Open Preseason Thread: Bulls at Indiana Pacers

PrintHey! Bulls are back! The excitement that only a first-round playoff loss can instill has yet to be quenched.
As it turns out, I'm out of town to watch a far more depressing and awful team, but I'll catch up on the tape sometime Sunday. This one is on CSN+ locally.

Starting Line Ups
Bulls starters: Deng, Thomas, Noah, Salmons Rose/Pacers: Granger , Foster Rush, Ford

Should the the regular starting 5
It’ll be interesting to see how they play together. Deng was shut down shortly after we got Salmons (and he wasn’t 100% in the short time they played together), so this is really our first chance to see those 5 together.
If it's online anyway someone please post a link

Isn’t he a hustle/rebounding guy. I was thinking him being good around the basket would be a bonus.
Those were dunks through contact and he didn't get through the contact. But he is a rail, so not all that surprising.

Bulls should be dominating this game. Winning the turnover battle, the offensive rebound battle,
and getting to the line more, they are just shooting TERRIBLY. eFG% of 25%.

I'm not sure if this was sarcasm, but I'd always rather have Tyrus take an open jumper by
setting his feet and shooting. He’s not good enough as a shooter to be shooting stepback jumpers.

Now seriously, Boozer, Okur and Millsap will be a good test to Taj
If he does well, I’m all for playing him this season a couple of minutes. He really impressed me tonight. But Hibbert and McRobert are no stars
huh that didnt make sense
wouldnt money be the main motivating factor for trading either of those two for reinsdorf and crew? plus why even mention it at such a random time?
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
it was just a joke. I just think they need to cut bait with the Skiles/Pax era.
I think Deng is a decent player but I don’t think he fits the team anymore. Same with Hinrich.
But my point was they can’t really be traded because they make ass loads of money.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
i know i may be in the minority
but i don’t think either one’s contract is THAT bad.
i think deng has this year to redeem himself, otherwise, yeah his contract is a load of garbage.
and hinrich makes too much to be the 3rd guard, but he’d start on a lot of teams and his contact is probably worth it then.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
yeah but he plays with the Bulls and doesn't start so it's not worth it.
Deng can’t stay healthy and his game hasn’t really expanded. I just don’t want those players around Rose. I’d rather have cheaper younger more athletic players with Rose.
Part of me thinks that Deng thinks that this is his team. It’s not.

i was talking about trade value though.
no, hinrich isn’t worth it to our team, but there’s a reason portland was pursuing him heavily. he was worth his contract to them.

I totally disagree about having them around Derrick
I think veteran players (those who actually play meaningful minutes) help, and I think it helps to have some guys with different strengths on the team.
Are there guys somewhere in the universe who are a better theoretical fit next to Derrick? Sure – but I’m far from sold that the main criteria for that are cheaper, younger, and more athletic. Meanwhile, we’ve got guys who are reasonably athletic and quick – not that it’s their primary strength, but then that’s pretty much what Tyrus has going for him and how’s that working out? And they’re also good locker room guys by all reports I’ve seen and have some experience in the league. There’s a difference between being open to making good trades and dumping good players just because they aren’t the ideal fit.

i thought the money sign was reffering to how the bulls organization thinks about money first, and thats why i thought the joke (i knew it was a joke) didnt make sense cuz if anything they should trade those two more for the sake of saving money…..

I was surprised that the scab refs seemed pretty decent
It’s hard to judge from a low-intensity preseason game, but I wouldn’t have noticed any difference if I hadn’t known the refs were different. I might have been wrong about the replacements being a disaster. The regular refs might want to consider swallowing their pride and giving in, because they certainly aren’t going to have any sympathy from the fans.
I am actually looking forward to the scab refs in the regular season

