But Aldridge is a mid-post/slashing PF in the mold of Bosh, not a low-post scorer. Beasley can score in the post a lot better than Aldridge. Even so, trading Aldridge for an undersized PF with no skill set in Thomas was stupid. |

I wouldn't be surprised to see Chicago trade away Ben Gordon or Hinrich and take Rose with the first overall pick.

They apparently didn't like him because he was traded about 10 minutes after he was drafted which meant they had no intention of ever keeping him.

and that trade was unforgivably stupid....they had the player they needed, and traded him for a guy with almost 0 skills and a 70 inch vertical..

Part of Chicago's problem is that they have a cheap owner who won't pay the luxury tax. Gordaon wants a big contract and Hinrich is already overpaid. But trading Hinirch and Gordon isn't a good idea unless they are getting a superstar or a legit big man. The Bulls need to consolidate their talent, they have too many people on their roster that need playing time as it is. Though a Rose/Thabo backcourt would look pretty good. They would be a huge mismatch with their size, almost like Detroit.

I dunno. I sort of disagree. I heard several rumors that Paxson was trying to move Heiny or Gordon all season long.
I'm unsure about Beasley being the consistent, low-scoring big man at the NBA level. I see him more perimeter oriented. I dunno though. Admittedly I don't follow the NBA a great deal. Only KU alums - for the most part. |

It doesn't help that even now when they suck they refuse to play him, he should be getting alot of minutes they aren't a championship contender.
