rose has been terrible.

agreed. hopefully for the sake of the league rose and WB both mature into better point guards. if i were them i'd be watching steve nash tapes all summer. they'd be unguardable if they understood when to take over and when to set other ppl up.

rose looks gassed. hasn't come out since the 2nd q.

he's played 48 minutes and been guarded by lebron. clearly is exhausted.

He started the game horribull...he was like 1-7fg at one point. It's been an overall trend.

Pray that Howard is smart and doesn't just want to play with an aging Kobe; he may have a good year or 2 with some semblance of a team, but after that he would be left with nothing when Kobe fades.

Booz and Deng have flat-lined and I am not sure if Noah gets dramatically better offensively unless he completely changes hit shooting technique. Bulls need to upgrade SG and hope Taj gets some offense.

I can see them trading their 2 picks and perhaps a player for either a vet SG or to move up in draft.

martin - seriously - who are they going to get at SG who would make a difference? there is really no one out there they could get who would be a game changer for them.

Gerald Wallace, Kevin Martin, the guy from Sacramento (who had a soph slump) - none of those guys are coming - and those are the types of guys they'd need at that spot.

Guys like CP3, Deron, Howard are gonna look at their respective teams and come to the conclusion that they have zero chance against the Heat, and their one good chance to join a team with 2 other stars is in NY.

Jason Richardson. But they got to give up something for him. Maybe they take a flier on JR Smith. Jamal Crawford off the bench? Trade for OJ Mayo?
