Definitely get what you're saying ^ Really hope the injury part of DRose's career is over really want to see him reach his full potential as a player maybe even surpass his MVP season one day.
what do you guys think about the Bulls potentially trading Taj Gibson, Joakim Noah or Pau?
He'll never be MVP again, however, the Bulls don't need him to be either. That MVP year was overshadowed by the fact that in the ECF against LeBron/Wade/Bosh Rose had to go 1 on 5 because his running mate at SG was Keith Bogans. Now that he has Jimmy alongside him they just need them to both get 20 PPG.
As to your question about who to dump. The rumors are that it's either Taj or Pau - - Personally I'd dump Pau because Taj/Noah can still anchor the defense, also Noah looks completely healthy this season a year removed from knee surgery. Pau kills the Bulls in pick n roll situations because he's constantly backing up rather than attacking the guy coming off the screen (Stacy King has pointed this out many a time during Bulls broadcasts). Also, according to reports (
take it with a grain of salt) Pau doesn't exactly gel with Jimmy Butler (although to be fair to Pau, Jimmy has done a lot of talking this year and it kinda got him in trouble this past week.) Also Pau is expected to opt out after this season ends. He is in a way expendable though with the emergence of Bobby Portis who is literally getting better game by game.
