I think the strategy is draft a back up PG at 16. ty lawson should be there. Trade Kirk, who is an excellent player who takes abuse for no good reason. he is our best defender regardless of position. but he makes too much to be a bench player. free up cash, develop Rose, Thomas and Noah and go all in on the free agent class in two years.

I’m all for Harangody. That name has SO much potential.

Cassipi looks very intriguing, but as Czernobog says, the SF position is pretty stacked right now (unless a Deng trade happens… which won’t).

After reading the DX profiles, I think the most interesting prospects on that list are Budinger, Cassipi, Henderson, and Harangody. Vasallo sounds like a confused SWAC who can’t play D. Meeks looks undersized and underskilled. Vaden looks like another player who can’t get his weight under control. Gibson looks like a poor man’s Tyrus. DeJuan Blair is not polished enough on offense. We don’t need another Ben Wallace. He would get more burn elsewhere- he might end up a nice player but I personally don’t want him.

I like Harangody because he has a back-to-the-basket game and a scorer’s mentality, and other than Brad Miller (sort of), nobody on the Bulls Roster can bring that.

Budinger’s question is defense. If he can become a non-liability, he’d be a great bench guy because of his versatility and shooting. Plus I love the guy’s athleticism- his vertical is very impressive and he has legit size for the 2/3 positions, so he could come in for a number of situations. I just hope he doesn’t let people step on his face in the NBA. Charles Barkley will have a heyday with him if he lets that happen.

Henderson is probably the safer bet between himself and Budinger because I feel that he is the better defender out of the gate.

Casspi is my guy, but I have no idea why the bulls would want another small forward. And even though he’s a tough, fearless energy guy, I don’t really think that’s the Bulls’ biggest need.
