Knicks · THE 2015 NBA playoff thread (page 41)

What you guys feel?

It is time for a change. Thibs is Stan Van Jr aka "the defensive MDA". He needs an a "Crozier"(Any Given Sunday[offensive coordinator]). Reports are he rebuffed notions to bring in one just like MDA rebuffed Kerr when he wanted MDA to bring in Thibs. Unlike MDA he might have a better landing spot(N.O.), hello Mr. Davis.

Anyway, I love Joakim and been a fan since college but it is time for Paxon to trade him and probably Gibson too. They will both turn 30 next year, Noah has 1 yr left and Gibson has 2 yrs left, and are both injury prone. The Bulls need to get value for them while they can. It might be selling Noah low but get something while you can. Maybe a 3-team trade with Denver/Sac/Chi with Noah going to Sacremento bringing back the days of an aging Vlade with a young Webber(Cousins). Wow, that just came to me. That actually sounds like a good pairing. It gives Karl a nice veteran leader that passes and moves the ball. I am not sure where Taj should go and what his value is. He is a nice back up big but he doesn't rebound that great.

If they can get another 1st I would try to draft a young big and definitely a back up point. They need to put get some real Rose insurance and not just a revolving door of undersized PGs. Maybe Grant drops, Payne should be their, and Delon Wright is another guy late. In FA, I would try to get Ro. Lo. or bring back Asik to replace Noah.

What if

Bulls send - Taj, Noah, Collinson

Bulls get - Staukas, Faried, Denver 2nd

Denver send - Lawson, Faried,

Denver get - Sac Lotto, Taj Gibson,

Sac sends - Staukas, lotto 1st

Sac gets - Lawson, Noah

I think Sac would have to do something with Thompson to make it work and a few more kinks probably need to be smothed over but Thats a decent foundation.

No its boring because Cavs offense is ISOtastic and Bulls offense has droughts that make Elijah shake his head.

They played great but I think LeBron was -4 in the last game and he carried his team to victory. Not sure bout the +/- stat.

It's a completely bogus stat. Adusted +/- is much better (adjusted to take account of strength of opponents, strength of teammates while on court).

You're right; Love has been lighting it up this series.

I love defense... Shump and JR to some extent were misunderstood here..They are role players..Shump is an excellent defender..JR can get hot in a hurry..When u have the pieces in place then u get results u see that Cleveland has..When we don't have the pieces we call them failures for not filling the void..Its going to happen again..
