But with them winning this year’s lottery, I guess that means nothing now because they have a chance to pick between two potential franchise players. If they pick Derrick Rose, the Bulls will have a PG conundrum similar to the one in Toronto. And with that, they will have to ship Kirk to another team and they will have to get an offensive-oriented forward that will fill up some holes in their frontcourt.When I look at the league’s “up-for-sale” forwards, we have Carmelo Anthony, Zach Randolph, Eddy Curry and Elton Brand all of which don’t fit the now athletic and garbage-picking Bulls. If they want to go through with it anyway, they have to come up with a package deal that also includes Larry Hughes and Jannero Pargo, because the former is inefficient and the latter is attractive for teams who want a player with an expiring contract. (ahem,Knicks?) I hope they can pull that off if they pick Rose.When they choose Beasley, on the other hand, he fits perfectly into the system and gives the team a go-to guy on the offensive end. Afront-court of Thomas-Noah-Beasley will be a rebounder’s nightmare B-Easy is also the anti-Noah What Joakim lacks, Michael excels at and vice-versa.
So what we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a wonderful painting of post offense and defense, with some random bruises from the opponent here and there So to speak, Beasley should be number 1 (And it wouldn’t me much of a hassle. They now only have to ship Gooden)Okay, time to buy a Bulls’ #30 jersey..
