Next years lineup as of this point... PG- Kirk Hinrich SG- Ben Gordon SF- Luol Deng/ Andres Nocioni PF- Tyrus Thomas C- Tyson Chandler
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">Tyrus is a lot stronger than Aldridge and his wing span makes him a better defender than Aldridge. Thomas would probably guard Howard better than Aldridge would. We can us Chandler on Howard if all else fails. We have a lot of cap space like I said before. We will likely sign Pryzbella, Nazr, or Ben Wallace in free agency. So we are good.</div> I was talking about the future though. Pryzbella, Nazr, or Ben won't be here when we win a championship. If Thomas is our starting PF at 6'8 in the future, he's not going to be Elton Brand. And we don't really want a perimeter PF. I don't think Thomas is stronger than Aldridge. Are really close though.

But, if we sign a big guy, do you think Thomas would be ahead of Chandler... you think Noc will get any time at PF, starting?

I love Aldridge don't get me wrong, but Tyrus and Davis dominated him during the tournament.
Good luck with Tyrus at power forward. Playing with his back to the basket is by far his biggest weakness and I don't see him being effective until he puts a good 15-20 lbs on. But I still think he will be a bust nethertheless.

But, I don't mind Thomas at all, just questions about what they would do with him.
All the so called experts on ESPN think this was a great move by Chicago... Hopefully their right. What month does Summer Leauge start?
So... Who do you guys think we'll take at #16 now? We got a 6'9 forward? from the trade. Will we get another big man?
I am somewhat happy now cause the rockets are in a position to get gay now. They are my 2nd fav team after the bulls.
Ronnie Brewer or Rodney Carney might be there at 16. I think we should now pull the trigger on the Philly deal Brewer will most likely be there if the Magic pass on him at 11.
I would have preffered gay to battier. I don't like this trade at all. So I haven't got 2 of the picks I wanted so far. Who do you think the bulls should draft with 16 pick? or trade?
So many good players slipping. This is going to be a good pick at 16. Brewer, Carney, Marcus Williams, Mardy Collins, Shannon Brown, etc. all avaliable.
so did we get aldridge or thomas? i watched the draft of aldridge and it said we're trading with portland....

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">We got Thomas....</div> umm....so did we just do a straight trade for thomas and aldridge? or was there more involved?
