Yeah, yeah, I know he's the EC starting C in the ASG, but I kinda don't give damn. He's on a "value contract"...everyone says so. This should mean he's easy to trade. So what can we get? I'd prefer a superstar, but would settle for a legit NBA backup SF. I've concluded that the Bulls best chance this season is to attempt to rediscover their former identity. Defense first and Noah as the defensive anchor. Hell, maybe this will help Rose better remember how great he was a few short years ago. The Bulls can't be those Bulls with Gasol playing significant minutes as the team's last line of defense. Everybody says that Thibodeau's a defensive genius, but apparently he's not enough of a defensive genius to make it work with Gasol. If the Bulls can't trade Gasol for something useful, I'll settle for Thibodeau playing Gasol about 20 mpg. When the Bulls signed Gasol, this is how I thought he should be used and I'm finding to my surprise that I agree with myself.
You might find we're not as good a team trying the grit route. That's already proven to be a failure.
20 points, 15 rebounds in a 30 point win. Good timing It speaks more to Kirk's 14 minutes and quality minutes from Snell being the winning formula than the shitty gritty thing.
