have negative trade value at this point, right?

I think the AMaZing thing about James .....

Is ability to avoid injury........

Everybody on Cavs are beat up .......nearly every player

LeBron .......is a Abrams tank .......

He just can endure punishment like NO NBA player  ever .....since I been watching ....his body doesn't break

As other players fall by the wayside ....he starts playing even harder

God gave him a super human body

His body ...no brain should be cloned

As key of a decision D-Rose is, I think Noah is just as big.  Noah is 30, but he's an oooold 30.  And he's regressed massively on the offensive end under Thibs.  His only saving grace is if the new coach can help gain back an offensive game while doing a lot better job managing his minutes.  He's no longer a 35 minute a game player

I remember hearing during the season that Stevens liked Dellavedova, and now I see why.  Da Bulls getting waxed by the Aussie.

I think your correct


The Bulls are a lot closer to blowing it up ......than people think

Rose is about half the player he was

Noah .....seems old and tired

They probably should unload those mega contracts

Bulls got all the things to beat them. They stink! If we faced this Cavs team, we win! They had a tough time with our none star team at full strength, we beat them w/o Love and KI, there is no way we don't do better than this!

I am not worried about Noah (yet). He has been playing hurt all season. Give him an offseason and see if he can get right again. Then make a decision next season on what his future is. I think it is premature at this point.

Will Noah and Rose even want to stay ...other than the big money.......will Butler want to stay at such a unstable team ......what if major guys are traded.?

Will Jimmie even want to stay?
