Bust.

That's what I mean, He won't be a top 5 pick

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

Randolph will be a Clipper

Guess you missed my post right above this.

But I certainly don't think they need rose. Beasley would actually work well, but I don't think Deandre Jordan would be a bad pick for them to take via a trade down a few slots.

You posted that while i was in the middle of replying.

Deandre Jordan? You mean Chicago should add yet another undeveloped big man? Arent you tired of thier frontcourt being nothing but projects or guys allergic, incapable of giving you production downlow worth a damn? Geeze, D.Jordan is no different than Tyrus Thomas, J.Noah. In terms of adding a young talent who will rely on his athletic ability and hopefully over time develop thier actual skill.

If you trade down, in that trade you better be bringing back a productive player. Otherwise its really stupid to move down. Better off taking that icecream cone over Jordan. Atleast Lopez can score. How effective in the NBA? Remains to be seen, but you dont gotta wait 4-5yrs thats for sure.

Bad GM you are.

Its Rose or Beasley. Only other option? A deal you cant refuse.

The crazy thing is the Bulls only had a 1.7% chance of getting the No. 1 pick!!! This has to be the lowest probability to win the lottery ever. I remember the NJ Nets in 2000 had a 4.4% chance and they got the No. 1 pick. But anyone know if this is the lowest probability to ever win a draft lottery?

[FireMcFailPlease]

Tell that to the Hawks who drafted Marvin Williams ahead of CP3 despite them needing a PG forever. Marvin Williams was thought of to be seriously mega talented.

At some point, draft for need.

Marvins college career vs Mayos?

Marvin didnt even start and there isnt a dominant PG after Rose.

[ryantheporchkid]

Bulls select Rose or get in on possible Melo trades. Chicago isn't close enough to a championship to draft Beasley.

This completely ****ed up my day.

+2 im so tight right now

im hoping Mayo falls or Bayless if they are both taken then i either trade or take D.J Augustin hes what the knicks need now

[GOBB]

Brook Lopez? Come on, Oj Mayo is the best choice to play with Al Jefferson. I don't care how many guards Minnesota has. Foye can play with Mayo and McCants can take a back seat.

Don't they have Telfair too, they can get rid of that wanna be thug for a slightly less poser.

Yeah add OJ Mayo then tell me who plays Center for your team.

"But but but....





Robin Lopez. Put him next to Al Jefferson and go. Downlow is set for years.

Me too, though it's unlikely. I hope to God we don't get Gordon. My gut feeling just says he's gonna be a bust.

I have a feeling that we end up with that euro kid and he ends up a bust.

it's all on memphis though, if they pass up on mayo or bayless for a big man we could still get one of them.

Where do the sonics go at #4?

Lopez? Bayless?

[Jasi]

D'Antoni will pick Gallinari, you mark my words.

He also played with guy's father, back in his Milan days...

Lopez? Bayless?

BPA or explore a trade.

[veilside23]

^ to answer mr swift.. i think as crazy as it may sound seatlle will get deandre jordan...

minny should get lopez... they need a legit center...

[RobertSwift31]

BPA or explore a trade.

But who do you think will be the BPAs at #4. It seems like a clear top 2 and then a group of 4-6 depending on who you ask.
