The Grizzlies didn't want to deal with the Bulls and the other option was Courtney Lee. And Asik is more valuable than him. There weren't many options unless you wanted Anthony Parker. But I agree that the Bulls desperately need to add a 30-minute-per-game shooting guard. I love Brewer, but he score off the dribble and help create for Derrick. I am beginning to think that Iman Shumpert will be drafted by the Bulls. He is blowing up right now so may not be there. Fathom where are you? Would he big a good fit w/ Rose? I like his size, length and athleticism. Edited May 27, 2011 by maggsmaggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not confident in the front office's ability to pull off a big deal for a big name player. The last two big name players the Bulls signed (Wallace and Boozer) have turned out like crap and I don't even remember the last time the Bulls made a blockbuster trade (unless you somehow count the Salmons and Miller trade).

Yes, the Bulls love Shumpert and it was the main reason he declared for the draft. His combine numbers were as good as anyone's seen in a long time. He'd be a great fit as a defensive point guard off the bench. His shooting isn't very good, but he's a great passer and someone who will flourish under better coaching. I simply am stunned that more experts don't have him as a first round pick. If I had to pick between Shumpert or someone like Darius Morris, it would be an easy decision.

I am not completely sold on that either, but this is the first time the Bulls actually have good looking assets to trade. Noah is pretty valuable. We have a lot of expiring contracts that are attractive. And the rights to the Charlotte pick which is gonna be in the lottery. So while we haven't done it in the past, I think we can in the future. But first this whole CBA thing has to get resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read the scouting report on the guy, he looks like a great fit for that 30th pick, assuming he's still available at that pick after his great combine numbers.

What's the chance the Bulls take him, develop him as a PG and let Rose run more like a SG on offense? Because Shumpert obviously has the size to guard 2s.

They liked him last year, during this season, and that was before his impressive combine. The Lakers also like him, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris has some character concerns. He was not a good influence in the Michigan locker room apparently. I watched a lot of Michigan play last year, and Morris is a very good passer but provided little in terms of scoring (with regards to translating to an NBA offense).

fathom Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Shumpert is a great, very personable kid. He was unfortunate enough to play for a terrible coach, but I was blown away by his improvement from last year to this year. Just ask UNC fans what they think of Iman Jordan. Like I said earlier, there's no doubt in my mind he can be an elite defender in the NBA. He destroyed James Anderson in the Tournament a few years ago.

He had great form on his shot, but always shot a low percentage due to Paul Hewitt's Clogged Toilet Offense. When he was open and didn't have to rush his shot, he was pretty pure. His biggest issue was turnovers, as he would get sloppy trying to do too much on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
