well, we have 2 more picks this draft and i'm excited to see what isiah does with the #1 pick.

so that'll give us ariza, sweetney, and 2005's #1 at the worst. that's 3 young players with two already giving you quality minutes.

i think we should probably draft a SG. we have to give up on h20 and get a guy here that can hit a jumpshot consistently. marbury and crawford are erratic and streaky and ariza is a long long long long long ways away from getting one.

they have all, collectively impacted the Bulls in a big way. Deng Duhon and Nocioni have all helped to improve the bulls to the number 1 defense in the league, Gordon is a guy who has impacted W-L with frenetic scoring games, especially in the 4th Q. they have all blnded in well with what they have. It speaks even louder for starting 0-9


we need something of the same, a huge change up, guys who can come in and give efforts that=collectivness and team play instead of individual performance. thats why i like Bogut so much,hes a team player first, a real solid passer from either the high or low post at 7 feet tall. we could use him, then see who slips.

Chris taft is not a bad player, but hes 5 levels down from Bogut.

If you were able to compliment Bogut with a Joey Graham in the first round[ one of the best best perimeter defender in the nation who also shoot close to 60%]a Nate Robinson and lets say a Channing Frye in the 2nd round, that would give us a lot of new blood where we need it

back up PG
we need help anywhere but if we had something like this, the number 1 thing acquiring Bogut, that we could become better faster.

We need to suck for this season, and trade players for another top 10 to 15 pick.

so in other words you mean we need to suck the rest of this season, land a high lottery pick, suck next season, land a high lottery pick, & suck for the next couple years after that & end up a young team w/a barely above .500 record? is that really the path to an NBA championship in your eyes?

I think what Briggs is saying is that we need young players who have the desire to win. Players that leave it all on the floor. In that regard, he is right. Our players look like they just don't care at all about what is happening on the floor. Most of them don't seem motivated at all. Briggs is just using the Bulls rookies as examples, and they are great examples. Look at the Bulls last season and now look at them this season. The effort is there, they are working hard every nigh and a lot of it is due to the hustle play of deng, nocioni, etc. Each and every one of those rookies play hard and they play a team game. That is what we need.

either get lucky like the Spurs or bring in championship players like West did when he brought in shaq and Dumars bringing in Rip, Chauncey, Ben and Sheed and drafting prince. thats how you win championships. Not starting 5 rookies and CBA players for 7 years.

the other thing is the Bulls have been at this for 6 years and this is their best so far. Also they gave up next years #1 for the extra one this year. They have also used top 5 picks on Jason Williams and Fizer. They have also had Chandler and Curry for 4 years now.

They did get a good crop... when you draft high every year hitting one out of 6 isnt that great.

young bigs take 4 years to develop - they'd be college seniors now.

jason williams and fizer could have been good. they didnt have skiles teaching them.
