I will be happy if...
>Rose is given the freedom and encouraged to push the ball regularly on fast-breaks
>The Bulls return to playing hard-nosed defense
>Tyrus Thomas finally gets it and becomes the game altering player he can be
>Sefolosha develops a consistent shot
>Somebody takes Larry hughes off our hands

Zippy, I think you're right on the money on all counts, and I will go one step further. I predict that one or two of the overcrowded glut of guards on this roster now WILL be traded at the deadline. In plain English, enjoy Ben Gordon, Larry Hughes, Kirk Hinrich and/or Thabo Sefolosha now while they're here...One or two will be gone from this uneven roster as the season progresses.

Get rid of Paxson

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Walt, I'm not so sure you'll get your wish...Jerry Reinsdorf has been awfully loyal to his people over the years, regardless if it's the Bulls with Paxson or Kenny Williams with the White Sox. If anything, I think Paxson might submit his resignation if this Vinny Del Negro experiment blows up in his face...

...if I can sell any of my GD season tix. Looks like I'm going to all 41 games.

...if Tyrus shows improvement. He has the talent. If he can develop a midrange game and maybe a spin move or two, he can average 15 and 8 in this league, which would be semi-respectable for a #2/4 pick.

...if Luol Deng can make the leap to an all-star season. It's overdue at this point.

...if Pax has the patience to hold on to Larry Hughes. No point in trading him this year since they are rebuilding. Hold on to him for one more year until he becomes "Larry Hughes Expiring Contract."

...if Pax doesn't make any stupid trades...like for Shawn Marion. There is no point in trying to compete for now. Build for the future. I love the Bulls.
