The Bulls have been trying out players for weeks or even months. Thibs may put his .02 in but hes not making the decision. They say that Phil Jackson used to go on vacation during the draft but i could be thinking of another successful coach.

the thing that i see in Bradley, is that he is similar to Westbrook as exploding to the basket.

What I see from Bradley is putting him on someone like Rondo while Rose plays someone like Ray Allen. While on the other end Rondo has to try to guard Rose. The Rose-Bradley combo could really put the other teams PG in a vice by making them work offensively against Bradley and defensively against Rose. Id hope to get a lot of turnovers and watch Rose, Bradley and James go off to the races the other way.

Ya in this situation because of Bradley's great perimeter defensive ability,Bradley would probably guard the best guard or the point guard and rose would guard the other

Yup, thats what I was talking about. The scenario I envision is for Chris Paul or Rajon Rondo, to be guarded by Bradley on offense, while they have to guard Rose when theyre on defense. Not fun.

Back in the day, Jordan and Pippen were referred to as "the Dobermans" beacause of their perimeter defense. It would be nice to get back to that.

And, btw, I think Rose can play defense. He's such a superior athlete. But lets face it. Rose was the Bulls biggest scoring threat and he needed to stay out of foul trouble. Without him, the scoring drops off dramatically. We've been getting defense in other places though. Until we get scoring help, Rose needs to stay out of foul trouble.

I have to say even though it won't happen I wouldn't mind seeing Gortat on the Bulls, he is a solid big man.

I would do this deal to add more depth for LeBron or Bosh, then move Hinrich in a separate deal to make up for the added Salaries of Pietrus and Gortat

do this deal then do the Hinrich to the Pacers deal, I hope we trade one of them if not both of them tonight

even if we can move both just to move up in this draft, I would love to see the Bulls do that, this is a pretty good draft especially if you can get a Top 10 pick

Doesnt help us in terms of cap space but gives us depth that would work with James. Would be cool if we could move one of the two for a 2nd or future pick

W/ LBJ, Deng is expandable, especially for a defensive minded SG.
