Ok Guys... Devils Advocate here.

What if Deron's got something going for Chicago too? What if bringing in all these guys that Deron likes now, is just a ploy to bring Deron over when his years are up? He can walk in 2012, which is the same year Chicago can send out a qualifying offer....

I mean... really... he DID go to college in that area. Is this a Bill Paxon master plan?

John Paxson is no longer the guy in charge for the Bulls, and the University of Illinois is an hour and a half to two hours (depending on who is driving) from Chicago. Other than the Illini's yearly game at the United Center, I doubt D-Will spent much time in Chicago.

This doesn't make me any less worried.
 
They have rose. Chicago has no loyalty to the illini so rose is the hometown fav not dwill. Plus i dont think dwill really likes boozer cuz of how soft he is and selfish
 
I haven't checked out the Real Gm Bulls board in a while, now it's time to see what they're saying!
 
Yeah, I'd expect Korver to not be much different, but Brewer and Boozer were beneficiaries of the system, so there numbers may go down. I wouldn't expect them to beat Miami, Boston or Orlando or even Atlanta in a 7 game series.

Even if the Bulls didn't have D-Rose (which they do, rendering this particular discussion useless), Deron playing for the Illini would have no influence on his decision. Being from the Land of Lincoln, I can tell you that Chicago is basically seen as it's own entity. There is no love lost in either direction. Most of the state is rural, and has nothing in common with the Windy City. Basically anywhere farther than an hour south of Chicago is St. Louis Cardinals country, if that tells you anything. Not to mention, D-Will is from nowhere near Illinois. If I'm scared of Deron bolting (and I'm not, really) it's for Big D in a few years when Kidd retires...
 
i really think this bulls team is gonna be great in the eastern conference. not enough to compete with miami and orlando yet but they are indeed a darkhorse. bulls to me, over the past few years, have not been able to produce much on offense, while they were always great on defense. now that they brought two guys to input their offensive skills to a defensive minded team, they will be capable of winning 50+ games and top 4 seed in the eastern conference.
 
I'm really not too worried about Deron going to chicago anytime soon. I worked at a dorm on the U of I campus where coach Bruce Weber holds his summer basketball camps (he also stops by to host a radio show at least once every spring) and this past spring we talked and he said that he had talked to Deron and Deron had mentioned that he really can't stand Boozer so I can't imagine him wanting to follow him to chicago, even if his dodgeball buddy Kyle is there.
