Bulls in trade talks for Rudy ***?

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I misread the meaning Gusto. My bad. Yeah...hard to believe. But it may be Doug they are after to fit with Karl at a lower cost than *** who takes too many shots. Karl likes to spread around the scoring and have a team, not a focal point.

He may want to move ***, and is targeting McD. They may not even want Taj, but the impetus is Doug, but to make it happen they have to take on Taj. Maybe even cut him after. We are shedding Taj's contract and getting Rose more of the talent in line with what his brother wants. Rose should know *** well from team U.S.A.

But the Kings drafted Stauskas before Doug, and then they moved on from him. So I don't know how much more Doug gives them than that.

I'd do it but no draft pick to them. They need big time help in place of Dunleavy and *** does have a lot of skills. They haven't had a decent SF since Deng who was a good player. *** doesn't bring defense but apparently the new regime doesn't care about defense. Also, Gibson will probably not be happy under the new scheme of things because of their change in defensive philosophy. So, as I am a huge Gibson fan, he deserves to go to a place where his talents are appreciated.

 

[The Hawk]

He's played on better teams?

Don't confuse Gus by outlining facts.

 

[The Hawk]

I'm saying Dun fits into a team better than Rudy.

Oh my God........... that is just Hilarious. Quick, tell us another one of your "gems" of insight. Try to make it over two sentences though if it doesn't tax your brain too much

 

[The Hawk]

Hard for me to believe anybody could be high on Taj at this point.

That figures since you know nothing about basketball.

 

[The Hawk]

Dunleavy is the worst starting SF in the NBA. Period. End Of Story.

 

[Shepard]

If you're the Bulls- you don't blink on this.

Don't get me wrong- I love Dun, but Rudy *** and Jimmy Butler flying around on the wings? Throw in Niko to start at the 4 next to Pau at the 5. That team fits Hoiberg perfectly.

Besides- outside of Game 1...Dun was atrocious in the Cleveland series. The JR Smiths & Iman Shumperts of the world won't outplay ***.

Once again, I find it difficult to believe that he's worse than Wesley Johnson and Kyle Singler. Terrence Ross also.

It's not out of the question to think teams are a little wary of a guy coming off a down year and offseason ankle surgery.

 

[The Hawk]

I like it. No offense to dunleavy but we havent had a legit sf since deng. Rudy fits the bill. And he is only 29.

I'd say that they really need to make sure his ankle is okay after surgery.

 

[The Hawk]

There's a reason Rudy *** doesn't have a lot of playoff games in hus career and Dunleavy does.

Gee. Maybe he didn't have a lot of good players with him(***)?

 

[clonetrooper264]

Really? I remember him having a couple decent games

 

[Naptastic]

It would be nice to have ***, but I don't see the point as it doesn't push us into title contenders. Better to keep the young, inexpensive players and develop them. Trade Taj, but not our young players.

 

[Crystallas]

I'd like ***. I don't like his contract. We already have a few too many contracts that hurt cap flexibility.

I think his contract expires after this year...unless he just signed a new one.

two years and a player option

bottom line here is Hoiberg seems to value versatility evidenced by mcdermott trying to do more than just spot up shooting at the summer league games. Neither duneleavy or mcdermott can create their own shot or put pressure on a defense like *** can. *** can post up very well, solid mid range shot, his 3pt shot has improved and is a solid defender. This would also allow butler and *** to switch on pick and rolls without giving up much of an advantage. Gibson is winding down, i love his tenacity however its better to try and get value for him now before he completely breaks down.

The other scenario may be if *** is traded for, he may come off the bench to lead the 2nd team which do have many options at creating shots. A 2nd team of brooks, snell, ***, portis and noah would be formidable and also put less pressure on portis as he is still getting up to speed.

Ah boo...thought he was an expiring. NEVER MIND THEN

Bulls arent going to take that contract to have him come off the bench.

You could be right and I won't split hairs with you but that is faint praise