Really now …
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
Really, the Krik bashing is hystrical
He’s one of the better guards in the NBA at his present salary.
For Chicago, he’s expensive given the commitment to Rose but the vet isn’t complaining about backing up Rose.
When Krik’s traded, it will happen, it will be for good players or draft picks,
I wouldn't say cynical as much as basing your opinion on a checklist of characteristics rather than on-court results
I’ll give you younger, longer, and cheaper. But what makes you think he can go from D-Leaguer to 3rd guard on a team that plans to make a reasonable challenge in the playoffs?
D-League stats from last season for Byars: .475 fg%, .383 3%, .753 ft%, 16.8 ppg/36, 2.63ast/36, 4.57reb/36 – that’s D-League again, and as one of the top options on the team. Now I’m not saying he’s got no shot in the NBA, and if you wanted to argue him over Lindsey to hold down the bench I probably wouldn’t even blink. Why you think he brings more to the team than Kirk, I don’t get. I think you’re too focused on the contract issue.
In honor of the dearly departed, I declare July PB&J month - everyone raise a sandwich to the memory of Ben!
I can just tell.
I have watched Hinrich for six years now this will be his seventh and I’m just so sick of his dopey ass in a Bulls jersey. I don’t understand this cities infatuation with mopey short white QB’s and PG’s. (Rex)
Just because you don’t play well in the D-League doesn’t mean you can’t play in the NBA. If you’re playing with bad players bad things happen. Maybe if he’s paired with real basketball players he can open looks. He’s good enough to get a call up. But lets just march out the same over paid average players (Hinrich and Deng) who don’t even fit the team anymore. Lets be honest if it wasn’t for their contract I have a feeling these guys would have been dealt by now.
Sometimes those fringe players thrive in a good system around good players where they don’t have to be the man.
I think they Bulls should do everything in their powers to try and trade Hinrich and Deng.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
If it wasn't for their contracts, there'd be little point in wanting to trade them
Lu and Kirk are both legitimate NBA players – complementary players, but among the top 30 at their positions. If you just consider play and not contract, Kirk’s a great guy to have as a third guard; he plays both spots very well for a backup and is a legitimate starter at PG. If he can stay healthy, Lu’s a borderline all-star talent. Put either of them on a lower contract and they’re a steal.
I’m not saying untradeable by any means – but IMO only in a good deal. The team does need to stick guys out on the floor who can play. I’m seriously baffled that you’d rather gamble PT on a fringe NBA player in the hopes that he does better against NBA opponents than he did in the D-League. I wouldn’t consider a salary dump unless the Bulls are totally out of it mid-season with no hope of making a playoff push to help entice a free agent.
In honor of the dearly departed, I declare July PB&J month - everyone raise a sandwich to the memory of Ben!
comparing either Hinrich or Deng to Grossman is ridiculous
those guys could start just about anywhere in the NBA. Grossman’s career is over.
I guess I can understand someone wanting Hinrich and Deng gone, but thinking you’re going to replace their production with a D-Leaguer is absurd. I’d rather the Bulls not be unwatchable like they were the first half of last season.

with VDN running this team, our best bet is to just put the best players on the floor, and hope they can make something happen.

Deng is always hurt and Hinrich is more inconsistent than a decent hair cut at Super cuts.

hmmm
my thoughts are biased….probably….
Hinrich was pretty consistant in what he brought to the table UNTIL 2007, and 2008 he was injured… so for 4 of his seasons he was pretty consistantly bringing this team 16 and 6…I think you are hating just way too much at this point…
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
What production?
Seriously? Last year, in spite of all those games missed to injuries, Kirk and Lu contributed a combined total of 1193 points, 418 rebounds, 291 assists, 126 steals, and 44 blocks, all while shooting a combined 44.4% overall, 40.7% from 3, and 79.4% from the line.
Replacing them with junk wouldn’t hurt at all – except that we saw how much it did when they were both out early in the season….
In honor of the dearly departed, I declare July PB&J month - everyone raise a sandwich to the memory of Ben!
thats fine, but I just think the team needs to still build around Rose.
these guys are part of the old regime they may have had some decent stats but then all the better to trade them. Honestly I just don’t think Deng and Hinrich fit the Bulls style anymore. I mean they are very replaceable in my eyes. Im sorry I just think you need to move on from these type of guys. I would argue that Deng and Hinrich are in some ways mentally weak. That when the pressures on in the highest levels they shrieval up. They have also peaked in their potential and won’t be getting much better. So why not trade them while you can get something for them?
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
I don't think any of us said not to trade them under the right circumstances.
But you started the whole thing by saying you’d rather have Byars over Kirk. And everyone who responded to you pointed out that this is ridiculous – no way does Byars even come close to doing what Kirk does for the team.
Now you’re walking down the road of Kirk and Lu contributing nothing (or at least very little) to team success, which is patently false. Team needs to build around Derrick? Great, but how about you don’t propose doing that by replacing legitimate NBA players with training camp scrubs who will be luck to hold down the bench for someone this season.
There are many quite legitimate arguments for trying to trade Kirk and Lu. I don’t agree with all of them, but there are many I do agree with. But they are both good players who have contributed a lot to this team, and who are being counted on to contribute a lot this coming season. IMO, you being tired of them in Bulls unis is a really crappy argument for trading them, and acting like they don’t contribute anything or harping on their flaws as players don’t change the fact that we need someone on the court producing this season. I personally think they’re going to have good years, and have several remaining productive years in their careers. You obviously don’t. I would rather watch Kirk and Lu this season and see the team have some success than start dumping guys – just to be sure we get something for them – and always be on that building for later, perpetually chasing the next unknown superstar treadmill.

I don't care I just don't wanna watch Hinrich or Deng on the Bulls.
They are in my Rex Grossman club.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!

Didn't see the game, how was Richard's defense?
I love his measureables: 6’8.75" in shoes, 7’4.5" wingspan, 9’2.5" standing reach. (That’s the same standing reach as Chris Kaman, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Tyson Chandler.) Richard fills a need if he can guard thick PFs.
Deng went to the line 9 times?
Even for the presesaon, that’s pretty good.
Basketball is back…..it’s about freaking time.
The 2009 White Sox....like a 40 degree day.
I was going into game thread withdrawal.

John Salmons SG impressions
6-8 from the field, no fouls, no assist, 2 boards, 1 block, 1 TO and 3-4 from the line.
The defense wasn’t really strong here. Brandon Rush isn’t really going to stop him.
I missed the second half, but in the first it looked like he was getting good looks from the shots he created for himself.
12/31: Fire Vinny Del Negro.
