The feeling here is the Bulls would not pass up Noah, are about 75 percent sold on Hawes and would lean toward Yi if both Noah and Hawes are unavailable. If all three are gone, anything can happen. …

One school of thought has Memphis deciding between point guard Mike Conley Jr. and Noah with the fourth pick, assuming Atlanta snaps up Florida’s Al Horford at No. 3. If the Grizzlies select Conley, some see Noah sliding all the way to the Bulls. …

Noah would be nice. We will know more next week.

Joakim Noah is selected by the Bulls !!

Im verry happyyy !!!!

More than satisfied. There wasnt really a low post scorer that was ready and Noah is a perfect fit.

Extremely unsatisfied. Joakim Noah is hardly a poor man's Ben Wallace. And even if he was we already have multiple energy players. Wallace, Thomas, and Nocioni. Spencer Hawes was right there for the taking. The most offensively talented low post scorer in this draft. He can score with either hand and has a variety of post moves. He can also hit the 18-20 foot shot with consistency. Noah's not a HORRIBLE pick but I would expect more from Pax.

I would pick Noah over Hawes any day of the week, because for a big man, Hawes plays nothing like one. He may be the most talented offensive low-post scorer, but the guy is a horrible rebounder, and a horrible shotblocker, especially for a center. He averaged 6 rebounds last season, how many rebounds is he going to average in the NBA? Noah on the other hand is an excellent rebounder, playing by Horford didn't help, but he still did his thing. He doesn't only grab rebounds that come to him, he goes after the ball. He may not have a polished offensive game, nor a regualar jump shot, but he was the best available IMO for us to snag. I was hoping Wright could fall one more spot, because he would've been a STEAL. As soon as he puts some weight on, watch out for him. I called it.

Michael probably traded him because he was unpleased with his comments about Michael 'wanting none of him' in a basketball game.

Sidenote: who saw the Bulls fans holding up posters reading 'THANKS ISAIH'. That was hilarious.

Rebounding, shotblocking, energy. We have a guy who is the definition of that phrase. Why add another player like him? Hawes could perform for us well offensively and his defensive lapses would be made up by the veteran center we already have.

Yeah I understand where your coming from. We have a lot of energy guys, and didn't need to add Noah. In the long-run, I just think he can help us out more.

[bullsger]

I think that Noah can help us. I like the pick.

Now we will see what will happen in free agent market.
