Bulls win lottery, receive #1 pick
How's this for NBA-karma what-have-yous that I always thought were quite lame (but will share anyway):
I spaced and missed the live lottery drawing.
Luckily I realized it at 7:30. So I was able to flip to ESPNNews, who showed the full replay of the final 3 envelopes. I couldn't believe it was Steve Shanwald standing there, thinking of other possible exec-types who may look like him...not truly believing it until they showed the card with the Bulls logo.
How great is this? Usually the Bulls only win the lottery when there's no clear-cut choices. This time it's obviously between two players (I'd say one, Rose, but we have plenty of time to discuss that, now don't we?). Less thinking for Pax, and for us.
Celebrate and high-five. The only downer is that I doubt I'll be getting my partial-season ticket plan back...
And I'll say it again: Holy crap!

Even Pax couldn't screw this one up.
My prayers have been answered. I’m going to have to go back to Mass Sunday and light a candle.
The Bulls finally have a TRUE POINT GUARD. So who do they keep to go along with him?
Beasly is a beast, but potential character issues aren’t worth the risk.
I would not trade this pick. Great point guards don’t come along very often. Unless the Lakers are willing to part with Koby, forget about it. D’Antoni must be kicking himself right now. He should have waited until after the draft. There should be a glut of applicants for the Bull’s coaching job after this. Maybe even Callipari.
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

Hinrich is who we thought he was
The guy is going on 28 and has been in the league long enough. What you see is what you get, he’s hit his ceiling. Sure, he can become a more efficient player, but in terms of blossoming talent, well, the bloom is off the Rose for Krik Hinrich. Now, I’m sure some other team would love to have PG whose strength is the ability to defend their opponent’s 2 guards, so hopefully the Bulls can package Hinrich because there is no longer any need to have him on this team.
Rose has the ability to make others around him better. I don’t know if you can say that about Derrick Coleman…I mean Mike Beasley.

Rose won’t ride the pine for three years, but seriously, I DID hear on ESPN 1000 that Paxson was looking for a coach that was a hard-nosed disciplinarian… which made me vomit. If Pax hires a disciplinarian, his next move needs to be trading Tyrus Thomas before his value plummets. I don’t see Tyrus cooperating with another disciplinarian.

Remember
Deron and Paul have been in the league 3 years. No one pegged them to be as great as they are now and look how they turned out. I doubt anyone is saying that Rose IS Paul/Deron, they just see how much upside he has and even as a rookie, he’d be an upgrade over Kirk. (Sorry Sue)

My point was
that they are more experienced now than they were when they came in the league. And I really doubt anyone said Paul and Deron would be the top 2 PGs in the entire NBA by their 3rd year. Obviously they were considered good PGs coming in, but not as great as they are now and if so, then not this soon.
Either way, Rose would be a great Pick.

Not only is Rose the next great PG (maybe a Deron or Kidd style
more than Paul), but the Bulls should have a very Hornets-like team, which is not bad at all.
Noah is just like Tyson, and should get about 3 or 4 alley oops per game. Deng’s shot selection and percentages are just like David West’s (as someone pointed out on here). Of course, we’ll need Thabo to grow into being either a Mo Peterson or Bonzi Wells type…

Agreed
The Bulls, should they select Rose, would become the poor man’s New Orleans Hornets, which is fine because the East is the poor man’s conference. Noah is Tyson (sigh), Gooden can be West, Rose obviously Paul, Tyrus can challenge Tyson for the league lead in alley oop dunks, Thabo can man the 2 with BG coming off the bench in his best suited Pargo role. He’s obviously much better than Pargo, but I don’t want Rose to have to guard 2 guards because we have a little boy playing the 2 with him.

Kirk Takes Duhons job
And does it better? Kirk has showed he is the kind of player who doesnt mind if he is coming off the bench or starting. I mean boylan pulled him alot. He can do duhons job alot better, a guy who can come off the bench and play either guard spot, and can defend etiher position. Wouldnt you want that in a sixth man?
I do agree rose will be the upgrade in the pg spot, and i of course fear the trade of hinrich coming, but then it comes down to what will you get with kirk in a trade and possible scenerios. I wouldnt mind having kirk play the 6th man much like Manu does for San Antonio…it sucks being a bulls fan and a hinrich fan….

Getting Rose is
not a slam dunk. Who the Bulls choose will likely depend on the coach they hire and his style of play. The new coach may prefer they draft Beasley.
If they do choose Rose the chances of them trading both Kirk and Hughes are slim. If they trade Kirk and since Hughes and BG are pretty much the same player except Hughes is 6” taller and plays some what better defense you could be looking at a starting back court of Rose and Hughes.

