The Bulls should have dumped Derrick Rose and kept Ben Gordon

[JohnnySic]

After Rose's rookie year '09.

I remember that great Celtics/Bulls series in '09. Gordon was The Guy. Rose was meh. Gordon > Rose.

Trade Rose for a big who could score. Build the team around Gordon.

The Bulls might have snuck in a cheap title in '10 if everything broke right.

I'm not a Bulls fan so this means nothing to me, but I love "what if" scenarios. I'm also all about tidying up loose ends.

Good day.

Let's trade the ROY with more potential upside to build around combo guard who did nothing else but score.

ISH never ceases to amaze me

Gordon and Hinrich had good chemistry as a backcourt pair. Rose created a glut, and although Rose was a great player, a lot of his abilities were redundant with the other 2 already in place.

No really, trade Rose and get that scoring big to go with the grunts Noah, Gibson, and Asik.

A more balanced rotation.

and your dad should have dumped his load inside your mothers mouth instead when they conceived you.

John Salmon dropped like almost 40 points to win one game I think. They should've built their team around him.

For the Raptors to succeed, they'll need Guards to pass to each other for the easy basket, they seem to have enough shooters, but whether or not they can counter coaches who uses timeout well, decides how far they'll go.

I see what your doing...

Nah....the Bulls should have built around Kieth Bogans. Letting him go was one of the biggest mistakes ever by Gar/Pax.

[Steven Kerry]

Yeah, Ben Gordon would have saved the Bulls

You never trade away the guy with the sky as his ceiling unless you are trying to win NOW (Wiggins for Love)
Gordon was clutch but he was no franchise player.

You have been on some odd shit lately. This...the Antawn Jamison a hall of famer thing. Talking about Kenneth Faried could be Rodman or better if someone just....asked him to be. You made a topic claiming Harrison Barnes was better than Klay, Draymond, and Iggy. Who turns into a troll after 15 years of being normal?

^Dont forget my Carmelo > Wade thread. That was a good one.

Just trying to get people think outside the box. Outside of the Kobe/LeBron/MJ crap, there is a lot of "groupthink" on ISH.

That said, I got me this:
