hoopdreams replied to your link: Steve Nash reportedly on Chicago Bulls’ offseason radar

Really? Can they even afford Nash if he wanted to come? Seems like everything I read basically says the Bulls are tied down…unless they make other moves to free salary somehow? Dah. Fun to speculate none the less.

We actually have a surprisingly significant chunk being freed up with Watson, Korver, Brewer, James, Lucas, and Scal not having guaranteed contracts. The hope, the dream, the idea, obviously, is that we sign Nash to a 1-2 year deal, we go all Miami Heat and sign some surprisingly good ring-chasers and role guys, then Rose comes back in time for the last month of the season and playoffs, and we nab a title.

Of course, there’s plenty of bumps to this. We MUST start Gibson in place of Boozer. He’s simply the better player, but there’s a risk at having an emotionally damaged, overpaid, and perhaps underrated at this point player. Just ask the Lakers about Gasol.

We’d also likely be starting Rip at SG (christ) and if Luol Deng gets surgery, then while we may still make the playoffs, a title might be out of the question, even if Deng and Rose come back in time. I like Jimmy Butler, and the kid plays his ass off, a lot like Gibson in that way. But he’s still a massive unknown. Nash likely won’t want to come to a team where he has to keep waiting. He’s been a very patient man for nearly 20 years. He deserves a ring, and while I’d LOVE to have him, I don’t know if we’re right.
