Who do you see being on the team next year and who will be axed from this list or traded to another team. I like all the guys on this list, but I can tell a few will be waived like Paul Shirley imo will be. Dont think that Johnson will be on the team next year though I think he is a good player. I heard that gill already committed to signing with the pacers as well. I think that crawford will of course be traded to the knicks imo. For possible a deal to get someone in return like a mutombo and others. I hope they dont take harrington the bulls are stacked at the power forward spot they dont need another one. Anyway your thoughts on next years team.
I dont like Paul Shirley either, I dont know why.. I saw him play some garbage minutes in a game the bulls were winning *surprise*surprise* and he was missing open jumpers that were like 8 feet from the net. I think Linton Johnson should return, he is horribly underrated and you dont need to run plays for him because he can take the rebounds and work something out. JYD needs to get more minutes for sure, he is boy and works his guys out there, he was a rising star on the Toronto squad until he got traded and lost all of his minutes in Chi-Town. All in all here is who I think will be to the squad next year..

IMO this is what we're gonna see: Tyson Chandler Jamal Crawford Eddy Curry Antonio Davis Luol Deng Chris Duhon or Jannero Pargo (I really don't know what decision they're gonna make for the final cut) Ben Gordon Kirk Hinrich Chris Jefferies Linton Johnson III Eddie Robinson Jerome Williams And if the Crawford trade goes down... Tyson Chandler Dikembe Mutumbo Shandon Anderson Eddy Curry Antonio Davis Luol Deng Jannero Pargo(With Crawford gone, we'll badly need his scoring) Ben Gordon Kirk Hinrich Chris Jefferies Linton Johnson III Othella Harrington
The main one I can think of not being there is Jamal Crawford. Him being traded, to me, is inevitable, it's going to happen. The people I can see being there from that roster, cause I don't know exactly what they could get from NY for Jamal. Hinrich Gordon Deng Chandler Curry Jeffries Davis Williams Crawford (cause I don't know who's involved in the trade) Johnson Robinson Pargo (or Duhon) That's my thought. Granted it will change when Crawford gets traded, but, with the current roster, that's my thought.