I'm really regretting that cigar last night
Because tonight is the perfect night for a celebratory cigar. I’m probably the giddiest person in Florida right now.
Rose would probably be my preferred pick but I’m not sure I’d cry over Beasley.

THat'd be a playoff team for sure.
But Rose won’t start this year.

He was on the phone with someone and they kept naming top picks and Wade kept saying, “No, not him… guess again… No, not him… not him either…” and eventually Wade said “He’s still playing” in the NCAA tournament. Anyone?

And actually, beyond just D'Antoni and Riley,
you know there are some interesting reactions from current Bulls.
Somewhere Joakim Noah has to be restrained from pumping his fists and jumping up and down (like what if he was in a hospital or in an airport or something?).
Somewhere Ben Gordon is actually showing some emotion, any emotion.
Somewhere Thabo is thinking to himself “Maybe I should start practicing 10,000 jumpers a day…”

we are picking a player to be the future of the franchise. In that situation, and with the way the NBA game is going, how can you not pick Rose?!? Who cares if he fits with Hinrich or if Beasley is a better combination – both guys are only 19 years old. You are building around them, not making them the final piece of the puzzle. You draft the guy you think you can build around, the guy who can lead your team for the next 8-10 years. This isn’t pro football. Chad Ford is an idiot.

I think it would be smarter to keep Kirk at least through season 1
A lot of rookies have tough transitions – including ROY KD and Deron Williams – and you all are putting a lot on Rose’s shoulders, expecting him to not only develop his own game but pick up that of the other guys. Give him plenty of minutes to develop, and if he’s proved ready to start trade Kirk midseason.
Also gives Kirk a half to full season to show last year was a fluke and get his value back up, without throwing Rose to the wolves.
(Although Beasley is pretty darn good himself, and I’d actually be OK with that, too)
My Bulls may suck, but my Jayhawks are National Champs!

with rose like you said we have to wait and see, but with beasley he is sure to have an impact at 6-10 for the bulls who need a scorer on the block, gooden is a good offensive rebouder not a scorer like beasley. i see beasley averaging 17ppg and 8 as a rookie with the bulls, i see d.rose coming off the bench wit 7 and 4 but if he start and we trade kirk off the back i see him getting 16 and 5. sumthin kirk averaged his 3rd year 15.9

The team now has "time".
They don’t need an immediate impact. Pick the player wo they think will be best 3 years-10 years from now. There’s really no other consideration to be made, in my opinion.

indeed
I also am throwing the idea of hinrich as 6th man, as a player who can play both guard positions effectively well and guard both positions effectively well. Sort of like a manu ginobli…i would be fine with that and it sounds pretty good
im trying hard to become the next kirk hinrich, therefore im doing nothing more than being the next chris duhon.

Hinrich as a 6th man could work well
At least it would put him the mindset to be aggressive offensively, which is what he needs t be.

yup, I think it works fine
He’s not paid THAT much, considering how cheap Rose will be compared to his production, and it’ll provide yet more incentive to get Noc out of town (don’t need a 6th and 7th man with those long-term deals)

You sort of like my plan Matt
It sort of is nice knowing a guy who is more neutral and concerned with teh team rather then the individual likes my idea…now i need hscs to agree with it two and ill start shouting it to the world (for that reason he just may not)

and defensively
Guarding the guys when they are a bit tired, and not having such a restraint on quick fouls….

I haven’t paid attention to these guys at all except for the NCAA tourney. Too bad my stupid work banned youtube.

Ahhh... shit.
Where’s J.R. Giddens? He went to KU. Just got coached by Steve Alford at New Mexico? What about Jawaiaia Smith or something.
hahaha
Like I give a shit.
Although…. since they’re at #31, Lee or Rush might fall. That would be interesting.

I think the Rose pick is a no-brainer
C’mon, we are talking about Pax. Noah, Thomas, Hinrich, Gordon, Deng – what do they have in common? Paxson does all his scouting at the Final 4. He may not even know who Beasley is.

Ok guys...
Travis Outlaw, Jarrett Jack and #13 for your #1 pick. Final offer.
Please?
Tough choice for you guys, IMO. Either would fit well.

I tuned in just as they showed the top 3 picks
I don’t remember what Steve looked like, but the second I saw a pasty, somewhat nervous looking white man in the top 3, I knew it was us.
