Bulls Trade James Johnson To Toronto

[Zan Tabak]

The D-Will trade makes me think the likelihood of picking up OJ is very small now... Memphis are in a good spot to try grab a playoff spot with Utah seemingly in a free fall now...

Ha! Utah will be fine.

Who?

I don't get how 2 first rounders aren't enough to get Lee.

some teams over-rate the crap out of players.

i was talking in a mavs thread yesterday and someone was telling me that they wouldn't give up jj barea to get wilson chandler.

its hilarious.

You were probably talking to one of your alter egos as usual.

They are already a threat. THis moves will just put it in the Celtics level, or lcchip level

No it doesn't, and i'm telling you this as a Bulls fan. They need another ball handler in the the backcourt who can consistently beat guys off the dribble because Rose is not going to be scoring 35 points every game carrying his team deep in a multiple playoff series. It's not going to happen especially with the deep defensive backcourts they will be facing in the postseason.

James Johnson is getting a whole lot of minutes tonight:
Through three quarters, he has:

26 minutes, 8 points, and four boards. (2-4 shooting).

They don't need that strong of a backcourt when they have Noah and boozer inside. Plus they have Deng and a good bench. What they need is a scorer that can hit from the outside and take some weight from Rose's shoulder. Remember that this team (-Boozer) almost beat a Celtics team 2 years ago.

People are not thinking straight with this move. Every 1st rounder has a 3 year contract attached with it but with this trade, they got rid of that for a player who's potential has not even been tapped and without that 3-year contract attached. I love this trade for the factor that Johnson was supposed to be a lottery pick for a while there, and with the right playing time, who knows what might happen.

Can we please do something with that idiot, Bargnani, now?

Just wait.. in about 5 years.. we will be THE superteam.

I wish we could find someone stupid enough to take him.

Well, he is pretty cheap for a 25 ppg jump-shooting stick. Keep him until there is a much better option to replace him.

To be exact, it isn't a 25 ppg player and he isn't exactly cheap....
