Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
Kaboom!
Bulls don't improve at all.
What position does Luol Deng play?PF?

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
Do the Bulls really need another guard/forward? Salmons is good, I admit, but they already have Rose, Gordon, hinrich, sefolosha, deng, tyrus

I'm not sure how better it would make either team :confusedshrug:

Hinrich is about to be traded. If not then Gordon goes somewhere else this summer.
Now the Thomas jockriders can be happy. The Amare deal is dead.(like it was ever going to happen anyways.

Hinrich-PG
Rose-PG
Gordon-SG
Sefalosha-SG/SF
Deng-SF
Tyrus-PF
I can understand them adding depth but I dont understand why they would make this move unless it is true that they plan to trade Hinrich,& possibly Sefalosha.

Where is Hinrich going?
I'm a Thomas jockrider too; he went to LSU and I remember watching him play in every game while I was there. Dude has potential.
Hopefully he reaches it one day.

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
Good. I'll take it. We get rid of 2 on-court cancers for a couple of solid players. On positions we needed help to boot. Brad Miller can only help given our other big men. John Salmon assures we don't have to play that suicial Rose-Gordon-Kirk 3 guard lineup that VDN puts on so many times. Not to mention what he'll mean to us next season once BG leaves.

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
Not a bad deal for either side. straight Salary dump on SAC side.
Bulls:
Rose/Hinrich
Salmons/Gordon/Sefalosha
Deng
Tyrus Thomas/Noah
Miller/Gray

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
Good trade for the Bulls. A Tyrus-Miller frontline is solid. Salmons will allow them to be able to trade away Hinrich.

[QUOTE=John Dough]Oh yeah, and how could i forget, Larry Hughes... :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Larry Hughes will never play another game for the Chicago Bulls,He last played for the Bulls on January 12th.
Either the Bulls are going to move him or they are going to de-activate him for this season and 1/2 of next season.

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
what would the projected starting lineups look for both the kings and the bulls?

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
Wow the Kings got raped here. I would have given Thornton and Ricky, along with some cash to waive Ricky for Salmons. At least they would have gotten a SF for the future to go alongside Thompson and Hawes in the front court :oldlol:

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
When will the Bulls pull their heads out of their as[I]s[/I]es and trade for A legit superstar who will compliment Rose. I would really hate to be a Bulls fan.

Miller compliments Tyrus well.
But John Salmons is EXACTLY a SG that only played the 3 in Sacramento because they needed him on the court,similar to last season when Artest had to play the 4.

PF- Tyrus
C- Brad Miller
Kings:
PG - Udrih
SG- Martin
SF- Garcia
PF- Thompson
C - Hawes

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
If the Bulls are able to get some real substance out of Brad Miller, then its a win/win trade.

I actually forgot about Deng .. My bad.
I guess then:

With Gordon, Hinrich, Noah off the bench

Bench Luol Deng?
He's having a mediocre season so far considering how much was expected from him but there is no way the Bulls bench Deng in favor of John Salmons.

I forgot about Deng somehow... but yeah, he is having a less than average season. But they definitely won't bench him. I guess Gordon goes back to being a 6th man

Al Thornton>John Salmons.[/QUOTE]
Yes I can. Salmons fits in better then Thornton does as he doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective and is a decent defender. Plus, getting rid of Ricky is great news and gives Steve Novak, Eric Gordon and Fred Jones the minutes that Ricky would have gotten

Bench Ben Gordon?
Ben Gordon worked well as a 6th Man a few years ago but with this current Bulls team he is the only player on that team that can score from at least 15 feet away from the basket.

Well it would either have to be between Salmons & Gordon. I'd go with Salmons. He's having a solid season. Gordon has been a 6th man before...
Idk. It's a tough call.

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
[QUOTE]The Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings have reached tentative agreement on a trade sending Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons to the Kings for Brad Miller and John Salmons, ESPN.com.
One source said the Bulls players were pulled off the team bus Wednesday afternoon and were told they had been traded.
Michael Ruffin of the Bulls also was told be was being traded to Portland in a separate deal, the source added.
Another source said the trade was expected to be finalized by Wednesday evening.
Chris Sheridan covers the NBA for ESPN Insider.[/QUOTE]
So Kings get Simmons too and the Bulls are shipping off Ruffin.
I wonder who they got for Ruffin.
I don't think the Bulls are anywhere near finished.

Re: Aldridge: Bulls to land Salmons, Miller for Nocioni, Gooden
This helps the Bulls. Not a huge move but something that gives them a better 5. We all knew the Amare deal wasnt going to go down.

Chicago still has some jusicy contracts like Ben Gordon or Larry Hughes. And they want to get rid of Hinrich, or they should at least.
We'll see.
