Looks like JR's on his way to Denver, in what appears to be another salary dump. At least we get 2 2nd rounders out of it...
QUOTE Before Griffin’s signing becomes official, the Bulls will send shooting guard J.R. Smith to Denver for two future second-round draft picks and the nonguaranteed contract of point guard Howard Eisley, who will then be released. One potential delay is waiting for physicals to be completed in the trade with New Orleans. The Bulls acquired Smith from the Hornets, along with power forward P.J. Brown, in exchange for Tyson Chandler. They can’t unload Smith until that deal becomes official. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/bulls.asp |

I predict this thread will be dug up in a couple years to show how ridiculous this trade was.
We wouldn't have Sef without that 2nd rounder we traded. 2nd rounders are real valuable to move up a few spots in the mid-late 1st round. We can get 2nd rounders WITHOUT trading an explosive 20 year old with a perfect frame and an outside game. |

There is a reason why Darko never got PT in Detroit. Or why Jermaine Oneal never did in Portland, right? |

Smiths selfishness, immaturity, and hardheadedness put him on the bench his sophomore year. His rookie year, he got plenty of minutes. Jeez, Rememberthe90's was right, everyone fell in love with Smith after watching a video of him dunking all the time. Adrian Griffin is a proven commodity in the NBA and starte 40+ games for a team that went to the NBA Finals. He's a Skiles type player and played well when he was with the Bulls a year ago. I'd take the guy who know's the system and gets the job done over the guy who has tons of potential. |

I'd take the guy who know's the system and gets the job done over the guy who has tons of potential. I could give a crap about the You tube video. I talked about his oustide game in 2 posts alread. You're not hard of seeing are you? Before we all anoint Byron Scott as the good guy in situations we don't really know about, all I wanted was to give the kid a chance. He is a kid. 20 years old. Their is a reason why they have an age limit now. People deserve a shot to mature. Tmac and Kobe wern't exactly the most mature players either when they were 18-19 years old. We have a very positive locker room. One 20 year old will not change that. If he was affecting the team, ship him out. He deserved a shot. I like Paxsons sell High/Buy Low mentality that will get us far. Who ever said he needs to stay away from his brother, hit the nail right on the head. |
