and the problem is that throughout the course of the season, none of those concerns were alleviated. so all we have for him is hope. and if it doesn't work out, we're left watching the playoffs on tv and helping chicago become an elite team in the league.

Elite? LOL. most elite teams make it out of the first round. omg, the grass is always greener I guess. I know, I know, they have all that cap room to throw at Nazr Mohammed this summer... LOL. I thought this was the no whining thread?

helping chicago BECOME...as in, in the future, as in with the cap room we gave them, and the high #1, and with paxson running the show, yeah, they have the pieces to become an elite team in the league.

in this case dude, the grass IS greener. don't tell me you wouldn't trade chicago's situation with ours...

they have money to throw at Nazr or Joel or perhaps 4 time DPOY center Big Ben.

Eddy whose go to move is try and dunk through the defender has a better chance to become a superstar in comparison to say an Adam Morrison who can score from anywhere on the court, find people in the passing game, get to the line...the no realism thread

okay, so you're being realistic with Big Ben on the Bulls and Adam Morrison not becoming a bust? He cried on the court. Cried. He's slow. He already has a nickname in the league - Dinner. He's KVH 2 at best.

as Briggs said in another thread today - you look at all the teams left in the playoffs and they all have superstars. Eddy has a chance to become that. No one in this draft has a better chance. the Bulls are in the playoffs, have good young players, they're in a good situation. the draft pick was gone in October. whether Larry didn't try so hard to throw away the season and we gave them the 10 pick or 9 pick or the season imploded and we gave them the 2 pick, the pick was gone in October. I'm pretty happy with the talent base this team has. I'm furious with the power struggle going on between Larry and Isiah and it needs to be resolved one way or the other before the draft. I think their power struggle led to the bullsh!t Francis and Jalen trades as well as the record this season. you can't have the kind of mixed message. you can't have a Brown camp and an Isiah camp in the lockerroom.

I have a personal distaste for Larry, but obv one of the two needs to go more than any player. The draft pick being so high is a result of that struggle, and shouldn't be pinned on Eddy. Eddy is a great piece. Honestly, there aren't too many players I'd trade Eddy for in this draft. Tyrus Thomas is impressive, but he's hardly a complete player. All these guys have flaws. If we were giving up a shot at DWade or Bron or Dwight Howard, fine, horrible, catastrophic. I know folks here like to look at the draft and I do too, but let's realize, this is not the end of the world. We have a good talent base. We need a management/coaching staff that is 100% on the same page.

he cried on the court is supposed to be an idictment. He CARES.

Rumor has it Eddy cried when McDonalds stop selling McRibs. He's slow in a Jerry's Kids kind of way. He already has a knickname - Dinner. He's Oliver Miller 2 at best.

see, you have to resort to fantasy: the Bulls will get Big Ben, who will somehow leave Detroit after 4 straight years in the conf Finals or Finals and 4 out of 5 DPOYs on a team he loves in a city where is loved... Eddy Curry is slow. yeah, he's really slow, that's why he can't be guarded straight up by 95% of the league... Morrison cried on the court before the game was over. I don't really care about that, but this fantasy that he's anything more than a shooter who will be far too slow to guard Lebron and Paul Pierce and Marion and Jamison and Josh Howard and Prince.... come on, man.

I didn't read that post. For myself, I'm not a huge Adam Morrison fan, but he's still ultra aggresive on the offensive end, and Keith Van Horn really isn't. He needed and needs to be nurtured (Sp?) for his play to be elevated, and Adam doesn't seem like he does. But big wow. Regardless, I think AM will be a very good player in the league.

McK1, saying he's Oliver Miller 2 at best is jumping to conclusions a little fast

and crzydups saying Adam is KVH 2 before he ever steps foot on an NBA court isn't?

curry has already eclipsed anything fat ass oliver miller has ever done, curry is 10x the athlete, miller was, and you know that.... Adam morrison will be lucky if he can be as good as KVH was his first few years in the league.... Morrison has yet to hit one basket in this league. So the chances of morrison being KV2 are much greater than curry being miller who he already eclipsed...
