No way - I think Chicago would have been a far better situation for Lebron.

Wade/Bosh/Lebron had very overlapping skill sets. The 4th-best player was Haslem, yet another 4. No meaningful members (other than Haslem and Wade) had played together. And lacking any sort of center/point guard was an enormous gap on that team.

Chicago, on the other hand, had fantastic established young talent at the point and center and solid depth everywhere.

Derrick Rose (21): Averaged 21-4-6 on 49% shooting the previous year, looked great in the playoffs, everyone knew he was a star.
Luol Deng (24): 18-7-2 on 47% shooting, had a three-point shot, fantastic two-way player.
Lebron (25) 28-7-7 kind of guy
Carlos Boozer (28): 20-11-3 guy on 56% shooting the previous year (not on Bulls yet, but they knew they could sign him) - or Bosh if they could have made that happen
Joakim Noah (24): 11-11-2-1-2 guy on 51% shooting the previous year and strong defense

How is that not the best roster in the NBA? They have scoring in the frontcourt and backcourt both, dominant defense at center and swingman both, a shooter, immediately would have been the best rebounding team in the league, no weakness at any position. The only problem I saw back then was that Rose and Lebron both wanted the ball in their hands, but that was a problem with Lebron/Wade too. And look how young they are - everyone but Boozer was just going to keep getting better.

Then on the bench, they had a great frontcourt guy (Taj Gibson, 9/8/1 the year before and only 24), and had the flexibility to sing a couple shooters.

And Thibs was a new coach, but he was highly regarded and no one thought anything of Spolstra.

As long as Rose and Lebron could have coexisted, I think Lebron would have absolutely beasted for Chicago. The weaknesses on Miami's roster were so much more apparent. Lebron also would have taken pressure off of Rose...which may have kept him healthier.

Boozer couldn't even play in the 4th quarter in close games because dude wears fukking cement shoes and colors his hairline in with a black marker

But Thibs is holding the offense back.

2015 - last season under Thibs - 11th best offense
2016 - first season without Thibs - 25th best offense

Let's forget he had them competing without rose helped put noah in postion to win dpoy. Had nate and dj agustin looking more than throw away players too. Main reason we lose to Mia and Was was lack of scoring depth
