Now that the draft is over there is still work to be done in the off season. I expect a sign and trade deal with Andres Nocioni, Chris Duhon and maybe even add a pick if it means getting a proven low post player. I would really like to see Curry as more of a PG instead of a 2 gaurd otherwise it would be like having another Gordon and had the team wanted help at the 2 gaurd they easily could have gotten a bigger player. The Bulls could still make improvements this off season.
Possible lineup:
PG: Kirk Hinrich, Steve Blake or Chucky Artkins, JamesOn Curry
SG: Ben Gordon, DeShawn Stevenson, Thabo Sefolosha
SF: Luol Deng, ?, Viktor Khryapa, Adrian Griffin
PF: Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah, , low post scorer from trade

I think that would be a good lineup
why does everyone want to trade nocioni? he is not that expensive of a contract, is pretty damn good, and loves chicago. what about trading deng? noc would be his replacement at sf. deng is the guy you can get real value for in a low post presence not nocioni even though i think noc is only a notch below deng as a player. unfortunately paxson has deng rated higher than jordan. everyone wants to trade nocioni but he will not bring in a good low post presence deng will.
Noc is a good player in a weak class of FA's, so any S&T would net us a pretty good player in return. Plus, we proved last year that we don't need Noc in the lineup to play well, making him expendable. I would hate to see him go, because he is one of my favorite players, but if we get a good post player in return, that would definitely ease the pain.
