    Chi-Town fans will go crazy if they trade any of the Bulls' core players: Gordon, Tyson, Curry, Deng, Hinrich. This is a good young group that has improved tremendously. The only thing they're lacking is experience and that will come with time..

    umm.. come again?

    why not?

    apparently Kelvin Cato is not happy in Orlando and with the emergence of Dwight Howard, and the fact that they have Tony Battie... the Magic may try to unload Cato and his contract. Would a return to Houston be out of the question?

    Cato wants out of Orlando? If he could come back to us for a cheap price, why not? If the Magic will be fine with dealing him to us, I don't think a trade of our first round pick and Baker or Norris for Cato would be unfair to either team. The problem could be that his trade value is pretty high due to his expiring contract, but if we could get him in a deal that won't involve giving up our core 7 players, I don't see why not.

    I highly against trading away our first round pick. I mean, why bring in Cato if we can get someone of similar calibre in the draft? Examples are Ronny Turiaf or Wayne Simien. After a couple of years, they may even be better than Cato. Doesn't make sense to me.

    Proven. With rookies, there's always a bit of risk factor, meaning that they might never pan out. Even though some seniors are projected to be immediate help, look at Rafael Araujo, the eighth pick and a BYU senior who was expected to start and contribute immediately at center. He's been no help this season, and the unexpected weakness at the five hurt the Raptors badly. With rookies, you get a projection of how they will do; with proven NBA players, you know what they'll give you.

    And also if the trade Trip suggested really work, we can get rid of Baker and Norris. They don't bring much help to our squad. I kind of rethink that Mo taylor deal again.. If we had known Howard would be injured we would have kept Taylor.. At least he can rotate with Bowen to guard Nowitzki.

    I don't know exactly their difference. But Chinese always do not jump high as distinguishly as Americans or Africans do.

    No! We need the draft!
