If he can just teach Eddy to jump for rebounds that will be improvement enough. 6 in 41 minutes last night?

Thats it in a nutshell. If Eddy shows up next October in shape and ready to play NBA ball on both ends we can be OK. Otherwise it will be more of the same.

they have 2 draft picks, a first rounder from chicago and their own 2nd rounder.

they have some pieces that i'm sure teams would consider dealing for (nate, frye.........um......well we'll just have to rely on other GMs stupidity as well, isiah isnt the only jackass running a team)

so 2 draft picks (which isiah has proven to be good at) and potential for trades (where isiah has been fleeced a few times). should be interesting

So we have one late 1st round pick. Considering every team gets a pick and most will be ahead of us (and most have 2nd round picks and players with reasonable salaries), it's just wishful thinking to say Isiah will improve the team with roster changes.

isn't it conceivable that he could trade nate or frye? even jamal, tho unlikely? even one of our less tradables (q, jj2, francis) if he included the bulls' pick?

btw what's the rule on when we'd be able to trade the bulls' pick, since we traded our #1 last year as well?

Where do you expect the Bull's pick to be? 20/21? This is the one area I have complete trust in Isiah for. Hell, I almost trust him more with the late first rounders than early.
Not expecting him to find a star or even another Lee, but there are still plenty of very good players out there at 20.
