Both teams are struggling and both teams are mostly young. The Bulls could use some inside scoring. The Knicks need d and a point guard who can run the show intelligently. My proposed trade would involve Nate + either Curry or Zach for Heinrich and Tyrus Thomus. The Bulls would get their inside scorer, the Knicks would be a better defensive team.

I thought about a trade like this especially after Skiles seemed to have soured on Thomas the last week or so. Not sure we can get Heinrich back in that deal but Thomas or Noah may be possible.

Curry and Wallace would protect each other and I think it could work out. Bulls obviously need the interior threat. I would do it but no draft picks please.

Sounds kind of good on paper, but I'm pretty skepticle about making anymore deals with chicago. Particularly, since it was chicago whom we got Curry from. Remember? They dumped' him on us. Why would they take him back? And I'd rather keep Zach for now, of the two.
I'll never trust this' team again.

I think we should keep trading with Chicago 'til we break even...

That's called gambling.

Duhon maybe, but we're not getting Hinrich, forget it.

You could tell by all the BS about DNA testing that the Bulls want nothing to do with Curry. No team is gonna give up a solid NBA starter in a trade for Curry, especially not their starting point guard.

Well I'm back in town from a 4 day vacation. I don't think skiles should be fired. All summer long and also in training camp was that thier was going to be a trade with LA for Kobe. I believe that this played with thier heads and killed thier moral.

The right way to do it is double or nothing till we win one. Then quit.

how about D Lee, Balkman & our next 2 1st rounders unprotected for whoever they have that doesn't address any of our needs?

It's a little depressing to think that the last move that was made, afterwards, we still had suckbury, Jerome, Curry & Jeffries on this roster. I've seen so many scenarios of this and that and not one of them can work. I found that the only significant thing about any moves that Isiah makes is the fact that 'he can actually make one'.

no...it's not his fault. but i think at some point, all coaches have a certain shelf life. and in skiles case, it's after a few years. we saw it with him in pheonix as well where he stepped down admitting exactly that. and in their situation, their players have shown that they can win 45-50 games and even win in the playoffs at their young age. so it may be time for a new voice to be heard in their lockerroom.

in terms of x's and o's, alot of bulls fans are not big skiles supporters. they don't feel he's calling the right plays or really helping individual player development. if that's the case, and i don't watch them on a daily basis, then that team needs a teacher as well as a disciplinarian to coach (you know who...or someone in that mold). skiles got schooled by flip in the 2nd round last year. skiles did not make adjustments until game 4 (playing tyrus more) which lead to the bulls only 2 victories.

but i will also say this - i don't think it should happen right now b/c deng has missed the last 3 games so he doesn't have his best player. but eventually, they will go as far as they can with skiles (similar to detroit w/ carlisle) so they will have to replace him.

I think Paxsons bull**** roster is finally playing the way they should have all along. His roster, draft picks.....terrible. Fuck paxson......let him burn man. He talks like he is high and mighty. how many mini ben wallaces do you need?
The dude is an idiot, a lucky idiot. he shoulda traded for gasol or zach......no his roster is too golden and his players are skeet streaks from jesus christ himself.

Fuck paxson.

Thank you.

They should have kept Chandler instead of signing Ben Wallace, who is done playing at a star level. They should've used the money saved to sign someone who could score.
