General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

I used to be afraid everytime he took a jump shot but now I’ve seen him make enough that I have faith in that shot.

as a new guy here i believe (almost) no one should ever be band

unless they are totally not adding anything to the conversation of the Bulls. The reason I say this is because provocative journalism/media has a very important role in society to at least spark interest. If someone is being useless and not thought provoking and just a distraction in general to discourse then can them. But if they just have a very polar opinion I think they bring a lot to a message board. just my s cents

And Deng arose from the dead tonight.

I don't know if it is Vinny

or the fact that we have no one else to play right now and the last month and a half we had injuries that forced him to do the same. I am glad of what is happening, but Vinny is just playing what he has. He is still benching the hot hand for some reason. That drives me nuts.

Here's what really sucks:

If Rose quickly turns into a star (if not THE SUPERSTAR) in the next couple of years, a 3-man backcourt of Hinrich, Gordon and Rose could be one of the better ones in the NBA, 96-minutes wise. God, is Top-5 too high? I don’t know. It just sucks that they aren’t going to keep Gordon, or that, if they do, they’ll have to rid Hinrich to do it.

I kind of wish Pax had turned Salmons around to one of the teams that wanted him for expirings. And that JR would pay the damn tax. I love our guard rotation right now.

10 minutes

split up in five minute stints. Maybe even less. That isn’t too bad, especially if he has some go-to plays to run as the PG with some of our other players to set them up. As long as it is structured time I don’t see it being a problem. If we had a post player we can run the offense through that for short stints.

No matter what Derrick Rose will need a sharp shooter to pass to. BG is one of the best in the league. Pax already tried trading Deng to Portland. He knows that contract is a problem.

Looking into my crystal ball, I predict that the addition of Brad Miller

is going to accelerate TT’s great potential
is going to give Ben Gordon more open shots with his accuracy at the elbow
is going to take the pressure off Noah, so he can go all out without worrying about foul trouble
