If the bulls hope on going anywhere in the playoffs a trade has to be done soon. Its kinda sad to see that we lost to a team with out a big man. Paxson needs to work something outPlayers that I woulnt mind see get traded areDuhon NocPJTyursSweetsKnicks Pick ThaboI know paxson can work a deal out somewhere with these guys. Cause truth have it ..... After We resign Gordon and Deng...... Who else are we gonna sign? we cant bring them all back.
Lol, the Bulls are not trading Tyrus and Thabo and I don't know why you wouldnt mind them being traded. With the body of work or lack there of how can you even say that when they haven't gotten the minutes? Skiles would rather play Malik freaking Allen and Adrian Old man Griffin than play Tyrus or Thabo.
Skiles is playing his vets for the reasons that Thabo and Tyrus would make rookie mistakes. I also don't think PJ will be going anywhere as his contract expires so we can resign our younger players in the near future....
The Bulls still lack a reliable low-post scorer... they need to find that inside-out balance. The Pistons were good but they were truly champions when they got Sheed... Bulls need to make that kinda move to make serious run in the playoffs. To get a player of KG's caliber, the Bulls would almost certainly need to include the Knicks pick and Ben Gordon and probably another young player.

what makes you think we have to trade. Gordon? or even deng?IF kg demands a trade which he might not . They will have 2 take what we givin them.. You really think Philly wanted Miller and joe smith for iverson... NOBut if we was to offer PJ. Sweets Duhon Noc and pick.. That isnt to bad.
True..I would like to see us go for Gasol though. He would definitely help us out a lot and we wouldn't have to get rid of many players. We would get to keep at least one of our better players...probably duhon if we were offering those same players you mentioned earlier and Gasol is also about 4 years younger so that always helps out a little.
Yeah but being hes younger they might want more... maybe Deng or gordon... IF we get a big player I want to keep gordon and deng.. I would love to see these guys play with a big man that gets doubled... Being Gordon and Deng score 20points now and they have to work for it.. just think how much better they will be if they are open most of the time cause "KG or Pau or Zac " is getting doubled alot
Philly had no choice but to trade him... because... AI asked for a trade? As soon as the word is out around the L, other teams know they have to trade him away... the player's value drops like a bird egg from its nest. That's why teams wish their star players never publicly ask for a trade, where they can do it behind the closed doors. Even if KG asks for a trade... the Wolves won't settle for Duhon, Nocioni, PJ Brown and pick. For one, there's not enough talent to compensate what KG brings. At 30, he's still a superstar player, one that can bring a team as talented as the Bulls over the top. Knowing this, no way Wolves are going to settle for less. They'd ask the Bulls for at least Gordon because he's their most talented young player or Hinrich, a steady PG who can be in their long-term plan or a great trade bait for their next move. Basically McHale would say to Paxson, "do you want to win the championship this year? If you want there's a price."P.J.'s contract is nice, but it's only nearly half ($9 mil) of KG's and it wouldn't be so appealing to the Wolves (and it makes me wonder what in the world is Philly thinking trying to buy Webber out when they can offer his expiring contract to next season for KG!!!). Personally I think they'd go for at least $12-15 worth of expiring contracts, a young talent (Gordon/ Hinrich) and a pick.^ And no way Bulls are giving up BOTH Gordon and Deng for KG. The idea is to at least retain one of their two top scorers and pair him with KG and the rest of Bulls making the team a very nice mixture balance of defense and offense.
Well you gotta remember paxson isnt dumb either. KG is 30 years old .. How many more years do you think he has where he can still be top 5 PF in the nba?? I dont see why they would want gordon when they have davis and foye.. They didnt even want to trade that kid for iverson.. So I dont think they would get a player to replace him. Also I think paxson likes kirk to much to trade him. Skiles loves him I know that for sure. and im sure every bull fan knows that as well.Also to get KG it might have to be a 3team deal.. I mean Bulls can trade... Tyrus Noc PJ Sweets Duhon Knicks pick, which can be top 10 if they dont make the playoffs.I dont know maybe philly can get in this trade somehow where they give up webber to the Wolves.. Im sure they would love to get PJ and Webber. I doubt philly would care what they get cause they want to buy out webbers contract anyway.
looks like we are in a slump again. Im started to get tired of watchin this guys play. something has to be done. New lineup Maybe skiles should let kirk know hes not doing good right now by benching him for a game .
He played great yesterday..I don't think it will happen now. His offensive game has been bad..but the Bulls can use his defensive game which is why he would probably never get benched.
