2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 05:20 PM) I realize Booze had some troubles but he isn't nearly as broken down as Garnett. KG has came on strong as of late (now that he's playing more center) but for most of the year he hasn't been that good. Have you guys watched many of Boston's games. There is a reason they are pretty mediocre. I don't think adding there 2nd and 4th best players in place of our 2nd and 3rd best players makes us a better team. I have Rondo as there best player and Allen as the 3rd best player. For the Bulls, I could see someone making the argument that Noah is better than Boozer (and I'm probably 50/50 on that depending on which Joakim shows up). Either way, I personally believe Rondo to be the best player on the Celtics. If there was a guy I'd want on Boston, it would be Ray Allen. Tremendous fit, but I certainly wouldn't give up Deng to get him. Add Allen without subtracting much of the main core and the Bulls might just be the best team in the NBA. Note: From a PPG standpoint (KG vs. Boozer), Bulls lose a little in points, lose a little in rebounds, gain in defense. The difference between Deng/Pierce in PPG is a slight difference in favor of Pierce as well (very minimal). Pierce at 18PPG or so over the past 3 years; Deng around 17PPG (a little lower this year, but that is primarily a result of his injury). Deng also shoots a higher FG percentage, although Deng's current year FG% is terrible as a result of his injury (down around 41%). Lol, your post thread note is killing your argument. I would argue a lot of the problems with the Celtics being mediocre is that they have traded away their muscle(perkins) and they lost green due to his heart condition

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 05:09 PM) You guys are pretty crazy when you think it is easy to replace Deng. Sure, it is easy to replace a guy like that when you have cap room or lots of draft picks. The Bulls don't have either. This would be a ridiculously short sited trade and it is the exact reason it won't happen. Heck, I could make an argument that the Bulls are better pre-deal this year than pots-deal (well if Deng was 100%). That is because Garnett is a walking liability (dude could go down with another injury at any point). You are replacing Deng with Pierce, and a oft injured Boozer for an oft injured Garnett. Really, it seems like a wash. Plus, Garnett expires. I know Boozer has been healthy all season, but come on, this is the exception not the rule

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 04:08 PM) One thing I would say about the Dwight rumors. If the Bulls could get him while keeping Noah - ie, only giving up Boozer, Deng, and some other s***, I say f***ing roll the dice and worst-case you got Boozer's contracts off the books. +1 at the very least after this season Garpax would have some money to play with if they would have to rebuild around Rose

@waddleandsilvy Good article by @KBergCBS. Orlando would like to send Howard to #Bulls, but nothing likely since Howard wont sign long term here.

Just curious, do Illinois fans feel that Shaka is looking at Illinois as a stepping stone? If he is, does that change your feelings about him getting the job?

2012 NFL draft question
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 10:45 AM) Technically Brees was selected with the Chargers pick (not the Falcons). The Chargers actually got, Tomilson, Tay Cody, and Reche Caldwell. Technically they did well because Tomilson was a beast and they still got their QB in Brees with another pick, but the other guys the Chargers got didn't exactly light it up. A better haul was the Chargers trade of Eli Manning, where they got Rivers, Nate Kaeding, and Shawne Merriman (1st round the following year). Ah, didnt know that. thanks

2012 NFL draft question
QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 10:42 AM) that makes more sense, but still.... in both trades the teams jumped 4 spots (from 5 to 1, and 6 to 2), and the redskins gave up 2 1st rounders and a third, while the falcons gave up a 2nd, a 3rd and receiver nobody heard of What is the value of the picks though. Brees was the first pick of the second round, that is still a pretty high value pick, no?

2012 NFL draft question
QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 10:37 AM) wow...put that in perspective with what the Rams just did.... #1 pick for #5 pick and a 3rd rounder vs. #2 pick for #6 pick, two more 1st rounders, 1 more second rounder You also have to put it in perspective what the teams did with the picks. Brees and Tomlinson for Vick is pretty awesome. The Broncos got what with the picks for Cutler?

damn I was up too early and out too late to be making any sort of sane thoughts. jesus Vick and Brees

2012 NFL draft question
man, this is going to be a complicated discussion. Luck is a pure passer, RG3 can pass and run. Sort of similar to the Vick and Manning draft, Manning came out on top due to the Superbowls, but Vick has always had the hype and the glamor.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 03:06 AM) This is basketball. Talent will almost always win out. Get me the guy who can recruit the best players and I'll take my chances. That's funny, because a large part of the reason Weber got fired is because they said he couldn't coach the talent that he recruited.
