Do Bulls Need Facilitator?

Mike Imrem had an interesting article today in the Chicago Daily Herald. He claims that, like Bulls general manager Bill Paxson said the other day, the Bulls do not need a superstar in the ilk of LeBron James or Kobe Bryant. Imrem does think, however, that the Bulls need to get a player who can make the other key components on their team better. What he means, is, that the Bulls need a missing link that will facilitate, link, if you will, the various other positive components of their current roster. Who that player is, or what he does, specifically is anybody’s guess.

Of course, I agree that the bulls are one missing player away from being a Finals contender- especially in the East- but I disagree that Bill Paxson will have to trade to get him. I think it is entirely likely that the Bulls could pick up a forward or center, like Spencer Hawes or Jason Smith, who will add the one thing that they need: low post scoring. Having an inside threat will open up so much for the Bulls, because most of their offensive talent likes to play on the perimeter. And the Bulls might not need to trade any of those good perimeter players to accomplish that.

If the Bulls can land Hawes, Smith, or somebody ranked higher, I would definitely suggest checking out Chicago Bulls tickets at StubHub.com to see them play next year. It’s too early to tell what will come of their draft pick, but the best way to find out is to be there live.
