soxman352000 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Is anyone else sick of the fact that the Bulls don't even look like they can compete when they step out on the court. I see guys not being able to rebound, turing the ball over, stupid fouls, and bad defense. They let the Suns and other teams kick their ass up and down the court and it is getting sickening to watch. I'm tired of rebuilding I want the damn playoffs to be in Chicago for a change. So what direction do they need to go in? Who stays? And who goes? Can this team ever again achieve what it use toi have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 They have major talent, something they haven't had since MJ. Deng, Hinrich, Nocioni are all good NBA players. Curry and Chandler are becoming decent. With experience this team will be good. It's hard to win with 6 rookies. I play playoffs in 2 years.

ZoomSlowik Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hinrich, Gordon, and Deng are almost certainly going to stay. Those three guys look like they are a decent foundation. Nocioni and Duhon are affordable so they will probably still be around. I'm sure they will try to unload Davis or Harrington in a trade. They will probably keep Chandler or Curry, I don't think they can afford to deal/release both of them. One of the rumors on ESPN is a Curry deal with the Warriors that involves us giving up Curry and getting either Dunleavy, or Wilcox from the Clippers in a 3 team deal. I like the second option much more. He's played some center and has been pretty good, and would probably be better in the east. The Bulls should have a bunch of money to throw at a big name free agent. Two guys I would love to see here are Ray Allen or Michael Redd. I think either of these guys would help immensely because they are consistent scorers that can create their own shot (I'd personally rather have Allen because he seems to be slightly better than Redd in every area). Stromile Swift also might be an option. A lineup of Hinrich, Allen, Deng, Chandler, and Wilcox/Swift is a much better looking lineup, especially with Gordon, Duhon, Nocioni on the bench, plus the potential to get some help in the draft (maybe Chris Taft or one of the foreigners). Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I honestly have learned better then to try and expect anything from the Bulls anymore. It's going to be awhile before we have a playoff caliber team again. I can still go to a few games and enjoy myself. I do think that the players are not that bad. I think Paxton is doing as good a job as he can do under the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogs35 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 welcome to the curse of tim floyd. the bulls will not win a game until they get rid of all players that played under tim flyod. the horents have the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 even though this team hasnt won at all i have enjoyed watching them especially the rookies.... Chandler also has impressed me some and i think he is a definite keeper with a high possibility of averaging a double double next season but curry i think has to go.

Can this team ever again achieve what it use toi have? This team doesn't have a clue. 50%-70% of basketball is mental. This team has the bball iq's of a bunch of Jr. high kids. I really thought Scott Skiles was gonna make a difference for this team as far as playing hard for 48 minutes every single night, and playing smarter basketball. He's had no impact at all for this team. As far as what this team needs? I'm at a loss for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curry and Chandler are becoming decent. With experience this team will be good. It's hard to win with 6 rookies. I play playoffs in 2 years. We have some solid talent. But this is a league of stars, and we haven't had a superstar or anything close to one since you know who. Who's the go to guy on this team? Who's the guy that's gonna command the double team late in the game? Who's the guy that gonna get take and make the big shot? We don't have anybody like that. Curry and Chandler are becoming decent? In their 4th year's they're finally becoming decent? Dwight Howard is 18 and has had more impact for the Magic then Curry and Chandler have combined. Amare, who's in his 3rd season is leading the league in scoring. So if decent is all we're gonna get from these two then get them the hell out of here while you still can.

Unless the Bulls can sign a swingman like Redd or Allen or get a big man that can actually PRODUCE, I can't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is conditional that they keep their current young core (Hinrich, Deng, Nocioni, Gordon I guess). I think Pax will get it done. Watching this team everyday is frustrating and encouraging. The reason they lose is because they make so many rookie mistakes. You figure 2 years from now those will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 BWAHAHAHA, I'm going to hold you to that Dan. Unless the Bulls can sign a swingman like Redd or Allen or get a big man that can actually PRODUCE, I can't see that happening. Redd, allen, and ilgauskas are the main players the bulls should be going after. It's a shame that they only have enough for one max contract type player next year. Which all three will be next year.
