ESPN just reported the Fernandez for Hamilton trade.

Marquette alum adding my two cents...

Butler is a solid role-playertype pick... offensively, he's an effective slasher who needs to improve his outside shot.... sort of a poor-man's Luol Deng.

Strong defender who can defend multiple positions... 2, 3, or 4.

Should fit well into Thib's system.

 

Bulls will acquire a 2. Long way to go in the offseason

Im a fan of Moore, but I think its his size and question of whether he has enough athleticism to play in the NBA and overcome his size and potential weakness on defense.

If anything, if Mirotic continues to progress, his rights are tradable. It's like a floating 1st Rd pick.

Did you say the same thing when we drafted Asik?

 

Did I miss something? Asik is not that good. A decent backup? Yes. The Heat have three players better than Rose. We need to aim higher.

Scenario,

 

I presume the reason why butler didnt play the 2 more was because of Marquette's love of playing 4 guards at a time? I know a lot of games he was one of the taller guys on the floor.

Thibs must have wanted him for that.

They do?

What pick in the top 10 did the bulls have to net Lebron, Wade or Bosh, because I dont believe any of them were drafted at 28.

You apparently are missing a lot of things.

Good god, you rant like crazy. Bosh is not in any way shape or form better than Rose. It's a little easier to have a good series when you're being single-covered by a bad defender with two studs drawing all of the defensive attention than when you're getting trapped basically the whole game.

Asik is looking to be a far better player than not that good. Dude is epic on defense.

 

Bulls weren't getting a starting 2, drafted a great talent. Top 10 by many.

They do?

 

Yes, Bosh as the lead dog is better than Rose. Rose is not as good playing with LeBron and Wade.

I think what I enjoy the most is people going crazy over players theyve only watched for a few minutes.

Yes. Plus, Marquette didn't have much up front... which made Butler more valuable as a forward.

Seemed like a lot of teams were interested in Asik at the trade deadline and if he wasn't that good than why was Memphis wanting him for Mayo who I know you like a ton?

 

Asik is a productive player. Great, no, but he makes the Bulls better.

The Bulls have an incredibly minimal amount of minutes available for rookies as it is especially if they acquire anyone else

Bosh's '10 > Rose's '11. That's all I can say.

And you are higher than a kite if you think the Bulls are getting an all star at 28 and 30 (or even 23). We are lucky if we get one rotation player out of those picks.

Scenario,

 

When I saw that butler was 6'7 I was shocked, because I remember him generally being the 4 and therefore I thought he was more like 6'9. As soon as I saw he was 6'7 I started to think that the Bulls may play Butler as both 2/3 because I do think he has the quickness to play the 2 and offensively hes a decent slasher.

Yes, Bosh as the lead dog is better than Rose. Rose is not as good playing wise LeBron and Wade.

 

Bosh has never put up a season like Rose's MVP season. He's never gone far above 10 win shares in his entire career. Rose had 13.5 last year.

Yes, Bosh as the lead dog is better than Rose. Rose is not as good playing wise LeBron and Wade.

Seriously? Bosh as the lead dog is better?

 

I must have missed when Toronto won 62 games and lost in the ECF's?

Bosh's '10 > Rose's '11. That's all I can say.

 

62 wins, a conference finals trip and an MVP> 40 wins and watching the playoffs from home.

I think that might be the dumbest post in the history of Soxtalk. Just think about that...there have been a lot of dumb posts on Soxtalk and that might be the topper, hahah.
