Chisoxfn Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That deal is completely unrealistic but if it were to happen, I'd be completely on board. Pau is a very very good player and is both an offensive and defensive upgrade over Boozer. That said, I don't think Boozer is near as bad as most people would say but Pau is far better (imo). To get him for Boozer + Watson would be a great move. I realize Watson is a very good backup pg, but I don't think we are losing a ton. If Rose isn't healthy, this team doesn't win a title, so while it is great to have that depth, the reality is, with Rose playing a lot, the Bulls can get by without Watson. However, in stretches where Rose is hurt in the regular season, we'd be at a big disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) No, just Derrick Rose. Rose is not the point guard Deron Williams is. Williams and Boozer ran a pretty effective pick n pop game in Utah. I don't think Fisher/Blake would do much for Boozer's declining game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Watson was traded, I dont think it would be a huge dropoff between Watson and James. The problem is always the dropoff between the backup PG and Lucas.

Balta1701 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wennington suggesting Rose was either missing a little explosiveness or was a little bit tentative early, but sounds like he just started opening it up as the Bulls made this first run.

I'm just saying if he was traded away I would be comfortable with James as the primary backup, that's all. Anything but Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except if you actually READ the article (and not the headlines or spinoff rumors), it's clear that the rumor was started from Marca.com, which is less reputable than Sheridan himself. The only quote in the article that Sheridan got himself is from an unnamed source that said that Rose wouldn't have a problem with the Bulls trading for Gasol. Everything else (including the absurd idea that Boozer and Watson for Gasol might be enough) was pure speculation. It's a garbage article, just like 95% of the s*** that gets put up these days around the trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
