Chicago Bulls

Is there another team in the NBA that needs offense worse than the Chicago Bulls? They finished the 2013-14 season as the lowest scoring team in the NBA, at just 93.7 per game. Sure, they play a slow, plodding game but even their offensive rating was 102.5, only better than two other teams in the NBA.

Anthony would pair with Joakim Noah to provide a dynamic one-two punch in the frontcourt. Noah, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, could help cover up some of Anthony’s defensive deficiencies, allowing Anthony to play his man tighter than he would have with the Knicks. With a strong anchor behind him, Anthony wouldn’t have to sag as much and wouldn’t need to worry about not getting help.

Offensively, the Bulls have been missing that offensive spark ever since Derrick Rose went down with his first knee injury back in Game 1 of the 2012 Eastern Conference playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers. The combination of a healthy Rose, Anthony and Noah would rival any trio in the game.
