Bulls Off-Season

Here are some of the off-season moves I think the Bulls will need to seriously contend for a championship in the future.

1. Trade 9th pick, sign and trades with PJ Brown and Andres Nocioni to Portland for Zach Randolph. I understand he is a lot to handle off the court, but all championship teams take risks on players. The Bull's championship teams of the 90's took a risk on Dennis Rodman. And its not like there isn't a high reward. Randolph had a spectacular season and was robbed of an all-star game selection. Averages of 24 points, 10 rebounds, 82 FG % are terrific. Did I mention he's only 26? That gives at least 4-5 more good years.

2. Offer Scott Skiles the lead assistant coach position and hire Larry Brown, because if we do get to the finals I don't want us to have a young inexperienced coach like Mike Brown who can't draw up a decent play for his best player.

3. Demand that Thabo Sefolasha and Tyrus Thomas work on their games in the offseason.

4. Trade 46th and 51st pick, Chris Duhon to Miami for 20th pick and draft best available big man out of Tiago Splitter, Josh McRobers and Jason Smith.

I would make this trade. Or perhaps Marion is available a little more easier for the Bulls.

No need right now I think.

Sounds both good.

While, Marion might be easier to acquire, he wouldn't help us in the position we need. We already have Deng at the 3, what we need is a 4 with a post up game. Marion's game revolves around other players dribble penetration which is why I see he is overrated.

Also the reason for acquiring Larry Brown is because of his experience and so Scott Skiles can learn from him.

If you want Brown that Skiles can learn from him, then don't let Brown the coach! Only a consulter perhaps. But not head-coach. This wouldn't be good.
