Not true.
Ilgauskas and Magloire > Thomas or Asik (I'm guessing)
Haslem is more proven than Taj Gibson
James Jones is more proven than James Johnson
Mike Miller is better than Kyle Korver
and Arroyo or Chalmers are interchangable with C.J. Watson (who won't get much PT anyway).
ehhh...they both cancel each other out. and Thomas is not only a beast on the boards, but dude has a legit perimeter shot (ask SA or Milwaukee).
Haslem may be more proven, but remember Taj is a rook and is only going to get better (and w/ Tibs coaching him up? could be a nice defensive 6th man).
again, Johnson = rookie...he'll get better (i hope)? from what i'm hearing, he's not doing it all in SL, but 82 games is a long way.
yea Miller's better than Korver, but he's a starter. Miller more upside, but he tends to get hit w/ nagging injuries (and Korver can be used off the bench for instant spurts). and who's to say Miller is gonna get the ball anyway except on 3s?
Arroyo & Chalmers - yea i'll give you that, but Chalmers is still green on the O end.
Pietrus will just play more minutes at 3, and so will Rashard Lewis. Brandon Bass and Pietrus both deserve more PT and they will get it now that Barnes is gone. and VC is way better than anything the Bulls have at the wing spots.
SVG doesn't know what he's doing w/ Bass. dude should've obviously been playing last year more, but he couldn't find him any clock. and in this case, i'll take Deng over Carter at this point (VC needs to penetrate, but won't. he's a shooter first and a black hole on offense).
C'mon... Sure, the Bulls might end the season with a better record, but look at what Boston did last year. They are far from done... to say otherwise would be ridiculous.
yea, but this is another year. Boston is turning out to be the San Antonio of the East (82 games for KG, 82 for Pierce, 82 for Ray). even w/ rest, the wear & tear on their bodies is NUTS!!! Rondo will still do his thing, but will that be enough? and will J. O'neal be that help on the defensive end? time will tell brother....
