July 02 2008

Sources from some website says Bulls & Heats are lining up for clippers Elton Brand who make a great impact of unbeaten run since return from his injuries. Bulls are to prepare to offload Hinrich, Noah, Nocioni or even Ben Gordon if he's doesn't want to extend his contract for Elton Brand. Luol Deng is believed will sign contract because of the incoming of Derrick Rose who will share the team responsibility for him. Derrick Rose is believed to make everyone better and make a great partnership with Luol Deng like Jordan and Pippen in the last time. It is believed that Rose will trigger Tyrus Thomas to become a scoring beast machine will spectacular dunks and alley oops in the court. Sefalosha has become more of a starting lineup and has become a great defender against those star players in the NBA as well as improving in his shots.
Aaron Gray is much better than Noah in playing as a center and should get more minutes in playing center role.

Reccomended Bulls Starting Lineup for next season:
C Elton Brand / Gooden
PF Tyrus Thomas
SF Luol Deng
SG Sefalosha
PG Derrick Rose

Why Bulls should start with his lineup.
Derrick Rose (PG):
let's begin with Derrick Rose. I Believe no doubt Derrick Rose is the starting PG. He is a leader and has athelethism. Actually he's a great scorer too. From some of his clip in NCAA, he actually scores pretty well in 3pts and 2pts. One best thing about him than other NBA PG is that he actually dare to muscle out with other players and can score. Remember MJ? He is also the type of Guard that muscles out the defenders and scores. Rose is also good at defending and Assisting. He is fast just like other PG like Chris Paul. One thing he is better is that he is strong in term of his size. He is muscular which ables him to challenge other Fowards or Centers.

Thabo Sefalosha (SG)
Thabo Sefalosha is a tall and good defender and has a long wingspan enables him to defend star players like Wade in Heats. He is quite fast and steady. He has been improving in his scoring. I think he partner with Rose at the backcourt would enhance more of the defence.

Luol Deng (SF)
Luol Deng has been one of the few who is consistent in his scoring stat. Good in both attack and defence. He has to take up much of the responsibility in this season. But with derrick rose around. He will be much more free up as a forward and get to hoop.

Tyrus Thomas (PF)
Actually i see great potential from Tyrus Thomas. He has an unusual vertical leaps and athelelism which enables him to deliver powerful and unstoppable dunk and offensive Rebound. He need PG like Derrick Rose to trigger him into a beast scoring machine. He is also a rebounder with his unusual vertical leaps. Saw some clips, i found out that Duhon actually assists him alot in scoring in term of alley oops. Unfortunately Duhon is likely to leave. Thomas need to add more muscles and weight to become a threat in low post. He need more forcus.

Elton Brand / Drew Gooden (C)
Though this 2 players are not the true center. But they actually can play well in low post. Since the return from injury of Elton Brand, he has never lost any touch in his ability to score and help clipper to have an unbeaten run including winning against big teams like Lakers and Jazz. He is a consistent scorer with 20+ pts and has a long wing span which enables him to get more rebounds and blockshot. If Bulls can't get Brand, Put in Drew Gooden. Drew Gooden has some decent scoring and couple of Rebounds. He is quite a good player and can be a good center with his height. He is mature and steady and can give some defence and offence presence in bulls.

Who are players should bulls trading away?
Kirk Hinrich - I can't see his ability as a point guard though he has some good touch of the shots. He make alot of mistakes including the open lay up ending passing to Noah which he misses. He can't defend tall and fast players. I think other teams who need some 3pts shooting can acquire him over.
J.Noah - Aaron Gray is much better than him. Noah is undersize and doesn't have a scoring touch. But with his height i think other team might want to acquire him.
Nocioni - He is abit inconsistent in this season. I think Bulls can stick with him as a sixth man. Actually I see Nocioni quite similar to tonic kukoc who can score 3pts and dribbling and passing.
Ben Gordon - He can perform well coming from bench more than starting lineup. He has some great touch in 3pt but has been inconsistent. Doubt he will stay as a sixth man. He can be traded for bigger moves like elton brand or other big name players who can scores in low post.

Bulls should actually keep Chris Duhon who make a great impact in this season. I think he has become strong and better and mature in assisting and scoring.

June 30 2008

Sources say Steve Blake is on the move with PF Channing Frye and cash considerations for Monta Ellis and 2010 first round pick

 

June 29 2008

I am a huge Miami Heat Fan and so excited for the upcoming off season to take place...However, looking at our line up we need to make a few changes:

First of all Haslem is an outstanding PF but he is even better trade bait. Package him, Jayson Williams, and Mark Blount for Elton Brand.

DO NOT resign Ricky "Has-Been" Davis and instead go after Baron Davis.

I envision something like this going into October 08:

C- Brand
PF- Beasly
SF- Marion
SG- Wade
PG- Davis.B

Welcome Back Miami Heat!

BREAKING NEWS!! Lebron James is going to get traded to the Detroit Pistons for Walter Sharpe.

Cleveland sends wally szczerbiak and anderson varejao to new jersey for vince carter

Raymond felton and nazr mohammed to denver for marcus camby

 

June 27 2008

I saw on a blog that SA Spurs had inquired about a possible Tony Parker to LA Lakers for Lamar Odom and Sasha Vujacic deal. Crazy??? I'm not so sure. It kind of makes sense for both teams and the respective players.

