Yes they were. Only starstruck, starry-eyed Bulls fans thought otherwise.

You obviously didn't watch him in college. He can play in any kind of system because his skill set can translate anywhere.

no one thinks that bulls can get curry. With that said, this bulls team would obviously be better if we added curry.

IMO Curry is a SG. The Warriors are playing two SGs with some PG skills which kind of works well enough to get by without having a proper PG. But that doesn't mean Curry is a PG just because he's named in that slot on the box score.
Besides a guy with some PG skills is exactly what the Bulls need, they need someone who can handle the ball when Rose is being trapped and they need someone else who can create shots other than Rose. Curry fits the bill perfectly, as well as being an excellent shooter.
Of course the Warriors are hoping to land a good player for him, and we have nobody expendable to get him. But damn do I wish we dumped all of Kirk/Deng/Gordon as soon as we drafted Rose so we could tank it up and land Curry that draft.

Gibson is not the best frontcourt defender...based on what? LOL...that is laughable. Noah is the anchor of the Bulls defense. Gibson cannot do what Noah can do. Furthermore, if Noah can only guard wiry power forwards, than we REALLY don't need Gibson, cause he ain't guarding Howard!!!
Best defensive game by any single player on the Bulls team was Noah against Gasol. Totally shut down the guy. So again, you underestimate Noah and overestimate Taj.
Why you continue to compare Curry to Watson is just stupefying to me. Makes no damn sense whatsoever. I am worried about defense, that is why I brought up the importance of having Brewer stay on the team. But offensively? Curry would be the best shooter on the team when it comes to overall efficiency. And with Ellis, Curry knows how to play off the ball, because he doesn't have a choice...

Never mind man defense, Curry is as good at generating steals as Brewer is. Imagine having one or both of them out there for the whole 48 minutes? Combined with the excellent defensive system of Thibs that level of disruption of the passing lanes would be great.
IMO Curry would be a big defensive upgrade over giving those minutes to Bogans/Watson/Korver.

The chances of landing Melo were always 0%. Unless you want to rent him until he buggers off to New York.

All I'm saying is that with Noah out, Taj is definitely the best paint defender. It's a tough enough call between Taj and Noah as it is.
And, in my opinion, the Bulls right now > the Bulls minus Taj and plus Curry. That's all. I'd consider trading Taj but ultimately I doubt that I would.

What I noticed watching the Bulls this season is that sometimes we weren´t able to score for a long time. Especially starting the second quarters. This is when we lost the games. So I think Curry would help us more offensively than Gibson helps us defensively.
I would do a trade for Curry including Taj, even though I like Taj.
0% chance to get Curry? Hmm the chances to get the number 1 pick in 2008 haven´t been much higher huh?

Noah comes back late February/Early March. The most important frontcourt defender is Thibs. He orchestrates everything, people on this forum were crying the season was over when Noah went down. Yet the team statistically has gotten better defensively. I think that is the team's focus on defense, and if anything, Deng should get more credit for the current run defensively than Taj should, Deng defends multiple positions and has done an admirable job.

I was befuddled by that too. curry is far more talented than watson. If watson had curry's shooting touch, we could stop our hunt for a sg.

taj fouls at higher rate than noah. I agree with hou. right now our best defensive players are deng AND thomas. deng's pulling down boards as of late. asik can play pretty good defense in spurts. taj is good, but he's no, noah.

I am aware it's never going to happen. I do believe I said that in my post too. And of course Boston is a better team, they have 3 HOFers. They're the 1 seed now for a reason and we're 3 for a reason.

Boston is not infallible. And anyone who thinks Taj would be more important to this team than Stephen Curry if he were on the team, is not paying attention. Plain and simple. Its one thing to say Noah is not trade-able for an allstar caliber player, though I would disagree in certain instances...but in this case? Taj for Curry? How is there an argument?
The Bulls held the last two teams to an 80 point average between them. And that was with Taj playing only 35 minutes in both games combined. He ain't that damn important!

Speaking of blake. If we're going to be drooling over which player's we'd rather have, i'd want blake. Man that guy is a freaking scary. What i mean is, he's soo good right now, that it's scary. Could you imagine him and rose playing on the same team? We'd be playing the fastest pace in the league. It was crazy though blake hit 2-3's last night. one of them was 4 feet behind the line. He's got the same 'WOW' factor that lebron has. you just watch them, and you saw 'WOW'.

I know Boston isn't infallible. No team is. They just lost to Washington last night, proving once again that even the bad teams can get a win over the best teams.
