Topic: Derek Rose or Michael Beasley??

WOW! Only a 1.7% chance of the bouncing balls giving the Chicago Bulls the top draft pick, but that's exactly what happens.
So who do you pick at #1? I'm hoping they take Rose. I think they're both gonna be stars, but Rose has the potential to make you really regret not taking him.

I think the Bulls need Rose more than they need Beasley.  Hinrich has not shown he can be the PG everyone thought he would be - but will make an excellent backup.

I'm guessing if they are intending on picking Rose, that Hinrich will be gone. There would be a real logjam at guard (Rose, Hinrich, Gordon, Hughes, Sefalosha, and Duhon...although I think Duhon's contract just expired).
I think Paxson would package Hinrich and one of their forwards to try to add some more scoring down low.

Chicago Who? Bull What? Just teasing Bill. The most over paid athletes in the world. JMHO

Roy,
I realized some time ago that they are entertainers. Nobody gripes when Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts commands 10 or 20 million dollars to star in a movie, but everybody seems to gripe about "overpaid, crybaby athletes (myself included). I lost all respect for Lance Briggs when he was insulted and threatened to hold out when the Bears "franchised" him. Now we have Brian Urlacher, who wanted the security of a long term (9years) contract...but ooops, guess what, salaries have risen since then, so now he wants to renegotiate. That p*sses me off...I hope they don't give him a penny more and if he wants to retire, good riddance you greedy #%*%^@!

The fans only answer is to STOP BUYING tickets and merchandise. As long as fans keep going to games, buying shirts/jerseys and watching on TV, the ticket prices will continue to soar and salaries will do the same. I don't blame the owners or the players....I blame us (the fans).
