Ah, yes. Paired with Rose (who would only need to be 70-80%), Noah, and at least 1 of Butler/Gibson that's easily the best team in the East and likely the league. Simmons - even though his schtick can get old, he does have legit connections (or at least connections to people like Jalen Rose who have legit connections) - could send Boozer + 16 + 19 to Orlando for Afflalo and waivable contracts then Mirotic+MDJ+Snell somewhere to free up money for Melo Would that leave us with MLE, LLE and vet minimums to fill out the roster beyond Rose, Afflalo, Anthony, Taj, Noah and Butler? Would the MLE be enough to resign DJ? I really want to be sure we have depth at PG, one to limit Roses minutes and two in case Rose gets injured. With the rest of that lineup the Bulls can withstand a Rose injury if they have a halfway decent backup.
