    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd rather have Batum than Sergio Rodriguez.

    The Bulls would not have traded Pippen in his prime for a #4 or #5 draft pick.

    Fuck that.

    Sergio is a pile of shit and Caldarone couldn't guard a fire hydrant.

    Rubio can't shoot or finish in traffic. He's a homeless man's Rondo.

    Dumbshit AssClown has no idea how to play Nic.

    My thoughts are that KP rejected the offer because he is holding out hope for that all star player, and might need Nic to get it done.

    I also wouldn't be surprised to hear that the Blazers floated that rumor out there to increase Nics trade value.....Not that I don't think the team loves him though

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Bulls wouldn't have traded a prime Pippen for a #1 pick, except in very rare years like when Shaq or Duncan were in the draft.

    As much as I love Batum, I'm not going to envision a Pippen-like ceiling (as I think Pippen, once defense is factored in, was a top-25 player of all-time), but there's only one player in this draft that I'd rather have over Batum: Wall. Cousins is the only other prospect who I think might have better potential than Batum...but he also has more bust potential.

    Fuck Gallo, Mayo and Gordon. High usage chuckers with no defense, questionable shot selection and ball-hogs in the case of Mayo and Gordon.

    Chad Ford is reporting Wes Johnson has moved up to #3, and that would explain why they went fishing for Batum. Behind Johnson, the talent level drops off at SF.

    Yup. Lots of 3/4s and guys with questionable handles (Aminu), questionable defense (Babbitt, Hayward) or questionable motor (George -- who is a true 3).

    Lots of guys who might be Tweeners too. Babbit played 4 in college, but no way he will make that in the pro's at 217 pounds.
