seriously though, Derrick Rose will break out next season. A decent trade or 2 for a big man and Chicago is set. | ||

I read an article saying it's a bad idea because it wasn't dwight howard that really killed the cavs it was the poor shooting from the supporting cast and the poor defense vs the orlando shooters. The guy also mentions that if they do take shaq it would be a problem during late games when they are all hacking away at him so he would miss free throws. I agreed at first but i was thinking that the cavs don't really need to feed it to shaq late in the 4th since opposing teams would have lebron to deal with and instead use shaq primarily for defense. what do you guys think? | ||

How many foul shots per game do you think a Shaq/Lebron team could average? I say 180. | ||

Anyways, Hedo apparently wants 10 mil/season next season for playing shitty in the most important series of his life; guy doesn't realize how he fits into this system, and forgot how forgettable he played for the Kings. | ||

A decent trade or 2 for a big man and Chicago is set. he already broke out this season  but yes I am really hoping they go far in the playoffs. they're my 2nd favorite team.Chicago has some serious problems though if they want to be a serious contender Starting 5: PG - Derrick Rose SG - Ben Gordon SF - Deng PF - Thomas C - Noah Bench: PG - Hinrich SG - Salmons SF - ?? PF - Tim Thomas C - Miller Alright. First of all, Chicago needs a strong Center. Secondly, they can't be very successful if Ben Gordon is their highets scorer. Ben Gordon's ideal role is as a 6th man, playing a Ginobli type role. Having someone who can give you 25 points on any given night off the bench is DANGEROUS. Joakim Noah isn't an NBA starter. He's one of those "energy" guys who is great coming off the bench to give you ~10 boards and a block or 2. Hinrich is an amazing backup PG, and Gordon would be a strong backup 2, Noah a backup center. They really need an elite scorer and strong center before they can be a real contender in the East. Right now Chicago has a few great pieces, but mostly the makings of the best bench in the NBA (Hinrich, Gordon, Noah). If they build a strong group of starters around a nucleus of Rose and Deng they can become pretty powerful. | ||

They lost not because of Howard, they lost because they couldn't hit anything and the Magic hit everything in sight, they do need someone to go to for a reliable and solid possession besides Lebron in situations where their offense stalls, but that's not Shaq at this point. Shaq averaged 18ppg and shot 61% last season. How does he not qualify as a reliable and solid possession? The Cavs don't even need him until the end of the year. They're basically guaranteed a seed in that division. | ||
