Bulls to Make Push For Bosh?

The Bulls made significant progress this past season, especially in the last few months, but the team could be poised to pull off a big deal this summer in order to take their game to the next level.  An article by Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News says that the Bulls could pursue Toronto forward Chris Bosh this offseason.  Lawrence notes that Luol Deng would likely have to be included in any deal for the Raptors to pull the trigger.  Toronto GM Bryan Colangelo is supposedly warming up to the idea of trading Bosh in order to receive something in return for him as opposed to losing him for nothing next summer.

The Raptors are not in the strongest of positions as it’s likely that Bosh won’t re-sign with the team, and potential trading partners are well aware of this.  The Bulls would definitely be a major threat with Bosh on board and would probably be in a good position to sign the All-Star to a long-term deal.  The Bulls could offer a package that includes Deng and Tyrus Thomas, as well as a draft pick or cash considerations, and that may get it done.  With the money the Bulls would clear off their books by trading Deng and losing Ben Gordon to free agency, they’d have plenty to offer Bosh in an effort to team him with Derrick Rose for the next decade or so.
