The New York Knickerbockers have the sixth worst record in the NBA so according to the principles of math, we would get the sixth pick in the draft accordingly. Who do you guys think the Chicago Bulls should take? Their lineup with everyone healthy isG: Kirk HinrichSG: Ben GordonSF: Luol DengPF: Andres NocioniC: Ben WallaceHonestly, I don't see a real big weakness in any of these positions but there obviously is because we aren't ranked one in the NBA. I would say that we should get Corey Brewer because he is a great defender and if you think about it, he fits in pretty well with the Bulls style of play. In my eyes, he will not become an all-star in this league (at least in Chicago), but I think he will be one of those very solid players that gives you 100% effort for every minute he plays.Although, I am a bit skeptical about how Scott Skiles would utilize him if we did happen to draft him. He is somewhat like Thabo Sefolosha and Thabo did not play a whole lot but maybe that is just because we have more depth at the guard position than we do forwards. Skiles also didn't use Tyrus until the season started to wind down and we now see that Tyrus has been outstanding when he plays. Given the right minutes, he is capable of a double-double every night. What I am trying to say is I think we need to get Corey Brewer because he seems like the type of player that will fit the Bulls and he is very talented however, how Skiles would use him is debatable.
Spencer Hawes would be a very good fit for the Bulls. He has a polished inside game, (which is the Bulls main need) and also is a very good passer. He is compared to Brad Miller on NBAdraft.net, and they need that type of player.I like Brewer as a player, but the Thabo pick would be a waste if they were to take him.... I do think Brewer is better than Sefolosha, but it wouldn't be worth it to take him and pass on a guy like Hawes or Hibbert IMO, who are players the Bulls really need.
Brewer, another Small forward????? the last thing we need is another small forward. We are stacked at that position. Deng, Noc, Thomas, Victor, Griffin, even Thabo can play that position.
Probably a Centre. Ben Wallace nad PJ Brown is getting old and isn't much like his days in Detroit. so probably a C would be a better fit for the team in the long run.
The Bulls have like ULTIMATE college team ever.Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, Michael Sweetney (doesn't do much in the NBA though), Deng, etc....this team is REDICULOUSLY armed for the future.
If we could trade up for oden, id pretty much lock as a dynasty team or if we get very lucky and get first overall pick. I doubt it but keep your fingers crossed.

no way anyone trades that 1st pick to get #6 unless we trade gordon deng and pick.. which would be sooo stupid ...so lets jus hope luck happens

They already have a pretty good team.It may sound crazy but Hibbert? I know it's kinda crazy to pick him at 6 but he's a scorer and it seems like the Bulls do have a pretty good conditioning program (as seen with Eddy Curry as a Bull).
As far as I know, the lottery hasnt occured yet so we have a good chance to get the 1st pick or near the 1st pick.
The Bulls get have no scoring threat from down low at all, and if they want to be championship contenders, they need to get someone that can provide a decent scoring threat in the post to provide some balance on the court and open up more scoring room for Hinrich, Gordon, Deng and Nocioni. I think Horford would be a great pick up for the if they could, a decent athlete, good defensive player, and can score from the interior as well as hit the 15 foot mid-range shot with some degree of consistency. If they get a chance at him, that would be my pick if I was them.
This year there will likely be a lot of big free agents to look through, if we really wanna compete for a championship we should try to get one of them and maybe draft us a future center(moreso then a post player) because we are really short of depth at C and Ben Wallace is only getting older, also this may be our last early round pick for a while so it will be very important we get a great player to complete our future core.
This year, the only real free agent big men, that can score in the post and will stretch the defense are going to be Chris Webber and Antonio Mcdyess. Past them, there are not any other low post players coming out, that will provide a little bit of balance on the court through scoring this year. Both of them two are going to probably be hard to get in the future, so the Bulls are going to have a hard time getting that guy through free agency.That's why I think, if they get a good pick, they should look into Al Horford who is ready to step in right away and start playing right away as well as will be there for the future in the post. He would be a great one to put together with the core of this team, and will help this to be a great team in the upcoming future. I also like Roy Hibbert as another option for them, who is a true center, and can score in the post well. He has nice footwork, I especially like his drop step, he has a perfect drop step. He is also a very good passer for a big man out of college, and will provide defense. His conditioning will be a problem though.