Detroit sends Miami Chauncey, Tayshaun, #29 pick.
Miami sends to Detroit Shawn Marion and #2 pick.

Miami gets the experienced PG they need to compliment D.Wade. With Tayshuaun they gain a consistant SF, or possible trade bait. Either way they make the playoffs.

Detroit gets an explosive, experienced SF that they are looking for, and eitherdraft Beasley for a dominant front court or trade the #2 for an experienced big.

 

June 26 2008

Rumor from a Bulls source says there have been talks to trade Luol Deng and Ben Gordon for the No. 2 pick in tomorrow's draft.

To Miami:
Chauncey Billups
Tayshaun Prince
#29 Pick

To Detroit:
Shawn Marion
#2 Pick

Baron Davis + Al Harrington to Pistons for
Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace

The Jazz will sign williams and Boozer to multi year extensions!

 

June 25 2008

Los Angeles Lakers must add a strong player like Shawn Marion and Ron Artest soon

Carmelo Anthony for Dwayne Wade......

Lamar odom and Luke Walton to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson

LAL
C Bynum
PF Gasol
SF Jefferson
SG Bryant
PG Fisher

NJ
C Kristic/Robin Lopez (#21)
PF Odom
SF Walton/Joe Alexander (#10)
SG Carter
PG Devin Harris

*Lakers Grizzlies trying to make a deal

Lakers will get Marc Gasol for Chris Mihm

Marc Gasol would be a back up for center Andrew Bynum.
Phil would want in the game Center Marc Gasol and Forward Pau Gasol in one line up the Gasol Brothers will dominate the key.

And for the Grizzlies they need a experienced Center than a newly Center coming from Europe.*

 

June 24 2008

From close sources, the Lakers have been talking with the Miami Heat. A trade for the second pick overall along with Marion for a package around Lamar Odom. Other players such as the very intelligent Luke Walton, promising point guard Jordan Farmar and a sharp shooter in Vladmire Radmonovic along with cash. Sources say that L.A. is trying hard in order to make Miama pull the trigger. Lakers would most likely be dealing with giving up another 1st round pick in the future to pull ofF this deal but Laker managment is trying hard to gain the rights of either Rose/Beasley and Marion.
Depending on Chicago's choice Lakers could be looking at a run and gun back court with possible Rose/Kobe/Marion. If Chicago chooses to stay with Rose Lakers could be reasonably big with an outstanding player coming of the bench for them in Michael Beasley. Fisher/Kobe/Marion in the back court along with Pau and Bynum up front coming along with Beasley off the Bench.

This is a surprise one, I have heard it from my aunt who cleans the locker rooms in Staples Center.

To Lakers

Kevin Garnett (BOS)
Paul Pierce (BOS)

Tracy mcGRADY (HOU)

Lebron James could be traded to the Lakers for Lamar Odom, Shasha Vujahic, Vladmair Ramanivic, and a future 1st round pick. This trade would happen in 2009

I heard that Toronto might trade T.J and their draft pick for Borris Diaw

The Raptors are close to completing a 3 team trade with the Blazers and Knicks. Here is the outlook.

To Blazers:
PG Stephon Marbury(Knicks)
SF Joey Graham(Raptors)
SF Renaldo Balkman(Knicks)
SG Mardy Collins(Knicks)

PF Raef Lafrentz(Blazers)
C Joel Pryzbilla(Blazers)

To Raptors:
SG Jamaal Crawford(Knicks)

IF this trade were to happen, it would happen on draft day. The Raptors will also be looking at free agents Luol Deng and Mikael Pietrus.

The bucks trade Mo Williams and Charlie Villanueva to the T'wolves for Ryan Gomes, Chris Richards and the 3 overall pick.

The bucks also trade Michael Redd to the Mavericks for Brandon Bass and Josh Howard
OR
Trade Michael Redd and the 37 pick to the Suns for Leandro Barbosa and Boris Diaw. Then trade Mo Williams.

 

June 21 2008

Bucks trade Michael Redd & Dan Gadzuric & 2nd round pick to Clippers for Corey Maggette & Shaun Livingston

The rumored trade in the Portland area is Martell Webster, the #13 pick, and one other blazer for Leandro Barbosa.

Boston-Golden State
Golden State: James Posey and 1st Rd pick (30th pick)
Boston: Monte Ellis

Miami Heat sent Dwyane Wade and 2#pick(rose) to Chicago Bulls for Kirk Hinrich,Thabo Sefolosha,Larry Hughes without 1#pick(bensley) or with Bensley
Kirk Hinrich,Nichols Demetris and 1#pick

I have always been a big Chicago Bulls fan and would like nothing more for them to climb to the top of the NBA again. There are only a few moves that I feel they need to make in order to get there.

Kirk Hinrich and Andres Nocioni for Miami's #2 pick. This way the Bulls can get Rose AND Beasley.

Larry Hughes, Ben Gordon, and Cedric Simmons for Jermaine O'Neal.

Sign free agents Michael Finley and Anthony Carter.

Move Deng to SG. The lineup would look like this (and there would be a ton of versatility).

Starters
PF Jermaine O'Neal
SF Michael Beasley
C Joakim Noah
SG Luol Deng
PG Derrick Rose

Bench
C Aaron Gray
PF Drew Gooden
PF Tyrus Thomas
SF Michael Finley
SG Thabo Sefolosha
