This is a season that is unlike any other season the Chicago Bulls and their fans have encountered. Our great city and the personalities of sports radio seem to be fixated more on the off season and the trading deadline than the one that’s being currently played. They have every right to because it offers a free agent class that is unparalleled as far as the potential availability of game changing talent.

I say “potential” because there is no guarantee that Dwayne Wade, LeBron James or Chris Bosh ever hit the market. There are likely scenarios that they could all resign with their current teams, but the more exciting topic is the potential that they might not! Every single sports related program that covers the Bulls always fixate on the fact that we need to couple the promising star of Derrick Rose with a low post presence that can create havoc on the hardwood. I am a firm believer that while a dominant low post presence would be awesome, that this team could enjoy even more success with a particular shooting guard from Chicago that plays in Florida.

Inspiration comes in so many forms. Certain things resonate with us that don’t with others. We think some of the movies we have seen are the greatest movies ever when others can take it or leave it.  It’s not that they don’t appreciate our infinite wisdom and the depth of insight we possess, it’s simply because we are different.

We look alike, we talk alike and for the most part we act alike, we’ll leave that for a different discussion, but we come from different roads, different experiences in life that sets us apart from each other. That’s why we are so infinitely fascinated with people that are our opposites because it is foreign territory. It is a place we haven’t traveled instinctively.
