You might have to be open to packaging him with Gordon, which I am if we're drafting Rose. And you don't necessarily have to make the move before the draft.

SoxFan1 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Kirk Hinrich + Drew Gooden + Tyrus Thomas for Elton Brand + Brevin Knight Rose - Thabo - Deng - Brand - Noah w/ Gordon off the bench = sickness. http://realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=4605077 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm just relieved they didn't fall out of the top 2. Beasley is a great consolation prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand, Noah, and Gray are your 3 big guys, which means that Noc will spend an awful lot of time at PF just because we don't have any other choice. The other thing I kinda half dislike about it is that it doesn't solve our back court log jam, because we still have 3 shooting guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could just let him walk after this year. Brand has an opt-out clause in his contract and is an ideal candidate for some team to do a sign and trade if they have the right deal. Gordon is a RFA this offseason, and therefore, the Bulls would be smart to use him as a valuable tradeable asset if they think they can get something for him, otherwise they need to sign him.

Probably not, but the options right now with the Bulls are just plentiful and getting the #1 pick only adds to it. You've got to choose Rose or Beasley, you've got to unclog the Kirk/Duhon/Thabo/Gordon/Hughes/Rose? clusterf***, you need to add a PF you can count on, and you still need a head coach. It's going to be quite the summer for the Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gordon could be deadly effective playing in the right situation. Just not in a half court, defense first, slowed down offense with no key post player and no #1 option, like he's been in the last few years. Hell, if D'Antoni and Rose had both come to the Bulls, he might well have been dynamite. Because his liabilities on defense might have just been hidden.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 After listening to Terry Boers talk about just how much he would give up for the no. 1 pick this year, this is all the more unreal.

There are obvious holes in Ben's game, but the fact remains that he can shoot the lights out, get hotter than hell, and carry a team offensively when he does. I'm not sure what Pax wants to do, and maybe bridges with Ben have been burned, but the guy is still young and valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
