Thibodeau and Lebron

[Brewtown Andy]

  Do the Bulls have enough $ to sign Lebron and Ray Allen? 

The question becomes: How long of a contract do you give a guy turning 35 in July?

Yeah, I just knew Lebron was older than 25.

Yeah, I just knew Lebron was older than 25.

Not older than Greg Oden, though.

Probably not longer, either.

I'm with you there about age.  He can fall off fast.

but even so without him being able to drive,

Best Player + top 5 young pg + top 10 young center + good supporting cast.
With him they add: 3 point threat (bulls biggest lack) + Veteran Champion Leadership.  And all he has to do is stay deep and fire off threes and save his legs for postseason + he worked for the coach.  

I think he'll go for a reasonable market price.  And it would leave the team without any holes except for the possibility Thibodeau is a complete bust.  If they can afford him for 2 years that would be perfect.  He might try for three.
