Can the Bulls win the NBA Central Division if they pull this trade off

Bulls would get

F/C Chris Bosh

Raptors would get

G Ben Gordon(sign and trade)
F Tyrus Thomas
16th pick 2009 Draft
27th pick 2009 Draft

Bulls starting 5

G Derrick Rose
G John Salmons
F Luol Deng
F Chris Bosh
C Joakim Noah

6th Man-G Kirk Hinrich

Could the Bulls possibly steal the Central from Cleveland with that trade?

No. Switch Gordon with Hinrich. If it is too big of a switch, add some cash.

With a Gordon sixth man, they have a great chance.

Nah man, everyone knows Gordon has bad shooting selection and he wants more money in this extension, anyway Bulls still have Salmons which is good, I think the Bulls will finish as 2nd behind Cavs.

Either way, they aren't getting past Cleveland, not even with Bosh^2

they can be 2nd place behind the cavs, there is no way cavs dont win their division next year, but i doubt that trade will happen cause bosh might go to NYK in 2010

Yeah. Even if they get Bosh and Wade, they aren't getting past Cleveland, especially if they get Kidd (unlikely).

The central division is still going to be tough for the Bulls even if they did make that trade. Detroit and Cleveland are always going to be strong compeitition.

Detroit will be great. I would definitely like to see what they do in the off-season. With Iverson's contract gone, Stuckey and Prince not even in their prime yet, Hamilton in the middle of it. Even without Billups, I don't think it's the end of their run.

I doubt it unless Cleveland makes a trade to clear cap space for LeBron such as the possible Shaq deal, and Shaq of course also would play below expectations. For now, the 2010 Central Division Championship is the Cavs' to lose. Detroit is right now looking forward to the 2010 offseason more than trying to make a run right now. Milwaukee looks like they will improve, but probably not enough to win the Division, and same for Indiana.

Indiana, for sure. They have the Most Improved Player in Danny Granger. I still think Cleveland is division Champs whether for 2009-2010. What the big difference will be is the 2010 summer, which will hold Wade, Bosh, and James as Free Agents. Possibly having them all in one Division.

Even with Bosh they arent' gettting past the Cavs dude.

I think they could get the three seed, of hell the East has been tough lately, they'd have to get past Orlando, Cleveland and Boston... with Bosh Bulls either get 3 or 4 seed and 2nd in Central.

They can get past the Celts (showed in first round) but not Magic or Cavs
