NBA Discussion


Recommended Posts

1) I don't really care about a new topic for a new season but it was suggested in the 2004-2005 topic that a new one be created

 

2) D Jones' topic says 2006-2007, so I didn't want people to be confused

 

I have no problem with this topic being closed if people think it is unnecessary.

Okay, following up with the talk from the last thread...

 

Larry Hughes can play the two, if needed. Hinrich also can play both guard positions. Gordon should be at the two guard always though. His passing and defense could use some work. He has the speed to play the point, but that is all.

 

What the Bulls need more though is a big name guy playing the 3. Bulls haven't been too strong in the Forward position these past years. We need a proven veteran to start at small forward, Nocioni was good, but we need a play maker. Not another Antonio Davis type.

 

I'm not sure who is out on the Free Agent market as of right now, as my mind is still in baseball mode.

Even though I hate to admit it because he's a dookie, I think Deng will be pretty good in a few years. Remember, he would still be a Jr. in college this upcoming season, so he'll develop. Also I believe Joe Johnson is an FA this year. Can you imagine the Bulls with him playing the 3? inlove.gif

Joe Johnson wouldn't be too bad. And yeah, I think Deng will turn out pretty good, but I don't think he can start now. Same thing with Nocioni, they are the Bulls starters down the road.

Lol too bad? His corner shots drop all the time. But I hope the Suns retain him because he is a very good perimeter defender and mid and long range shooter.

 

Also I just heard Nate mcmillan signed with the blazers.

The Bulls never had problems shooting three's. I was thinking a solid defender and down low player. I want a star, but not necessarily just a shooter.

Cuttino Mobley is out there, and so is Damon Jones.

 

As for Lary Hughes going to Chicago a possible, it would work out nice. But it would be hard picking the depth because the guard postion could look like this.

 

SG-Hughes

PG-Hinrich

or

SG-Gordon

PG-Hughes

or

SG-Gordon

PG-Hinrich

 

Gordon can sit out again, he didn't win the 6th man award for no reason.

I would love to have Mobley, especially if he could play the 3 (probably not, but who knows?) Imagine a backcourt of Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, and Cuttino Mobley. That'd be a fun team to watch.

 

@Nate: I also saw that McMillan signed with the Jail Blazers. I feel sorry for him, having to deal with all those headcases.

Lol Jail Blazers, nice.

 

Yeah I dont think they will be that successful after loosing Shareef. But if they get Randoplh back from injury he will beef up the team with a solid rebounder and inside scorer. I think he won Most Improved Player two years ago right?

 

Lots of new player news todday as followed.

 

•Redd decides to stay with Bucks(which means the Cavs will likely go hard for Johnson now. Or possibly Hughes.

•Warriors sign Ie Diogu

•Layden is now assistant coach to the Jazz

 

Also Buck are looking for a new coach.

Haven't heard anything about Starbury, but I just saw Larry Hughes is signing with the Cavs. Good for LeBron, but I think it's too bad he left Washington and the big 3 of him, Jamison, and Arenas. They could've been really good.

Yeah man I wonder who they will get to replace him. Possibly Mobley or maybe a bench player?

 

That trade will benfit the Cavs quite a bit now.

GS looks good. Davis & Richardson and Dunleavy is finally showing he is a pretty decent player.

 

I wouldn't dis-agree with you.

Yes plus they have a hot new rookie in Ike Diogu who isnt that bad.

 

Also Simmons didnt sign with the Pistons, he signed with the Bucks. Bucks are looking pretty good. But Simmons might have have to be benched because Redd would likely start.

I guess Simmons wil be the 6th man behind Mason and Redd. I don't know why he'd do that, when he would have been a top player with the Clippers. Maybe he's just sick of all the losing. Well I hope he has a good season. I root for all Chicago guys biggrin.gif

Yeah but if it wernt for redd staying and them getting bogut, i dont think h would have excepted the offer.

 

You know another team to look out for. New York. They got Channing and Robinson and now Q. Should be a pretty good team.

Yes finally someone posted. Yes the Clippers are looking better and better. I also heard the wizards traded Kwame Brown to the Lakers for Caron Butler. Also Udonis Haslem signed a 5 year deal with the Heat.

 

I wonder where Damon Jones will go, he was a pretty good three point shooter and defender last season.

 

Also Grant Hill is in the Hall of Fame!

Damon Jones would fit with the Lakers. I would think so since they're a bit weak from the 3 and the PG's they have aren't the greatest.

 

Kwame Brown is still young, people think he is a bust but whenever he bust open and has a pretty damn good season people will say they knew he was going to be big. I still have faith in him.

 

Utah did lose Jaminson,Hughes and Arena's(sp). Can't blame them for going for Butler.

 

Congrats to Hill. Still playing for Magic or did he retire?

Nah he didnt retire, he is getting a locker in some hall of fame. Also I think you mean Washington lost Arenas Jamison and Hughes. Wait they lost Arenas and Jamison?

Yeah, Washington blush.gif .

 

Thats what I heard a while back.

 

 

I seen previews for Live '06 (on NCAA Football '06) and the passes look sick. Behind the back passes and no look passes. All they showed were damn Suns dunking and passing the ball sad.gif. I'm sure you'd like that preview Nate, taking it your a Suns fan.
