View from a Bulls fan
Bryce T. Englin; South Beloit, Illinois
Down, but not out, that is how I would classify the Bulls season thus far.
Even though this team has lost, many things have gone wrong, there have been many positives to include the emergence of Thabo Sefolosha and Joakim Noah. As a team, I think the Bulls should still play as hard as they can while developing to be stronger next year.
As a fan, I would like to see the team the following options in the off-season which include, hiring a coach who can get the team to win while allowing them to play through their mistakes, continue developing Sefolosha and Noah, sign Luol Deng to a six year deal, utilize the draft pick on a player who is NBA ready and can contribute right away off the bench, and finally...it's time to get trade Ben Gordon and Tyrus Thomas.
Ben has turned into a selfish money hungry player who does not possess the skills this team needs, while the Thomas experiment has failed. While I don't fault GM John Paxson for it, Thomas has not lived up to the potential I thought he would. I thought a player like Glen "Big Baby" Davis would've been a better fit from the LSU team.
