Nice... Basically from what I'm seeing he's basically gonna replace what Tyson used to give us with a much cheaper contract. Always nice to have an energy guy, but if both Noah and Hawes are there Pax will likely take Hawes, cause this is our last realistic shot at an inside scorer barring a trade. But Noah and Skiles were made for eachother.
<div class="quote_poster">Ed! Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">But Noah and Skiles were made for eachother.</div> I completely agree. Noah is the type of player that Skiles loves. Honestly with all the rumors and stuff I don't think Noah will be there at 9 anyway.
If it so happens that we draft Noah, so be it, I will welcome him with open arms. The guy brings passion, energy, and a winning attitude to the team. Although, I would prefer to take a guy like Brandan Wright if he were to fall, like some mocks are projecting, I would not be upset if we did end up taking Noah. Ultimately I have a feeling we will be one of the teams that might trade out our first round pick for some veteran help come draft day, if the right deal comes along.
I rather have Wright, Hawes, or Yi before I took Noah, but if he does end up with the Bulls I can't do anything about it. We took Tyrus over Alridge last season and I hope we don't take Noah before any offensively capable big man.
