Taj for Mayo, Asik for Lee were bad deals and we are fine with the TEAM we’ve got. You don’t win by outscoring people in this league, you’ve got to shut them down. It’s not a coincidence that the top three teams in the East are the top three defenses. It would be nice to have another player that is a shot-creator, even for the second team, but we can win with what we have.

Exciting times for Bulls fans the future looks very bright. Tell you what, I have been impressed with the Bulls moves ever since Gar took over as GM and worked together with Pax to manage the team. They appear to balance each other out perfectly.

Once he hits the weight room hard in the offseason he should be a defensive force. He and Noah will be a good tandem at center for years to come. Many teams struggle to find one good center to start. For the Bulls to have two is just sweet.
BTW: Finding a defensive-minded gaurd who can shoot the 3 should be easy to come by in the draft. There are tons of them.

I agree with you that trading Taj or Asik for Mayo would’ve been a bad move. Obviously the Bulls thought so too. As was made clear in the loss to Toronto, the Bulls aren’t going to win many games when they simply try to outscore the other team. Defense is the main reason the Bulls are where they are now, not offense. Giving up either of those guys would seriously impact the Bulls defensively.

@everyone that’s not impressed with Asik and wanted to see him traded-

In case you haven’t notice, a lot of teams are asking about Asik in a trade. Hmm… I wonder why.. I mean, he is only a rookie, still learning the NBA style of play. Well enough with the sarcasm, the kid is raw talent with incredible potential. He may not be putting up big stats right now, but he will be a legitimate starter in a couple of years. Right now, his game is mostly defense and rebounding, but he has shown flashes of his offensive potential. Even right now, his defense, his lateral quickness, and his athleticism, rebounding and IQ is better than most centers in the league. These are abilities that sometimes can’t be taught, either you have it or you don’t. Asik has these abilities already. What he’s missing he can be taught because the foundation is there. That’s why so many teams lacking a big are so interested in him. Asik is definitely a keeper!

Even if they don’t like the Bulls front office do what is best for your team. It is very clear our offer was better. Maybe they were pissed that we would not part with Asik. Either way we are a superior team to the Grizzles and have cap space to boot. Grizzles look pretty silly making comments about why they traded a player only to find out they did not trade him. They look pretty bad.. Well played by our front office they offered the max of what they could.

He showed it tonight. He’s a defensive presence and he attacks the boards. Don’t you figure the Heatles wish they had a guy like him? After their bench sucked up the court? Bet on it.

That would have violated Rule #1 of sucessful trades: Don’t trade big for small unless the small is obviously the best player in the deal. I am not sold that OJ is better than either Taj or Asik. He can’t even crack the rotation for a mediocre Memphis team. Taj and Asik are rotation players for a title contender. Taj and Asik play lock-down defense in the trenches for the best defensive team in the NBA. Can OJ say the same? Who would you rather have when we have to bang with the Celtics or Lakers in the playoffs? Taj/Asik or OJ? I’ll take what we have and see what happens.

But according to multiple league sources, the Bulls aggressively pursued Grizzlies shooting guard O.J. Mayo, offering Ronnie Brewer, two first-round picks and one second-round pick.

guess they tried….
