hammerhead johnson Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 01:48 AM) I still like Sweetney's potential if he works on his conditioning this upcoming offseason. Sweetney has the post moves to draw fouls and give us some much-needed scoring off of the bench. If he could lose 30 to 40 pounds, I wouldn't mind him sticking around.

Well, who available is better than Harrington. Nobody. There aren't many true centers in the NBA anymore. Harrington is a PF, at 6-9 250 lbs, he is fine there. The NBA is about athletes more so than ever and if Tyson could get anyhelp scoring downlow, I have no problem with him at the 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could lose 30 to 40 pounds, I wouldn't mind him sticking around. He is a good talent, but I think when you are that far down in Skiles' doghouse, you don't get out. I would expect him to be traded possibly at the deadline for the likes of an Al Harrington. Sweetney, one of the first round picks and Othello (just for salary purposes) would make sense for both teams. http://realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=2874425. Atlanta is going to lose Harrington to FA anyway, so this way they get a cheap PF that just needs conditioning to be a solid role player/regular. They also get a top 10 first round pick, which they can use to rebuild. The question is for Pax, do you risk losing the pick and upgrading for only the possibility of getting into the playoffs or wait and still possibly make the playoffs, but have two first round picks and risk not getting Al in FA this summer? If I was Pax, I wouldn't do any trades, Harrington would make us better this year, but we could't beat the Pistons, Miami or Cleveland in a playoff series.

So it is merely a coincidence that in the games chandler plays in the power forward position he is ridiculously more succesful than when he plays the center position i assume? This seems unlikely. Chandler has to play at the four if we want the best results possible out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already tried that this season with Chandler and Sweetney and it didn't work. I don't know how you are watching Bulls games and don't see that Chandler absolutely needs to be our PF.

whitesoxfan101 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 12:56 AM) I love watching the Pistons play. Same here. That starting 5 is 5 guys that can all play at an all star calibur level on defense, all pass well, 4 of them shoot well, very long, strong, and athletic. Those guys are pretty much unstoppable, heading for 2 out of 3 NBA titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinilaw08 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Didn't see this anywhere, but it's the latest from Sam Smith... as accurate as a weatherman. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...bulls-headlines Not really a trade that I see happening from the Celtics perspective, but it's a deal I would not mind to see the Bulls make.

SSH2005 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Did anyone see the Celtics playing the Timberwolves at Minnesota? Wally Szczerbiak made a bucket and drew a foul and proceeded to slap hands with ex-teammate Trenton Hassell. A few seconds later he started cracking up. It was pretty funny.

The Celtics need a point guard. They like Delonte West, but more as a shooting guard. So consider this proposal: Chris Duhon, who has shown he can run a team and make a three-pointer, local favorite Ben Gordon from Connecticut, Eric Piatkowski and Tim Thomas (who have expiring contracts) along with the Bulls' No. 1 pick for Pierce and Raef LaFrentz. Gordon can score almost as much as Pierce, the Celtics would get another first-rounder--give them the Knicks' pick if they want top-five protection--they get their point guard and save tens of millions of dollars by getting rid of LaFrentz's contract. And in Szczerbiak, they now have a scorer who can be popular with fans to replace Pierce. And where have they gone with Pierce? The deal also works for the salary cap. The deal would eat up all the Bulls' salary-cap room, but if you have the chance to get a player like Pierce who can carry a team for a quarter and draw a double team, you have to take a shot with the high-level complementary players the Bulls have. If the Bulls wait until summer, would Al Harrington be that player? I doubt it. And LaFrentz, albeit overpaid, can be a serviceable big man who can shoot outside. With Tyson Chandler playing as he has lately, the Bulls could really be one top player away with a lineup of Kirk Hinrich, Pierce, Luol Deng, Chandler and a Udonis Haslem power forward-type they might get in the draft or free agency. I like Pierce a lot but I'd rather obtain a better big man (center) via free agency. I want to make sure Chandler is playing PF next season.

How much money would we have been paying him and tyson to do the same thing?? Sadly, only one of them would be coming close to earning their pay... If you could have a C/PF combo who could get double - double's, and pick up about 3 blocks a game, I'm sure a lot of teams would like to have that. Although I've always rated Dalembert higher then most. He seems to be pickin it up in Philly over the past few weeks. And maybe it's time they thought about moving Iverson too. They've shown they can definitely live without him the past couple of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Bulls are getting drubbed. They just look awful. Turnovers galore. I guess if they were going to look bad, tonights the night it might as well happen since I don't think they had much of a shot against Dallas anyway. Bulls have just thrown the ball everywhere (leading to a ton of turnovers and easy fast break buckets already). Plus offensively we look horrid. Malik Allen decided he should take this long ass jump shots and we are missing any open shot that pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really surprised at how bad we're getting molested. On the bright side, how unbelievably bad are the Knicks? Losing by 25 going into the 4th quarter against the Lakers? After getting blown out last night by the 11-31 Atlanta Hawks? That pick we're gonna get will indeed be a high one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
