The Bulls have been my favorite team since the late 80's, and always will be my favorite team.  But, I must say that my beloved team is in trouble in the future.  I've been watching the Las Vegas summer league, and am thoroughly convinced that the NBA is headed in the same direction as MLB in terms of each team having their own minor league team through NBDL affiliates.  The level of talent is quite impressive, I would say to the point that some teams summer league squads would give the Bulls regulars trouble in a regular season game.  The place the bulls fall short is at the 4 and 5.  Players like Ryan Hollins, Amir Johnson, Anthony Randolph, Andrae Blatche,J. Mcgee(the wizards draft pick), Kevin Love, the Lopez bros. and even the Princeton big Wallace have played well.  When you compare these guys with the likes of Aaron Grey, Jo. Noah, and even Tyrus to a lesser extent, you have to question the prowess of the Bulls scouting department.  Let's be fair, the Bulls can't land the bigs that went high this year of course, but, what about all these guys that were late 2nd rounders.  Oh yeah, I forgot, we would rather pick up another bum like this Omar Asik kid that no one has heard of, and can't help us until much later as it sounds. 

Let's not forget to mention the most idiotic move that Paxson has made thus far in trading LaMarcus Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas.  I don't care how anyone tries to justify that move, it was as stupid as signing Wallace in the twilights of his career.  Let's trade scouting personnel with the Blazers.  They know how to draft, and have put themselves in a situation to be very good for a very long time.  They will have a healthy Greg Oden, with Rudy Fernandez coming over from Spain, and the most valuable player of Las Vegas summer league Jerred Bayless.  I know this is BlogaBull, but Portland will be Rough with a capital R with a lineup of Bayless,Roy,Webster,Aldridge, and Oden, with true depth coming off the bench. 

D Rose should be a great player 3yrs from now, but it would be nice to put some legit bigs that have some semblance of post moves and offensive skills that bigs should have to be in the NBA.  It almost makes you question the work ethic of Tyrus an Jokim.  Here they are in their 3rd, and 2nd years respectively, and they still don't know how to do a simple right hook in the lane, or any back to the basket moves.  Tyrus would rather just literally leap into a crowded lane out of control and hope for a foul.  I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this, I think that the Bulls should look at some of the talent in the D-League and pick up some legit 7 footers and give them a serious look.  This whole idea that the NBA is getting smaller is only true in the back court, the bigs are still big in the front court, and they are athletic.  The bulls only have 1 legit 7 footer and thats Aaron Grey, who has some post skills but is way to slow and nonathletic to get serious playing time.  The bulls may have dug themselves so far in a hole that they can't get out.
