yea because Prince is almost 30 and Brewer is 21. give Brewer 9 years to work on his jumper, and then we will see what the results are.

Brewer is not the rebounder Prince is, nor does he have that post up ability, Brewer is a tad bit overrated right now coming off final 4 MVP.

depends if Memphis has the number one pick and Greg Oden comes out?...Donovan would have to think about that one if he had the chance to coach Greg Oden coupled with Pau Gasol....pretty good down low game...

I think he would only consider Kentucky to see how good he has become as a coach...being in the same state as Petino....

I'd still take the UK job. Memphis is a 2nd rate franchise in a 2nd tier city. UK is one of the most prestigious programs in college basketball city.

And I think Pau Gasol might be out of Memphis here pretty quick. Possibly this offseason. Donovan would be much smarter to take the Heat job if it's offered to him.

Leandro Barbosa has got to be 6th man of the year, it is amazing what he is putting up off the bench better than most starters. 18 ppg, 4.2 apg.

SeanTaylorRIP · 04-03-2007, 09:43 PM

Tyson Chandler another typical night, 18 points, 20 boards, the man has really developed into an animal night in and night out.

Too bad he never did it in Chicago. But the move had to be made. He was frustrated and Chicago was frustrated. Looks like a change of scenery helped, good for him. Glad to see him doing well.

we need toronto to beat orlando, and the knicks must beat the 76 ers today

I just think the Bulls gave up on him and Curry to early, I know Curry had health issues and you got a whole lot back but if he weren't on the Knicks he would be a top tier bigman. Makes you question the Bulls ability to develop bigmen. I guess Ben Wallace's regression can be said to age but makes you wonder if Tyrus Thomas is getting the proper help to excel.

jets future · 04-04-2007, 10:29 AM

eddy curry is the top 3 prob the best center in the east, and schould of made the all star game over overrated shaq.
curry deserved it, and actually played games before the all star break.
but when curry is with crawford, that is an ill combo, they have really good chemistry. starbury has to learn how to feed it inside, he likes to feed it out side.

SeanTaylorRIP · 04-04-2007, 10:34 AM

I guess unlucky for the Bulls but if Curry and Chandler stayed 1 more year with the Bulls and played the way they do now, they would easily be the best team in the league, but maybe it was the change of scenery which made them better, especially Chandler, of course in hindsight Wallace looked like a better signing but I would take Chandler over 5 Ben Wallace's.

yea its really ironic cus the bulls need a inside player, after giving up tyson and curry. for right now we got the better side of the trade, but then tyrus is olny a rookie, and i dont see how the switching thing is really big cus there isnt much the knicks really need at there original position. we prob would of taken a acie law. but i don't mind the switching

The Bulls need develop Tyrus and Wallace into a tandem that can carry them with their solid backcourt. They have the players in place but need to get them more familiar with each other and run an offense that utilizes each player's strengths

that would be a bad pick if the lottery end up giving them the third pick

How come the playing for the olympic team has lost all of its luster??? LeBron doesn't know if he'll play and it shows that it's not a top priority for players to represent their countries.

America no longer has superiority and players are afraid to be on the American team that doesn't win first place. My Dream Olympic team would be this:

PG: Deron Williams/Chris Paul/Brevin Knight
SG:Michael Redd/Gerald Wallace/Joe Johnson
SF:Rashard Lewis/Josh Smith/Caron Butler/Kevin Durant
PF:Shawn Marion/Chris Bosh/Amare Stoudemire
C: Dwight Howard/Tyson Chandler/Greg Oden

Durant and Oden to groom for future international play but won't get much playing time, Durant more likely to get time if they need an extra shooter but with Redd, Lewis, and Johnson they are good.

Players want a break from basketball. Guys like LeBron take enough of a beating as it is and more basketball will just add to that.
