Please, no Eric Gordon. That'd confuse the shit outta me.</p> "Bulls' Gordon scores again"...which one??? Pick up OJ or Beasley.</p>
Chicago Bulls (49-33) Selections: 9, 49, 51 Returnees: Gs Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Chris Duhon, Thabo Sefolosha; Fs Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas; C Ben Wallace. Prominent Free Agents: F P.J. Brown, F Andres Nocioni (restricted). Assets: Deng and Gordon are knocking on the door of All-Star status. GM John Paxson wisely decided not to move any of his players in a bid for Pau Gasol at the trade deadline, but now with the value of Deng and Gordon, he has some big decisions to make before he opens the coffers and rewards those players. He also has to decide what to do with Nocioni, who could start for most teams. Hinrich is a top-notch NBA point guard and Wallace still has an effective year or two left in him at center. Needs: The Bulls clearly need Thomas to develop quickly as a big-time rebounder so their reliance on Wallace is reduced. The team still needs a low-post scoring option. If Brown retires, Paxson is going to have to get creative, with a possible sign-and-trade of Nocioni for frontcourt help. Even if Brown stays, the Bulls still need to fortify their frontcourt, as Michael Sweetney clearly did not deliver as they had hoped. Options: Chicago's trade of Eddy Curry to the Knicks included the option of switching first-round positions with New York, and the Bulls chose to exercise that option this year. It's rare that a team as good as Chicago gets a shot at the ninth pick. Few GMs have been as smart as Paxson at acquiring players who fit with the Bulls. A player like Yi Jianlian of China has excellent offensive potential but might be two years away from contributing on a steady basis. Anything the Bulls do with their pick is intertwined with what Paxson decides to do with Nocioni. The bottom line is Chicago is very likely to trade its pick.</p>
Beasley for sure. Makes Noah and Tyrus trade baits to fill in other positions while getting the post scorer you need.</p>
