It looks like Eddy Curry will miss the rest of the season, joining Luol Deng. The Bulls have role players who can fill their roles adequately, but then who will fill the roles of the role-fillers?
Even if they could, it'd be difficult for the Bulls to bring in a player late into the season. Unlike football where you can hide amongst the other 21 players or baseball where there is no system to learn, you are on the hot seat once you step out onto an NBA court. You have to be familiar with your own team system as well as that of the opposing team.
The Bulls had a good chance of making it out of the first round of the playoffs if their youthful enthusiasm hid their inexperience. Now things look grim. But, hey, they have proven all of us wrong before, and I hope they do it again.
