Does it make more sense to go after a SG in the draft or sign a 30 yr old Jason Richardson or 25 yr old JR Smith? Would it be easier to find a player to buy into Thibs couching philosophy and follow Rose and Noah's work ethic if he is 21/22. Retreads have a shorter shelf life, carry more baggage, and are harder to train the Chicago way. There is a difference between signing players like Watson, Korver, and Brewer v. signing a B/ B- player like Richardson or Smith. Boozer is a good example of signing a B/B- player who is too old to be retrained.

We probably can trade up to get a pick in the teens with the stash of picks we already have. 

I would only trade up to get Marshon Brooks or Alec Burks who are the best two SG IMHO. 

Klay Thompson, Tyler Honeycutt are teir 2

Malcolm Lee and Iman Shumpert are teir 3.

• Tim Grover has compared Brooks to Kobe Bryant with a proven track record in the Big East, great upside, and most NBA ready game. 7 foot wingspan and second leading scorer in the nation.
  
• Burks is rated as the best all-around SG in the Draft with the highest ceiling.
• Thompson is the best shooter and Honeycutt has a great NBA frame and NBA athleticism.
• Lee and Shumpert are the best sleeper combo guards. Both are strong and can play both guard positions
  
  •  
    • Many scouts are saying Lee will follow in Westbrooks footsteps.
      
    • Shumpert is a Chicago kid who plays a lot like a 6'6" Rose.
      
    • Both are great defenders with great strength and tenacity.

WHAT SAY YOU?
