Proof the Bulls will be a step-up defensively after bringing Thibodeau to town now a solid defensive player in Brewer.

Bulls still need to get an outside shooter for their starting lineup cause teams will just pack the paint against them, unless they plan on starting Korver

I am very happy about the Chicago Bulls picking up Ronnie Brewer. He's a great basketball player. He was my favorite Arkansas Razorback baseketball player a few years back.

EDIT: If you guys haven't seen him play before look at this video.

Brewer IMO would most likely be the starter for his defensive skills similar to when he was in Utah.

Yeah I figured Brewer would probably start. The Bulls better hope though that at least one of Rose, Brewer, or Deng develop a reliable 3 point shot/long range jumper cause teams will just be able to sag off them and force them into jumpers

Yeah Brewer is far from being known for his 3-pt game he's like a 23% career shooter from three. Unless he can pull off what Channing Frye last offseason. Spend the entire offseason developing a three-point shot.

Supposedly Rose is starting to get a 3-point game, and Deng some what has one, but no huge threat like Miller or Redick would be. We still need another 2 slot though, possibly T-mac for a min.

IMO Brad Miller should be coming back at a pretty affordable rate but he's not the "solution" just a nice bench player. Jamaal Tinsley or Earl Watson are possibilities as backups to Derrick Rose. Shannon Brown is a restricted FA otherwise I'd be interested for the right price.

I loved Big Bad Brad, but unfortunatly I don't see him coming back since we have Noah, Boozer, Taj, and Asik. He should though to mentor the three young big men.

Though he isn't a starter, perhaps the Bulls will bring back Roger Mason, Jr. to help with some outside shooting. Mason and Eddie House are two names that come to mind that are still available

Funny thing is the Bulls originally drafted Mason.
