The Bulls Need a Shooting Guard.

[Pooh25]

After, last night's game it's pretty evident that we need a solid or above-average shooting guard. Bogans and Korver won't cut it because Korver is one-dimensional and he let too many easy buckets arise last night. Bogans simply does not score and is offense is overrated. There was no need for Bogans to dive for the ball because it was deflected and would have been Bulls ball anyways.

 

Brewer is still recovering, but he needs to practice more on his jumper and his three point shot, but that's a pipe dream because he suffered a freakish injury on his hand when he was a kid.

 

This is a list of shooting guards I thought from the top of my head:

 

- Stephen Jackson: He's a good defender, scorer, and he has some attitude but it's some attitude you want on your team. He gets to the line as well. Charlotte want's their pick back and SJAX has only two years left on his contract.

 

- Aaron Affalo: Inexpensive and solid shooting guard.

 

- OJ Mayo: Doubtful because Memphis has no need for Taj Gibson or to deal Mayo yet.

 

- Jason Richardson: Scorer and another playmaker.

 

- Ben Gordon: Bulls don't take back ex-players that they made mistakes on, but I wish they did.

 

- Kevin Martin: Doubtful --- Pay king's ransom for him out of Houston and he's injury prone as well.

 

Who do you think we should acquire or pursue?

We can't get any of the guys you mentioned unfortunately, all for the common reason that their team needs them (yes, even Afflalo). I hope we can get Marcus Thornton since he is getting no love at NO, but no matter what, we really don't have any expendable pieces that other teams would be interested in. Also, we only got 1.4 mil left of cap space, so that's only enough for a vet minimum.

 

Danthay Jones could be another option given how he is not even in the rotation for Indy, but he's only a better version of Keith Bogans.

 

To be honest, I wished we re-signed Flip Murray because he can really score.

I wish the Bulls could have somehow kept Ben Gordon. A line up of Rose-Gordon-Deng-Boozer-Noah would have been really good. A really balanced team and the Bulls already are pretty deep

Gordon's defense is atrocious though and he would be abused by the big shooting guards.

I wish we kept Kirk Hinrich and got James Anderson as a result of the first round pick. We would be set and could make a huge play on Melo if we had Kirk's expiring contract and if Deng and Taj continue to play like this.

 

The deal would've went like this: Deng, Hinrich, Taj, Picks for Melo & Affalo.

[Newman]

We would have been over the cap with Kirk though and probably wouldn't have been able to get all these role players in along with Boozer.

[Dash]

Jason Richardson is your best bet if Phoenix decides to rebuild but Chicago doesn't have the assets to pull off a trade. Chicago just needs to continue to hold the fort down until Brewer and Boozer are healthy, and see how they perform.

[The Lone Granger]

Would you have any interest in either Brandon Rush or Dahntay Jones from the Pacers? I know that Rush would add another athletic, shooting perimeter player for you guys. He also brings some decent defense, and if he can gain his confidence, he could really turn into a scoring 2-guard. Also Dahntay is definitely on the trading block. He's an excellent defender, and while he can't shoot the three, he can get the bucket unlike any other player I've seen, and he's a very good foul shooter as well. His defense is also very solid. Just a thought. And if you would be interested, who are some players that you guys would be interested in moving?

[Pooh25]

Bulls don't want Brandon Rush nor Jones because Bogans is better then Jones because Bogans can hit the 3. Brewer is better then Rush as shown by last game where he's slowly recovering.

 

The only person the Bulls have interest in is Granger and Indy wants a kings ransom for him
