Not sure about the Noah/Ellis thing. I like Ellis, but he isn't a perfect fit on the Bulls whatsoever, and losing Noah would hurt a lot.

 

There is no perfect fit at the SG outside of Kobe Bryant. But Ellis would more than suffice for me. But not at the cost of Noah. I don't put much stock in this rumor.

My problem is...we already lost Noah for about 2/3 of the season.

 

He was absolutely dominant that first month. We'd have been screwed on the circus trip without him. After that hand injury, his dominant games were at best few and far between. I mean, we benched him down the stretch against the Heat repeatedly...and he deserved to be benched.

 

The Noah post-injury is moderately effective, sometimes. The Noah pre injury was constantly a beast. The post injury Noah I'd happily trade. The pre injury Noah, I'd give up if I were getting Howard back.

What?

 

People keep looking for the perfect 2-guard. Let's face it: after Wade and Kobe, the position is not that strong. You've got scorers who can't defend and vice versa. I'd rather have a scorer and hope that under TT and his system that they can become average defenders (think Ray Allen, Paul Pierce or even Luol Deng) than another year of Keith Bogans and his 6 PPG or another offensively-challenged SG.

Very true, and there is only like one true 2 guard coming out in the draft. Not an easy position to fill.

Teams calling Sacramento about the #7 pick are being told it's already been moved. Problem is, no one knows to who, or for which player.

 

Maybe to the Spurs?

Just goes to show you the consensus when it comes to how this draft is viewed. Easily the weakest since 2000.

 

Beasley could also be in the deal.

Milwaukee has a three-way deal with Charlotte and Sacramento, sources say.

 

Stephen Jackson is going to Milwaukee.

No one is saying we need a superstar SG to improve the team. There are a lot of guys who would be perfect fits with the Bulls. Arron Afflalo, for example, is a PERFECT fit.

Isn't Denver trying to lock him up? And I want to shoot higher than Afflalo. Rose/Ellis would be the most explosive/dynamic backcourt in the league.

They would also give up 60 points a game.

Go back a number of pages and read Zoom's post about why Ellis isn't a great fit. He said it better than anyone else could. The NBA isn't all about scoring. Would I like it if we could get Ellis? Yes. Would it be optimal? No. But it also depends on the price.
