Chisoxfn Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'll take it. A win is a win. Jimmy Butler made some pretty big plays down the stretch for the Bulls. He's getting some valuable minutes right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Loved Brewer's play tonight. He looked really aggressive pushing the ball up the court getting his own shots and finding the open man. For a while, I thought I saw the additional playmaker we need next to Rose. Gibson was beasting on the boards tonight, but the Knicks are just too soft to compete on the glass.

thxfrthmmrs Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 If I were the Bulls, I would trade the Charlotte pick while it has some value. Charlotte will finish with the worst record this year, they will almost certain to land either Davis, Barnes, or Drummond, and perhaps another top 5 selection in 2013. They will be a force in the East by 2015. A core of Biyombo, Anthony Davis, Henderson, Kemba Walker (and bless not Shabazz Muhammad) is and excellent core to build on.

The only sure fire real deal is Davis and even with worse record chances are they don't get him, add in the fact of Jordan's basketball decisions not too worried about Bobcats being good in near future.

chw42 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) Why would the Bulls make the Celtics trade? That's just pure stupidity I think. Seriously, why would the Bulls take on Pierce and Garnett for Boozer, Deng, and Asik? I know Boozer's a declining player, but Garnett and Pierce are declining even faster. Garnett is an expiring, but I honestly don't see how that trade helps the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get Davis, a trio of him, Biyombo and Henderson will make them excellent defensive unit already, that team could be something special. But I like Barnes a lot too, he will not be a superstar, but his scoring potential will make him an all star in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I can dig the KG Pierce trade, if it goes through you'd have to think Thibs had some input in it and he'd think we'd be better off, with those 2 bein his guys for several years. I especially like it after seeing both Brewer and Butler play so well today. You've got Pierce this year and next (right?) and by then I really think Butler, under thibs and working with all these good players, will be ready to start, and if hes not you got the Pierce money off the books to get a new SF (or give it to Brewer). Then you have Garnetts expiring contract, so youve got Garnett for this year then either Taj next year or you use Garnetts money to sign another PF. This year youve got Rose-CJ Rip-Brewer-Korver Pierce-Korver-Butler KG-Taj Noah- Rasheed Wallace I know Sheeds viewed as more of a PF but he's 6'11, him and Taj can work together. It also keeps him away from Miami who he's worked out with. I think the Bulls would have the upper hand since Sheed has played with/for KG, PP and Thibs on a Eastern Conference Champion team. Then next year I'd love to see Rose-Watson E. Gordon-Brewer-Korver Pierce-Korver- Butler Taj-Mirotic (hopefully) Noah-FA/draft pick Or if KGs contract + an amnestied Rip contract doesnt equal Gordon then I'd like something like Rose-Watson Mayo-Brewer-Korver Pierce-Korver-Butler Taj-Mirotic Noah-Hawes Once again If this trade were to happen I think itd be what Thibs wants and in Thibs I trust.

SoxFan1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Was Gerald Green's dunk posted on here? That might be one of the most impressive athletic dunks I've ever see. He was looking down into the rim. It seemed like his hangtime was forever. Unbelievable. Much better than Griffin on Perkins IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Quite an interesting day in trade rumors. Seems as if there's a bit of focus on a 3 team deal between the Magic, Bucks and Warriors. In short, the Magic get Monta Ellis, the Warriors would get Andrew Bogut, and the Bucks would also get pieces. There's also rumors going around if Bogut is dealt Brandon Jennings is likely to be traded also (as he won't re-sign with the Bucks long - term). Apparently Anderson and Redick would go to MIL, and there's a chance Orlando may get Ilyasova or Dorrell Wright back in a deal also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 07:21 PM) I don't know if I'd want Bogut if I was Golden State. In an uptempo system definitely not. But in Mark Jackson's "slowball New York Knicks in the early 90's offense", I think he makes some sense to them. Argubly he's a better 1 on 1 defender than Howard is actually. But Howard's a more effective shot blocker. But Bogut's also very injury prone so it's a risk. The Magic will probably add Hedo and take back Stephen Jackson and maybe one of GSW's bad contracts such as Biedrins in a deal also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Charlotte Pick is almost certain to increase in value with time rather than decreasing. Not just because Charlotte could get better...but because the pick is likely so far away. Take the Magic right now, for example...the Magic don't want to commit themselves to rebuilding through the 2016 draft. If they lose Howard, yeah, they could go through a rebuilding process, but they'd probably love to have themselves in a solid position by 2014, and even at that point that pick could be a few years away. It's an asset, but it's an asset that is so far away that even teams who could use it wouldn't think it has much use to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 DR1 rips refs. "I've gotta be the only superstar in the league that's going through what I'm going through right now," the reigning MVP said. "But I can't say too much about it." Rose shot 12-of-29 from the floor for his game-high 32 points, but went to the foul line just nine times, sinking six and repeatedly showing his displeasure toward the officials at non-calls. "How many times did I shoot today?" Rose asked. "I'm the point guard." Asked what he was thinking on a particularly ferocious dunk to put the Bulls ahead by seven midway through the fourth quarter, Rose said he "kinda blacked out. I was probably mad because I wasn't getting calls all game. That was probably the reason why." Told he may get fined by the league for his comments, Rose was again uncharacteristically defiant. "I could care less right now," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
