The fact that after all this time & effort we're back to "a work in progress" is endlessly frustrating to me. What we're saying is that all these years since 1998 have been one big fat stinking failure. Good job Bulls. Let's start another 10 year cycle of "rebuilding" only to find that our current crop of youngsters blossom on other teams while we bring up another group of draft picks once again. And round & round we go. Seriously. None of you share my frustration on this? This is all just great with all of you? I can't believe that. Mistakes were made in the past for sure. What can we do but look to the future. I firmly believe we have our superstar (Rose) and key role players (Hinrich, Deng, Thomas). We need our #2 guy, and a low post threat, but we are heading in the right direction, and knowing the past is the past, I figure its time to give these guys time to prosper. If we didn't win the lotto and draft Rose, then I'm with you. But that's key. We finally have something to build around. I still contend a big guard would do more good than a big man. That's why I wanted Brandon Roy a couple years ago. 8-12 of the top 24 scorers in the league so far are shooting guards between 6'5" and 6'7", depending on who you consider a 2G. This is a guards' game now. The top players in the league are guys that can create their own shot and shoot over bigger defenders inside if needed. Kobe, Lebron, McGrady, Pierce, Joe Johnson, Wade, Redd, Hamilton, Carter, Roy, etc. I don't know anyone who considers Carter, Michael Redd or, TMac as top players in this league. All three are extremely flawed players, and any team that builds around them as their superstar is going to fail. Although I do agree on the point about this team needing a big 2 guard who can score. We have to get one.
