Ya, until we trade for Kobe.

Why won't duhon be re-signed? Also I just read curry's scouting report, looks like he's a good shooter. I guess if duhon is not coming back than this is a good pick.

He gawn.

It is already Pax's first bad trade. It completely devalues the Chandler trade for me, because JR was the only redeemable part of the deal. Dont give me the whole second rounders got us Thabo spiff, because we also kicked in some good cash to Philly for him. By chance I saw this in the classifieds this morning, "Want young, high ceiling players? We need peanut vendors, make an offer. Seriously, we'll take anything"

I honestly think we're done. PJ Brown will be our PF for a season then when he is gone, we will re-up our core and make Thomas the starting PF...just my prediction.

Im beginning to like this starting lineup.

PG Hinrich
SG Smith or BG
SF Deng
PF Sweets
C Wallace

Nice deduction their Skip, if you watched what he did in New York 2 years back he was a stud, he doesnt need to be anything special with the players already around him, plus Nazr has some good potential defensively.

Some uncomfirmed news, someone on RealGM claims ESPN radio said the deal was nearly dead because of one of the teams getting cold feet. Again, not confirmed but the guy is someone I recognize as a good contributor, and wouldnt just pull this out of his ass to get a response.

First he has to get to the line, Chandler can improve his free throws, when he puts the effort of improving in the offseason.

And here comes your smartass comment about how chandler cant score or what not?

Their avgs are pretty similar, Im the type of person whod rather have youth over vets, and correct me if Im wrong PJ is 36? And Chandler is 23-24.

If your convinced that next seasons draft class will net us a better player than both pj and chandler then youd better hope he at least puts up tysons numbers.

Im well aware of that, and Paxson is gonna get them signed, but taking on PJs larger contract for X number of years he is here wouldnt be the bright move. Therefore Chandler costs less and should stay.

If the Hornets and Bulls go ahead with the proposed deal, Shinn will absorb the remaining five years and $54 million on Chandler's six-year, $63 million contract signed last summer.

The venerable Brown, who turns 37 in October, has only one season left on his contract at $8 million.

Money is not a problem for us. A draft pick isnt gonna cost 10 million.  Regardless we are okay financially.  You obviously didnt read my post, what the hell is the point of trading for PJ to take on his contract also.  I would spiff myself if we did that, hate to break it to ya but Tyson costs less than PJ.  Perhaps we can ask Tysons clone PJ Brown when he arrives why we traded for a veteran with a bigger salary when we could have kept Tyson, and besides JR Smith comes with this trade, he doesnt cost no 1 million I can tell you that, high school superstars always want a shitload of cash.

Christ where do I start, so appearently reading this correctly getting PJ for a year just till we draft a player to take hist spot is of what use he is to us. Your telling me Tyson cant do the Same:

Comparison:

Tysons Numbers (Career Highs)

PPG 8 Reb 9.7 Block 1.8 Stl .9


PJ Brown (Career Highs)

PPG 10.8 Reb 9 Block .8 Stl 1

Tysons is what 24, and PJ Brown is 36, so of course lets bring in a veteran who is 36 years of age, just so he can put up one more basket than Tyson, and not as strong defensively, keep in mind these are PJs career high, if you look at his stats, they get lower, and with Wallace here we expect him to take the load in scoring in the load post over Tyson who would do no better of a job. The trade is pointless, lets trade up 12 yrs. We drafted thefolosha for a reason, as a defensive guard, and JR Smith and him could be no different players.

Well guess Im not gonna be the one shaking my head when PJ walks after a year and Tyson picks up his game. And Im sure that with a projected lower pick next year we will grab a superstar.

Its not always about shutting down guys... sometimes its about being a defensive pressense down low.

Why do i believe? Cuz obviously i follow the Bulls, and am a Chandler fan (haha prolly cuz no one likes the guy) and i know that Pax and Scott are making sure that if theres one thing Chandler is doing this summer, it is gaining weight.

And ill tell u one thing... Chandler was pretty much always a PF before we lost our bigs such as Eddy and AD. But then he moved to the position C and that automatically means he has to gain a lot more weight... It wasnt such a big deal before... And anyways, im confident in Scott and Pax that they will make sure Tyson gains some muscle... And im sure Chandler wants to have a better year and he knows that he has to gain more weight.

And Chandler has worked out since he was drafted to the Bulls... Yeah, in those 5 years the guy has wokred out... yeah breaking news 4 some of u guys i guess. The guy looked like a stick coming into the NBA.
