I don't want to trade for Fields. You don't see me making a stupid thread saying trade for Landry Fields. He was in the one trade to match salaries, and he's a lot better than his numbers indicate in Toronto, a team that takes forever to develop talent and wastes anything of use that comes its way. Mind you, I never said I wanted to trade for Bargs either, I only said it wasn't a bad trade. Never said good trade, said it wasn't a bad trade. Just like your trade here. It's not a good trade, maybe not a bad trade, but not a good trade at all.

Gordon could get a team 30 points on any given night, that is true. We still wouldl TMac out of the first round every year, without Gordon being as good as prime TMac.

are you forgetting we have rose?

youre making it sound as if we'll only be relying on gordon to carry us to the promise land

its no way in hell a lineup of Rose/Gordon/Butler/Boozer/Noah is getting bounced in the first round

TMac had some good teams too. And Rose may never be the same player. Historically, the odds are that we have seen the best of Rose. So planning a team based around eggs that have not hatched is pretty video-game GM mentality like. NBA 2k with your starting 5 all pretty on paper, but in reality, getting send home fishing because depth matters, especially in Thibs system. Yes, Luol Deng is THAT important to this team. Shit you aren't going to see in the box score.

We aren't re-signing Deng. (unless he takes a massive hometown discount) Getting Gordon in this trade would be fantastic! He is a rich man's Ben Gordon. Him an Rose would be the best PG-SG duo in the league. The only thing is his health. How has he been this year?

Rip is a throw in. He costs nothing and is always injured. Not missing him anytime soon.

Butler
Mirotic
Noah

I dig this trade.

Maybe we can even get Love with Boozer/Mirotic/Future pics/Gibson

:pray:

Rose-Gordon-Love is my ultimate dream

i wouldn't know how to act if we landed both of them

big 3 from 2003 vs big 3 from 2008 :smug:

But of course a Boozer-Taj-Mirotic-future picks trade for Love changes everything.

I am not negative. I just feel that losing Deng for Gordon is too much. I mean he is better but not having Deng's defense against the Heat will cost us.

Josh Smith is a player the same caliber as Deng. Better in some things, worse in others. And I believe that we need the others. Deng's 3pt shooting is good (not this year lol) but we need to hurt them in the paint. And Deng can't do this. Josh Smith can. He is an elite defender too.

Rudy Gay is the same situation, a bit worse defensively but he can shoot 3s too.

Eric Gordon would be a great fit if we had a dominant big guy. We don't. So I feel that Rose + Gordon will be a very short duo to play 1-2 in a team together.

But as I said. A good player is never a bad choice. So do it. And then it will be much more easy to land a 3rd great player.

Deng+Rip+charlotte's pick for Gordon
Boozer+Taj+Mirotic+Nate for Love

= championship

Shumpert would be an interesting addition. His salary is so small it'd be hard to acquire him.

Before Derrick Rose and Eric Gordon were emerging stars in the NBA, they were teammates.

Very talented teammates.

They were so good together during the summer of 2006, some still refer to it as "The Eric and Derrick Show."

Two of the nation's elite guards, Indianapolis' Gordon and Chicago's Rose, formed a stellar backcourt and were one of the nation's top summer AAU teams, almost by themselves.

"It was stupid good," ESPN recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. "While it was going on, you knew those guys were that good. You knew how special it was to have them together.

"It was a foregone conclusion that these were two professional players hanging out together for a summer. It was as high level as a summer backcourt could possibly be."

Both are now in their third year in the NBA. Rose, who averaged 25 points this season in powering the Bulls to the best record in the Eastern Conference, has Chicago up 3-0 on the Indiana Pacers in a first-round playoff matchup that resumes today at Conseco Fieldhouse. Gordon averaged 22.3 points for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The two played together on a team called Meanstreets, coached by Derrick's brother, Reggie Rose. The team won the prestigious Peach Jam in South Carolina and finished runner-up in the summer-ending tournament in Las Vegas in late July.

The team usually had only six or seven players. Gordon, who became the Indianapolis Star Indiana Mr. Basketball in 2007, and Rose, Mr. Basketball in Illinois the same year, typically played every minute.

"We just played well together," said Gordon, who attended Thursday's Game 3 of the Pacers-Bulls series. "At that time, we just wanted to show people that we're trying to be the best out there. We jelled together. We both played up-tempo games and loved to attack the basket.'

The two regularly scored 30 points or more, sometimes in the same game.

In the championship game of the Peach Jam, they beat an SYF team that included most of the players who led Purdue's recent run -- Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore, in addition to Notre Dame's Scott Martin.

"We both had close to 40 points that game," Gordon said. "And we both had a lot of dunks."

The two played their natural positions, Rose at point guard, Gordon at shooting guard.

"That was fun," Rose said Friday as the Bulls readied for practice at IUPUI. "We were two guys that just wanted to play basketball all out, that don't show much emotion on the court.

"It was great standing back and watching him score the ball. I always loved his game, even when our high schools played, but it was great playing with him in AAU."

The two played against each only once in high school. Gordon had 32 points, five assists and three steals as North Central beat Chicago Simeon 68-66 in the Challenge of Champions at Southport High School. Rose was held to six points on 2-for-11 shooting.

Together, they were nearly unstoppable.

"Our games fit each other," Rose said.

"He's a scorer and shooter. I was just feeding him. He made my job easy. We really had a great time. I'm still friends with him and his dad."

Bulls also went 82-0 when I traded all of the players away for future picks and used the worst, 30-OVR rated players from D-League while making Eddie Curry the team's 3pt specialist.

The Spurs also get consistent losing records in my 2k mycareer mode despite having one of the most talented teams in the league. Great medium of analysis there
