As of opening day Rose won't start, but he will definitely take that spot from Kirk

I envision
Rose
Kirk or Thabo (I have a feeling Ben will be signed and traded for a quality big man, and Hinrich played the 2 a lot at Kansas).
Deng
Tyrus
Noah

If they could somehow move Nocioni for a big man, they could re sign Gordon and bring him off the bench where he’s best suited. Buy out Larry Hughes and send him to hell, and sign a durable backup PG like Chucky Atkins.

because you're picking late anyway and don't anticipate any big roster moves.

so instead of stunting some guy by not playing him or having in the rotation, have him continue to play in his premiere league overseas.

He's not that big, and can't play the PG or SG particularly well

Bowen lacks range

Any wing player in the NBA can hit wide open 3’s.

And he’s a million years old, so he’s not that much quicker.

Luc can't hit even open 3's

and I guess their speed is comparable now..i took that to mean Bruce Bowen in his prime

Bulls trade for Turkish center Omer Asik...

Link:

The Bulls later traded Sonny Weems (selected with the 39th pick) to the Denver Nuggets for Denver’s 2009 regular second round Draft pick. The Bulls then acquired Omer Asik from the Portland Trail Blazers (selected with the 36th pick) for Denver’s 2009 regular second round Draft pick, New York’s 2009 regular second round Draft pick, and the Bulls 2010 regular second round Draft pick.

they gave portland 3 second round picks?

Really interesting point made yesterday re: Euro Players

Someone on ESPN made this point:

With the relative strength of the Euro against the Dollar, many of the lower picked European players don’t have as large of an incentive to come over here nowadays.

Kinda crazy that you can make more money over in the Euro leagues nowadays. But I can see why. I lived in Europe in 06 and it just killed my bank account. Well worth it though.

by 815Sox on Jun 27, 2008 10:06 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah many European players also sign contracts with no buyout clauses

Meaning if you draft them and they’re under contract, you’re fucked until it expires.

Most European players have done all they can overseas though, and come to NBA for the competition. Guys like Rudy Fernandez was the equivalent of Kobe in Spain, so coming to the NBA will be a new test for him. I am intrigued by the Turkish guy the Bulls got. His contract will be up in 2 years, meaning he develops on his own and comes as a ready to play guy in 2 seasons. He was highly rated by Ford and Hollinger, who considered him a lottery pick.

by Ozzie Montana on Jun 27, 2008 11:25 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I was also surprised

By the Turkish soccer teams performance in the Euro cup. I think they are full EU members now.. I’ve had a couple friends that went there and loved the place.
