I heard Harden is very injury prone though.

 

OK, sorry horrible joke

He actually did have some hamstring issues last year.

 

 

James Harden would be a perfect compliment to Derrick Rose and I'm not just saying that because he's the best basketball player to ever play for ASU. He is going to be a legitimate star. His strength/athleticism/body control is awesome.

 

And he has an awesome beard.

 

Can he play D unlike Gordon?

I don't think he'll ever be anything great defensively. He's 6'5, really strong, has long arms but has average speed. He'd never be a lock down guy, especially against top shooting guards.

 

So let me rephrase that can he play D better than the Matador Ben Gordon?

Yeah and more importantly has the size to actually body up on a two offensively and defensively. Having a 2 that can work a pick and roll with Rose would be a great weapon as opposed to just shooting long jumpers.

 

Yeah definitely....With Rose right now Gordon really makes no sense with him he's to small and all he can do is shoot(sometimes)

 

I actually don't mind Gordon with Rose. But they still need a big guard. Gordon should be a compliment and be a guy that can shoot the ball and open up the lane for Rose and a good 2G to create.

 

Yeah Gordon is good to be a bench player who can shoot, but he shouldn't be in there for an extended period of time....Unless he semi learns how to play defense which he still hasn't yet

It's a pretty good bet he never will.

That's why I want desperately want SG who can play defense and doesn't want to shoot every time he touches the ball

Gordon was a terrible defender as a rookie and the label stuck. He worked extremely hard on defense and improved a lot in subsequent years under Skiles's tutelage. He's probably about an average to slightly below average defender at this point.

I disagree...I know he tries really hard and constantly is working out and trying to get better, but the guy is undersized which doesn't help and he gets burned buy guys that are slower than him...I really think he just never will get above the level of D that he plays right now

Desipte playing a crappy team, the Bulls are playing really really well offensively. They are moving the ball, getting good shots and hustling on the other end. Much maligned players like Tyrus are having great games. This is the team I hoped to see all year.

I wonder if Nick Young could be had in a trade. I think he'd be a nice fit alongside Derrick.

 

I'm shocked that the USC fan would say something like this.

 

Gordon's fine, especially when compared to Nick Young.

I think that the 2009 Bulls collectively are the worst loose ball team in the history of the game. Does anyone on the team have good hands? So painful. And I question Del Negro's judgement in ever letting Larry Hughes off the bench. Let him hang out with Marbury. He's worthless.
