Or we could keep Hinrich and draft the big guy. That's only a one step process, and there's far less uncertainty. We already know this team is pretty good, to make what you keep proposing work it'd probably cost us Hinrich and Tyrus (and probably the pick as well), if they even take a deal without Gordon or Deng.

We're not going to find a PG that is even REMOTELY close to a quality replacement for Kirk for at least 2 years in this draft. We'd be better off drafting Noah or Hawes for some immediate production while Tyrus keeps developing, that'd give us another body inside without destroying our already solid core.

Wasn't there talk of Oden wanting to stick with Conley? If we're on the clock at 9 with Conley available and Portland is offering Randolph for him straight up (plus some crap thrown in for leveling out the salaries), do we do it? This is probably a moot point because someone is gonna trade up to get him, plus Randolph will probably already be traded prior to the draft. I'm not a big Randolph fan but if we can get him on the cheap and Skiles thinks he can handle him, I like.

Well, the problem is that to "level out salaries" we'd basically have to include Kirk or Noc, which makes no sense. Plus Randolph's multitude of problems are explored in the other thread...

You think Paxson is going to draft a 6 foot point guard? Think again...

I don't need you pointing out articles to me. And by the way I already read it. And it's not about what Paxson is or isn't going to do, it's about what I think would be best. Obviously my opinion doesn't matter in the bigger scheme of things. And guess what! Neither does yours!

Paxson would be smart to trade Kirk. But then he'd probably lose the "white fan" who only support the team b/c Kirk's on the team. Not to be racist but it was the same with Larry Bird. That's just my opinion.

That is so ridiculous. The white fan? Seriously? Attendance is the least of the worries for the Bulls right now. Even when we were winning 17 games a year we still had upwards of 20,000 people a the games. Are you telling me we had no "white fans" before we drafted Hinrich? Now you're just fabricating things to make yourself feel more hatred towards Hinrich. Give it a rest already, we get your point.

This teams problem is not a "true" PG. The offense flows just fine. This teams problem is a big man who can open up the floor for the shooters and slashers. All you had to do is watch the Pistons series to see how painfully obvious the lack of a big man is. Drafting ANOTHER guard without having a plan to get a big man somehow would be the dumbest possible thing that John Paxson could possibly do in this draft.



OK this is just bizarre. Some how I doubt the interracial Bulls have much of a follow that depends solely upon the number/quality of "white" guys on the team. I don't know where you pull this idea from, but I would put it back.
