I have been very impressed with our young bigs. TT, the way he was stuffing Bynum and Haywood, legit monster Cs, he has potential to be affective all over the court. Gray is a solid post scorer and passer, and if he's at all a hard worker he can be an important role player for this team. Noah has been surprisingly effective on both defense and offense. Noah could eventually be the most underrated player on a championship team for his ability to legitimately guard, block shots, and rebound, with the best Cs as well as have the versatility to run the court like a wing player.Rebounding, steals, passing, dribbling for a player his size, his hands are great.

This bulls team is not going to win a championship this year and probably won't come remotely close. But let's not forget how long it took MJ and co. to get it right. In a few years when TT is 24, Noah 25, Deng 25, Gray 26, Gordon 27, Duhon 28, Hinrich 29, and Noc 31 a lot of these guys still won't be in there primes and think how much more they'll have developed.
A nucleus of....
Hinrich/Duhon
Deng/Gordon
Noc
TT
Noah/Gray

in the 2010-2011 season is a young nucleus that could challenge for championships for a decade. Scorers and defensive stoppers at every position, tremendous length, versatility, and athleticism. Could play ridiculously big or small, fast or slow. Match up with every team. To win the east of the future we will need tremendous defensive players on the wings and down low in order to deal with Lebron, wade, Dhoward, and Bosh as they should be our main competition as the celtics and Pistons get old. With Kirk, Deng, Noc, and thabo on the wings and TT and Noah down low, we have guys to slow those guys down in a playoff series.

We don't have to blow it up. This bulls team can win a championship. Just not right now.

A lot of them will be making more money and some of them will be gone.

Before this season started, there were more than a few people who said this core should win at least 1. On paper they're still right. Of course, Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich now seem incapable of making a basket while shooting that piece of paper into a trash can.

this team won't stay together. with pressures from everyone/ everywhere pax. will pull a trigger with someone. they are already confused as to how to play TT and Noah together. despite wanting to believe this, i do not think we would go too far mainly because i consider deng alone pretty much (some help from Noc).--I think BG is awful. even if he has his 20 some points a game, he makes so many other mistakes and doesn't play D. i think our young guys are good, but we haveta make a move somewhere and probably will--if skiles goes, maybe that is another story.

To me that is the key, Skiles must go. I think what Scott has done since being named head coach has been good however, I do not think he is an elite caliber coach that will take this team to the next level. I also agree that this team has too many pieces to the puzzle that do not work and want to see some changes made. Pax needs to do something and soon before this season is totally lost once again.

I agree, we need to fire Skiles and start over. Get a coach that likes to get out and run like D'antoni and someone who can coach players to their max potentials and not just average players. Who that coach will be I don't know.
