Use this thread for all talk coming up to the draft and on draft day to discuss the Bulls picks...

I really want to the Bulls get Aldridge with the number 2 pick...

but the part of me that loves facial hair thinks we should draft Morrison... if he became a superstar, he might have what it takes to make mustaches hip again... something that is long over due.

I really hope that Rodney Carney falls at 16 and I believe he will if so, we MUST PICK HIM!! Aldridge plus Carney is my dream draft. I hope it falls into place :

The bulls also have the right to swap picks with the Knicks next year right? So if the Knicks are horrible again (which is a near certainty) the bulls will wind up with one of their rediculously high picks again next reay right?

Yep

Can't wait for Wednesday night!

Starting tomorrow, just post all draft talk in here...

Ah draft day is FINALLY here

All of the talk seems to be pretty well zeroed in on Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha

If we draft Ty Thomas, do you guys think he could start at PF for us this year?

Depends....

Why because if we make changes through free agency a player could be the fill in.

I dont think he is ready but the summer league can really get us a better idea for that.

First we have to draft him

If we have a bad draft, I expect Pax to go big in FA.

But it obviously won't be a bad draft in Pax's eyes

That's the problem.

I don't think he'd be a starter right away. I think we'd use him in an "energy" role off the bench. Plus this team is going to be going out there trying to add 1-2 more quality bigs.

Names include:
Nene
Pyrzbilla
Drew Gooden
Al Harrington
Carlos Boozer (via trade)
Nazr Mohammed
Jared Jeffries (if you consider him a 4)

And I'm probably forgetting some as well.

Less than 3 hours to go.

As the clock slowly winds down to the draft, I have to say that I am not worried. Paxson has drafted very well since becoming GM. Even his picks that I hated at the time (Hinrich over Pietrus) have ended up being great picks. As such, all I'm hoping for in this draft is that Bulls get a good sized 2 guard and a post with their 2 picks.

Here's hoping that Pax doesnt give me a heart attack tonight though.

This new Aldridge news is allowing me to ease up a bit. I cant wait.

1 1/2 hours. God, the suspense is killing me. And now, Portland has the 7th AND 4th picks.

Portand really wants Morrison, so the Bulls could potentially trade down and obtain the 4th and 7th for the 2nd and 16th. That would allow us Alrdidge or Thomas still plus Brandon Roy/Brewer or even Shelden Williams. Man, this is exciting.

I would do that.

I'd do that deal as well. God, I love draft night.

Ladies and gents, we have 30 minutes until lift off. ESPN Pre-Draft on now.

LETS GO!

Some gut feeling is telling me Pax is gonna draft Roy at #2. Idk, somethins just tellin me.

They just said we could be drafting aldridge and trading him to the blazers for tyrus thomas...

Come on Raps pick Bargnani already, noone is going to give you what you want for him.

That would royally piss me off and dissapoint me.

Me too. There's no sweetner in there for us.

2, 16 for 4, 7?

At 4 if Aldridge, Roy, and Thomas are there bulls are assured of 1, and at 7 they can take a big man.

Depends on what they really want I guess.

5 Minutes!!! C'MON PAX I have faith in you!!!

The time has come. This is what we've been waiting for for weeks. Let'g get 'er done Pax! GET ALDRIDGE!

I'd definately do that.

I meant to say at 2, if all 3 are there.

he is 6'7 what do you think! he will be a small forward in the nba he even said it him self.

why do you seem to want him when your sig says different.

ITS UNDERWAY!!! I CANT WAIT COME ON BULLS I LOVE YOU GUYS!

here we freaking goooooooooo

Toronto is on the clock...

TORONTO: TAKE THOMAS!

Thought I would sign up today just for this.

Rumor on RealGM board is that we trade down to 4 and get Khrypa

BARGS IS THE FIRST PICK! BULLS NEXT OMG

They took Bargnani.

That would be interesting for you guys if it's the case.

Khrypa's got some nice defensive potential for a SF.

The NY crowd is great. Booing Stern when he mentioned the WNBA all-star game and "overrated" for Bargniani.

Bulls at 2, I smell a trade, but probably am very wrong.

TAKE ALDRIDGE AND KEEP HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on Lamarcus.

THE PICK IS THOMAS!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

BULLS PICK ALDRIDGE AND SEND HIM TO PORTLAND FOR THE $3 AND kRHYPA.

fish you Pax

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Aldridge... let's see if a trade happens

This trade isnt official yet is it?
