2011 NBA Power Rankings IN-DEPTH



5. The Chicago Bulls
        The Bulls brought some life back into the NBA. The young kid Derek Rose had himself a nice season that really displayed his ability to lead the team. J. Noah had a breakout season and brings energy to the floor. It became clear that this team had playoff potential but it was the same comments. "If only they had another player, a all star. The Bulls made some smart decisions and got the Utah Jazz roster (Boozer,Korver,Brewer). The Bulls made the playoffs but lost in 5 games to the Cavs [wait what team is that, I forget]. This team could make a harder push now with their offseason signings. They need to change somethings though.

   1) Rose Steps Up
   -Derrick Rose was far more effective in Game 3 for Chicago than he had been in Games 1 and 2 against Cleveland.

      2) Luol Deng and Joakim Noah
     - Deng and Noah are not the Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman of the Bulls but try are good enough to suffice. They played a good game and has a good season. With the addition of Boozer, Noah will continue to grow and mature.

Team Roster
NO. NAME.                       Salary      
3 Omer Asik $1,721,000
5 Carlos Boozer    $14,400,000
11 Ronnie Brewer $4,750,000
9 Luol Deng        $11,345,000
22 Taj Gibson        $1,117,680
16 James Johnson        $1,713,600
26 Kyle Korver        $5,000,000
13 Joakim Noah $3,128,536
1 Derrick Rose $5,546,160
40 Kurt Thomas         $1,800,000
0 C.J. Watson $3,600,000


Bottom Line: This roster is good and young. Even though I have now clue who Omer Asik is and why he is making a million bucks, money that should be going to Tracy Mgrady, the Bulls have great team. They should win many games this season and make some noise in the playoffs
