June 23, 200421 yr I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm really not that high on Crawford. I mean, I always liked him and thought he had great potential, but after seeing him finally get a lot of minutes this year, he didn't impress me much. Sure, he had a 40+ point game against the Wizards and was our leading scorer this year, but I don't see him as the type of player I want on the Bulls. I'd much rather sign-and-trade him, which makes me think of a new deal for Pierce. How about this: Chicago Trades: Chandler #3 Pick E-Rob Crawford (sign-and-trade) Boston Trades: Pierce 1st round pick
June 23, 200421 yr How about this: Chicago Trades: Chandler #3 Pick E-Rob Crawford (sign-and-trade) Boston Trades: Pierce 1st round pick We can get more for Crawford than that.
June 23, 200421 yr Thanks for the compliment on the mock, too bad I won't be able to see if I was very close. I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 7:40 for a couple of weeks in Southern Cali. Pierce to Chicago would be great, but Ainge would be burned at the stake by Celtics fans, not that is matters lol.
June 23, 200421 yr Here is my official prediction. The Bulls trade the 3rd pick (Ben Gordon), Eddie Robinson, and Tyson Chandler to boston for Paul Pierce and the 25 th pick (David Harrison). Here's my 1st round mock: 1) Orlando- Emeka Okafor 2) Charlotte- Dwight Howard 3) Chicago (Traded to Boston)- Ben Gordon 4) LA Clippers- Shaun Livingston 5) Washington- Andre Igoudala 6) Atlanta- Luol Deng 7) Pheonix- Devin Harris 8) Toronto- Pavel Podkolzine 9) Philadelphia- Josh Childress 10) Cleveland- Josh Smith 11) Golden State- Andres Biedreins 12) Seattle- Luke Jackson 13) Portland- Sergei Monya 14) Utah- Kirk Snyder 15) Boston- Robert Swift 16) Utah- Al Jefferson 17) Atlanta- Rafael Araujo 18) New Orleans- Anderson Varejao 19) Miami- Jameer Nelson 20) Denver- Sebastian Telfair 21) Utah- JR Smith 22) Portland- Kris Humphries 23) Portland- Dorell Wright 24) Boston- Viktor Khryapa 25) Boston (Traded to Chicago)- David Harrison 26) Sacramento- DeLonte West 27) LA Lakers- Kevin Martin 28) San Antonio- Sasa Vujacic 29) Minnesota (Forefeits Pick) 30) Indiana- Donta Smith
June 23, 200421 yr BTW, trading Chandler and letting Fizer get drafyed by Charlotte leaves a gaping whole at PF. My solution; sign Stromile Swift with the MLE. I can see it now: Hinrich, Crawford, Pierce, Swift, Curry
June 23, 200421 yr It's not like they didn't have a glaring hole w ith Fizer there. Guy never played. I've read that Vroman could get selected by the bulls in the second half. I'm sure that'd piss off Shuf.
June 23, 200421 yr I have a bad feeling this Pierce deal isn't gonna go down. Then we will draft Deng. And then we will sit through another season of hell.
June 24, 200421 yr Made a few changes to the top 5 to reflect the Jamison for 5th pick trade that just went down. I think Shaq will end up in Dallas now with the Lakers getting the 5th pick with others. Made a few more changes again. Man that trade really screwed up my mock :-( 1st Round. 1. Orlando Emeka Okafor 2. Charlotte Dwight Howard 3. Chicago Andre Igoudala 4. LA Clippers Shaun Livingston 5. Lakers or Dallas Pavel Podlovkine (think it will end up with Lakers) 6. Atlanta Devin Harris 7. Phoenix Ben Gordon 8. Toronto Andris Biedrins 9. Philadelphia Luol Deng 10. Cleveland Jameer Nelson 11. Golden State Josh Childress 12. Seattle Luke Jackson 13. Portland Josh Smith 14. Utah Rafael Araujo 15. Boston Robert Swift 16. Utah Kirk Snyder 17. Atlanta Kris Humphries 18. New Orleans JR Smith 19. Miami Al Jefferson 20. Denver Peter John Ramos 21. Utah Sergey Monya 22. Portland Kevin Martin 23. Portland Sebastian Telfair 24. Boston Dorell Wright 25. Boston Anderson Varejao (did he pull out?) 26. Sacramento A. Vujacic 27. LA Lakers David Harrison 28. San Antonio Viktor Khryapa 29. Minnesota Forfeited 30. Indiana Donta Smith 2nd Round. 31. Orlando Ha-Seung Jin 32. Chicago Beno Udrih 33. Washington Jackson Vroman 34. LA Clippers Tony Allen 35. Atlanta Jaime Lloreda 36. Seattle Delonte West 37. Orlando Jackie Butler 38. Atlanta Christian Drejer 39. Chicago Andre Emmett 40. Toronto Arthur Johnson 41. Boston Antonio Burks 42. Seattle Chris Garnett 43. Atlanta Lionel Chalmers 44. New York Trevor Ariza 45. New Orleans Desmon Farmer 46. Milwaukee Ricky Minard 47. Portland Romain Sato 48. Miami Andre Brown 49. Sacramento Damien Wilkins 50. Memphis Herve Lamizana 51. Dallas Nigel Dixon 52. New Jersey Chris Duhon 53. San Antonio Albert Miralles 54. Miami Darius Rice 55. Detroit Viktor Sanikadze 56. Houston Andre Barrett 57. LA Lakers Misan Nikagbatse 58. San Antonio Tim Pickett 59. Minnesota Matt Freije 60. Indiana Blake Stepp
June 24, 200421 yr Author Big trade for the Wizards there, getting Jamison. Lakers could get #5, Nash, Walker and Josh Howard now.
June 24, 200421 yr Nash, the 5, and Howard is what is good in that deal. Of course the Lakers now have Payton since he accepted his option (shocked the hell out of me). Having to talk Walker is ugly. However, if they could somehow parlay Walker and maybe the #5 into a good big men, that would be nice.
June 24, 200421 yr I'm hoping the Lakers get stuck with Walker, that will be hilarious to see him and Kobe fighting for shots each game.
June 24, 200421 yr Made a few changes to the top 5 to reflect the Jamison for 5th pick trade that just went down. EDIT: I see espn.com is reporting this.
June 24, 200421 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1827125 heh, yeah, I asked who as reporting this, then I went to espn.com and *BAM* there it was.
June 24, 200421 yr Great trade for both teams, getting Stackhouse allows Dallas to trade Finley in the deal for Shaq, possibly allowing them to keep Howard and Nash. Cuban has enough money to take on the extra contracts that Washington couldn't.
June 24, 200421 yr The Bulls need to trade one/both of the picks, i think that much is pretty obvious. You don't both those picks in this draft. You would think they acquired the 7 to make a move with it
