The Bulls first Pick is Joakim Noah, What will we do about our post problems? At least we are looking to become an even deadlier defense but we still need that 10 points in the paint type of scorer at the least.
definitely not happy about this pick, Spencer Hawes wouldve gave us what we needed. Also I was pissed that we missed marc gasol by one pick
I was disappointed that we didn't try to move up into the late first round and pick up Tiago Splitter. He's somebody I would have liked to see with the Bulls.I was initially upset with the Noah pick just because I had a certain dislike of him, but after looking it over I don't think there was anyone better we could have gotten. Noah should be ready to contribute right away for us. And he has hight, which is something we desperately needed.
It wasn't a surprise to me Noah was picked. I had been saying the last whole week that if Noah fell, the Bulls would take him, but no one seemed to believe me.
Its not a ideal pick at all, I was sure they were going to take Spencer Hawes..they have Ty Thomas, Ben Wallace and now Joakim Noah. All are athletic, energetic and defensive big men...but not any of them have any low post scoring...its a questionable pick, but maybe somehow Memphis can get him. Warrick for Noah is something I would do...and im a fan of Warrick.
Trade Noah for Spencer Hawes, do somthing Paxon, you know you made a mistake here.. everyone makes mistakes sometimes, you have to relise you made one! they needed a post player, so what do they do? they go get a foward who isn't neccerly a great back to the basket post player.

If Noah was avaliable, he was going to take him because he's has always been high on Noah. If he would have entered the NBA last season, Paxson was going to take him at 2. Paxson thinks he made the right deal, and got the player he wanted.
Look at the postiives, we have another defensive enforcer added to our roster after ben wallace slips. We can still sign someone in free agency also and he does add alot of depth to our frontcourt. but we HAVE to sign a post player and we'll be ready for a push towards the title.

If the Bulls are to get a post scorer this summer, it will most likely be through a trade.

I dont want to go into the 07 season with how it is currently although right now we are great depth-wise as I said.PG-Kirk Hinrich/DuhonSG-Ben Gordon/ThaboSF-Luol Deng/NocioniPF-Tyrus Thomas/NoahC-Ben Wallace/Noah
im sure paxson is going to try and make a trade with noah. And even if he doesn't paxson drafted another winner...
I wasn't shocked by the pick, but a bit confused. Hawes would have been a better fit for what the Bulls need. But Paxson is no fool.
ill pass on Grant Hill, he doesn't exactly fill any need that we have. Id rather go after Jamaal Magloire, he could at least give us some threat in the post.
