To quote myself way back on Nov.10

"There is not a doubt that the Bulls have the pure talent to be in eastern championship game so, what is the deal. Gordon, Deng, and Hinrich are not producing consistently like they did last year, which raise another question, which is when, will the Bull’s front office make a deal for Kobe Byrant. How many more games can the Bulls afford to loose in a rising eastern division? I think if they loose 5 of there next 8 games they have to pull the trigger and sadly regardless of the cost."

The Bulls have lost more than 5 games and there in trouble at 2-10. A trade is a must at this point so we will exam possible options for the Bulls to salvage thier season.
My solution from best to worst,

1.) trade 1st round pick for Paul Millsap of the Jazz
Why?
a.) The Bulls wouldnt have to trade any there big 3
b.) They would pick up that low post defender and possible scorer they desire
c.) Paul current salary $687,456 w/ 1 year left meaning... no big dent if it works out or not.
d.) He is young and if he continues to progress you get a Carlos Boozer type PF

2.) Joakim Noah and Aaron Gray for Alonzo Mourning
a.) Even though the potenial to have two stars is there, the truth is the Bulls have no time to wait and see what happens. This is selling 2 rooks in a buy low sell high scenerio.
b.) Alonzo is still pretty solid for his age and is still a prescence (defensively) on the low post.
c.) Has a one year deal and wants to win the NBA title again
d.) Again they dont have to trade there big 3 and they gain a savy vet who has been there before

3.) Kirk Hinrich and Adrian Griffin for Pau Gasol
a.) Pau answers all of there pressing needs
b.) Sefolosha has demonstrated he is very capable at running the point plus, bulls have great depth at the point
c.) Kirk Hinrich is only averaging 10 ppg, 5 asst, and is under 35% from the field
d.) Pau size in the paint will open things up for Gordan's and Deng's shooting

4.) Loul Deng & Joe Smith for Marcus Camby & V.Wafer
a.) They get a solid veteran low post player and a young gun
b.) Nocioni can play SF
c.) more solid rebounding means more shots for Gordan and Hinrich
d.) Camby salary progressively drops after this year

5.) Ben Gordan, Tryus Thomas, Ben Wallace, and 1 st round draft pick* (and possible future draft pick consideration) for Kobe Bryant, Jordan Farmar, and Ronny Turiaf
a.) They get the most electrifying player in the game
b.) They get 2 solid young players
c.) generate extreme amount of profit from ticket and jersey sale (business side of it)
d.) might inspire kobe to run the courts of a legend.


Just ideas they may not be the best but they are defiantly intrest enough

Sometimes when your watching ESPN question pop into your head and I find it interesting what other think besides myself. So fire away! just like as if you were in Pakistan


Are the Celtic legit and worth the Hype ?

Believe it or not I think they are. So far I think they have lived up to the hype and the “big 3” are playing very well. But, I do have genuine concern over there lack of rotation of bench players as at most they are using 3 a game. And to be honest I don’t know how well any of their bodies will hold up as they defiantly all cant play 82 games with no relief.

The Eastern question- To pull the trigger or not…

There is not a doubt that the Bulls have the pure talent to be in eastern championship game so, what is the deal. Gordon, Deng, and Hinrich are not producing consistently like they did last year, which raise another question, which is when, will the Bull’s front office make a deal for Kobe Byrant. How many more games can the Bulls afford to loose in a rising eastern division? I think if they loose 5 of there next 8 games they have to pull the trigger and sadly regardless of the cost.

Adrian Peterson MVP ?

After watching a replay of his game against the Chargers on NFL network a couple of time I’m convinced. This is defiantly not to slight Brady or Moss whom I have seen more of, living on the east coast. But what AP is doing is truly remarkable he is on pace for an 1800+ season if he averages 70 yards (!?) from this point to the end of the season.
Now I’m not saying that he is the second coming of Walter Payton or Emmitt Smith but he is doing something I have never seen a running back do before and that is be great everything. But, more than likely because of the seniority Brady will win but, there something specially happening in Minnesota.

Should LSU be #1 or should it be a very deserving Kansas or Oregon team ?

I like LSU I really do there probable one of my favorite college for both football and basketball but, I think Kansas should be number 1 on the polls maybe for the sheer fact they haven’t lost a game and they are the only ones in the top 10 to do so. Oregon should probable be the other candidate sitting at 3.

Georgetown ranked to high in the College basketball polls ?

I understand that they are a mainly defensive team but they should not have struggled against a sub-par team W&M, which raise another question, How long will they survive in a very competitive Big east conference playing the way they are.
