I'm surprised someone mentioned trading Rose for Dirk before

and this one is even crazier. Unless he thinks Jalen Rose is still here.
Its impatience as well can’t plant a seed then dig it up and put in a new one the next day because it didn’t burst out of the ground. Which Rose is bursting out. I dunno maybe this is some kind of joke or something. I just can’t understand why anyone would suggest it thats gotta be the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while.
I mean I haven’t even seen some amazing post up moves from Blake either I don’t know how good of a scorer he’ll be in the post. Rose would probably be a better post presence than him with his penetration and speed.

I would trade both Jalen Rose and Malik Rose for Blake Griffin.

and this one is even crazier. Unless he thinks Jalen Rose is still here.

At little too keenly on-point there, Sam . . .

don't think he got the joke

I have been a Bulls fan for a long time, my father was a Bulls fan growing up and I sort of inherited it. My question is: Why do people keep suggesting to trade Kirk Hinrich? He’s the best overall player on the team. He has hustle, he has heart, he plays defense (like someone in the NBA should), he can score at will. Plus, he is consistently good. Ben Gordon can hit 3’s all he wants but when it comes down to it, he does not have consecutive good games and he can’t play defense. I think that the Bulls should sign-and-trade Gordon and the 26th pick, and look for a big man. They should start Hinrich and Rose. It’s puts pressure off of Rose and allows him to become a scorer, which he can be. Plus, it can mess with other teams. Two point guards that can also score? Match up nightmare. Plus on D, Hinrich can take the scorer (which he usually does) and Rose can still manage the team. Please do not get rid of Hinrich. He is too valuable.

Vinny

sam, sam,

saaaaammmm!

But the Bulls do need someone inside to draw the defense, which is why they cannot continue with Tyrus and Noah. If Deng can get healthy, I’d like to see him get more postup opportunities.

me no like-y!!!!!!!! seemed to me, the team finally started to look like something when a bulls coach finally played these two together! (even if it was forced on him by injury.)

i’m sure shaq is available….

and ben vs kirk isn’t enough, now noah must be pitted against tyrus? ugh!

The less Tyrus rebounds, the less I like him.

His REB has fallen each year he’s been in the league…to the point that, as of now, he’s actually pretty bad at it. I mean – I was willing to say he’d be a better rebounder as he’s gained strength. But to actually get worse?

Bring on Dejuan Blair.

almost

all young players get worse at offensive rebounding. sometimes (hopefully) this is offset by improved defensive rebounding as they go through their career.

i like blair a lot, but doubt he’ll be there for the bulls….

Jumper go!

Three things you must know:
-"Ben Gordon is a bundle of muscle and clutch. That's all he's made of. Drink BG7 energy drink, you'll grow a pair of balls on your balls."
-Pau Gasol: The defense of a seven foot ladder paired with the post presence of Manute Bol.
-Joakim Noah is better than you.
