Taj could be our best defending big this year. This trade would probably piss off Thib's. It does make some sense, however.

But we'd get to have two good perimeter defenders as a result. He could play Afflalo and Butler 40 minutes each. It's a dream come true!

I really think for the first time I can do w/o Taj as he hasn't been special this year. I think two good wing defenders in the starting lineup would be fantastic, however. It would also give us two 3 pt guys in the starting lineup with Affalo and Dunn.
Definitely something I've been clamoring for. I think with all the bullshit that's going on in Denver, we could get a real motivated Affalo as well. I would be open to bringing him aboard. Moving Taj would allow Niko to get some more minutes which would make me very happy.

This is also a stretch, but we could potentially start trying to run a small ball lineup with Doug at the 4 too. It would never happen right now, and I doubt it'd happen even with Taj gone, but it's something I think could be effective down the line. FWIW Doug looked better guarding bigger guys than he did the athletic wings. I think we know why.

Why can't we run Jimmy at the 4? All we need to do is sign Nate again. Nate, Brooks, Rose, Butler, Pau.

All we need to do is set up a Karaoke machine in the locker room with only country music and an audience of stuffed animals.

I was wondering if anyone would notice that. :clap:Would that be a stretch 4?

No, Taj hasn't been specil this year and I think it has more to do with the number of bigs that they have with him. I'm , serious. I absolutely think that these guys are getting in each other's way,

And I'm not a big fan with the way Thib's is using them, if you hadn't noticed. :shrug:

I disagree with both positions. Taj has a big impact on every game in which he plays. Unfortuantely the Bulls have screwed up how they are using him this year.

McDermott and Hinrich for Affalo works in the trade machine.

This would be most ideal, McDermott is borderline a bust. We should unload him soon
