D Howard Would Join Bulls If God Wants It To Happen

[FirstTimer]

Well that would be good news If we were to make that trade. For some reason I thought you could only use the AC on someone who was already under contract through the new CBA

The AC is for one player who was signed prior to the new CBA

Btw I have no idea how I quotes FT in my last post, I only meant to quote Dem

Not a big fan of Brewer guarding LeBron or Turkoglu guarding LeBron... Butler is a big 'if'... especially on offense.

brewer would be a little out of position..but he'd be capable

i dont think this point really helps you regarding hamilton because as you suggested he'll be guarding wade

Length certainly helps on defense. Just because guy A is longer than guy B at the same position doesn't make guy A a better defender necessarily.

exactly

Rip still has some good quickness for his age. The difference between him and Redick in the reaction depeartment is negligible. And Hamilton knows exactly how to defend Wade in big-game situations and know when and when not to bite on Wade's move. Look at the job Rip did on Wade before he re-aggravated his groin injury. He was putting the clamps down on him.

valid point..the question is can he stay healthy along with how can he help the offense

i dont think rip is a bad defender by any stretch...he's not nearly as quick as he used to be though

also rip will continue to deteriorate regarding his physical tools..meaning he will become more experienced..but less able..while redick is 27

Wade is a great perimeter and help defender has been out a good part of the year and Norris Cole and James Jones have made up his minutes. That has a lot to do with it.

i meant wade, not bosh my bad

i know that has alot to do with it, thats why i showed the % from last year...i think saying that every team struggles outside against the heat is a little hyperbolic...and the importance of the 3 point shooting is not simply shooting the 3 ball itself but the defensive reaction

I'm not too worried about the Bulls' efficiency shooting three's. They should only shoot three's when Miami decided to leave Deng/Rose/Hamilton completely open. A large part of the reason Dallas was able to hurt Miami with the three is because they had four guys on the court who can shoot three's and create off of the dribble at the same time. The Bulls, last year, had one play-maker off the dribble and marginal standing-three-point shooters. That isn't the Bulls' style nor, in my opinion, should it be to shoot a lot of three's- especially against Miami who has great wing rebounding (Wade/James/Battier).

right....because they arent great 3 point shooters

i never suggested the bulls shoot alot of 3s either...the 3 point shooting threat is more important for the defensive reaction...meaning the defense spreads out...again thats important when you have alot of your offense coming close to the lane with rose penetrating..boozer and noah inside....i dont expect that the bulls would be chuckers..

redick is capable of being a double digit scorer though

Yeah. But I'm still fine with that because at least he requires a body on him at all times. I'm not sure Redick does because I don't like him once you make him put the ball on the floor.

he's not really a threat though..he's only taken 19 and made 6 this year...does that help the argument against his % by sample size...yes but it also shows he's not a guy that wont space the floor as much as a more prolific and more accurate 3 point shooter

redick isnt that bad with the ball in his hands....though he's more of an off screen guy...he only averages 1.2 TOs per game..while rip averages 2.1 TOs..there are other factors involved certainly..but

A.i dont think you'd expect redick to put the ball on the floor every possession..and i dont think you'd need to
B.redick isnt terribly careless with the ball in situations that you'd need him to put it on the floor

I really believe he is useless against Miami. Even Mike Miller completely destroyed him (passing/rebounding/driving on him). If he is out there, it better be because they are down by three with a few seconds left or because somebody is in foul trouble.

i think thats a little extreme...korver has been playing better recently..still really confined dimensionally..but as i said early he was the only one that could hit 3s against miami a couple of days ago

There's no denying a lot of variables play into this. Everybody has their own basketball point of view, but I don't think the Bulls can afford to lose both Deng and Hamilton right now and gain only a big man and a weak defending SF.

well..i dont actually like the trade myself that much...mostly because you give up deng

i was joking a little but the idea long term wouldnt be bad imo

Obvious Duke homer is obvious.

Redick is a bench SG.

because orlando's personnel is dumb...lol@jason richardson

He's average at best. He can't handle, is undersized and isn't shit on defense.

average is subjective...but i suppose so...hamilton is pretty average too...

he doesnt have a great handle..but he can handle the ball

really effective off screens

undersized isnt a big issue unless it takes away from defense...and redick is a decent defender

Sounds pretty much like Korver, except Korver is bigger and is a better shooter..Redick is better on defense..but that's basically being the smartest Special person in this matchup.

korver is more one dimensional and not as good an overall scorer

more than 70% of korver shot's are three..while only 36% are 3s are redick(thats a pretty decent size % but not nearly the same as korvers)

sample size? yeah...but korver is still easily more one dimensional

although i know thats not really the point of the comparison..i think redick is a little different than korver

redick is a smart player too

anyway, the biggest advantages in trading for redick is spacing the floor with 3 point shooting and age imo

Three Dwight Howard to Chicago Bulls trades that could work - NBA - ESPN

Dwight: "Big Baby.. it's not because of you that I wanna leave. I swear. It's because of me... I'm the one who wants to follow in the same footsteps of LBJ, Bosh, Melo, Paul, etc. Don't be too hard on yourself"

Davis: "mmmmmmhmmmmmmm w/e girlfraaan."
