So much diverse, young talent for this Chicago Bulls team. Who cares if you guys are 6 games under .500, if you make the playoffs or not, your franchise is looking so solid for the future. Not to mention you guys have New York's 1st rd pick and that will definately help you get a big man to replace the holes left by Antonio Davis and Ed Curry. You guys have Hinrich, who is a bright playmaking PG, Deng who is a beast defensively at SF, along with offensive capabilites, clutch combo guard in Gordon, nice rebounding PF/C in Chandler, good PG in Duhon to back up Kirk, hard-nosed defender in Nocioni, and nice veteran in Othella. I expect this team to do some serious damage in the future, and I think you guys will steal Philly's playoff spot at the end of the season.
We have young talent, but we're all jump shooters, until we get a legitimate low post threat(most likely we'll settle that in draft-free agency) we'll be a great team. You can only win so many games with no low post scorer, look at the Bucks of last year, but at least we play defense.
From what I've seen this year, Bulls have just blown games at the end, with mental lapses. I think that will evaporate with further experience, but Bulls still need a offensive big man. Last night Bulls had to play Songalia over Chandler to catch up, but it as well hurt their defense with no shot blocker. But with that said, Bulls had Curry to pair with Chandler, who was a offensive center, and they still weren't a top team. So I question if that's the only thing they need.

Did you see that 30 point comeback and that Janero Pargo shot in last years playoffs? Until Horry in game 5 that was easily the biggest play of the season. Too Bad Artest hit one right after, but we're very good at finishing games, at least as far as comebacks. Hinrich,Gordon,and Pargo are all really clutch, last night was one of the few games we blew we had won, but we did come back from 25 point deficit so that's not relevent.As far as Curry, Curry is offensively good but he constantly turns the ball over(note that Bulls turned over ball more then anyone last season, now the knicks do. coincidence?) And he cannot rebound or play defense at all, and anyway we had 3rd best record in the east. Say we get Aldridge(and he's not bust, say 15/8) We'll be a 50 win team likely.
