The NBA Offseason: Chicago

2012 Picks: (29) Marquis Teague
2011 Picks: (30) Jimmy Butler, (43) Malcolm Lee

PG - Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich, Marquis Teague
SG - Richard Hamilton, Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver
SF - Luol Deng, Jimmy Butler
PF - Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson
C - Joakim Noah

It looks doubtful that Chicago will be able to keep Omer Asik. Some of this summer's free-agent signings make you wonder why they had the lockout in the first place, since owners and GMs can't help but throw too much money at free agents.

I haven't heard yet if the Bulls have picked up their options on Brewer or Korver, but I would think at least one of them will be dropped. The like Korver for his ability to spread the floor and make those 3's, but he's a liability on defense. Brewer's one of their better wing defenders, but he can't shoot from outside, and he's a poor free-throw shooter (56% last year). The Bulls are trying to see if they can get Courtney Lee, but with the recent addition of Kirk Hinrich, CJ Watson will likely not be back.
