Ask any bulls fan Bogans is ****ing horrible. This is not something to be happy about, they could not wait to get rid of this guy. Balkman gives you more. Why is it that people get so hyped when we are linked to trash, no news is good news.
I tend to agree. Keith Bogans? Really? And cutting Lin to make room? I don't like it.. I mean you're carrying Lin just in case something happens to Shump, GOD FORBID, we have some more PG depth to fall back on. TD is not a PG -- I don't wanna see him in that situation anymore. EVER. Period, the end. Tell you what though, Shump ever goes down, that's EXACTLY what we'll see. And if that happens, be prepared to see some ugly offense that stalls all over the joint again..Even though Bibby's playing well, he's more in the TD mold (perimeter oriented guard that's really only looking to shoot). Also, is Bibby gonna stay healthy now with increased mins? I hope so but who knows? Shump's our only guard that can really penetrate and set up others (how 'bout the two drives with no-look shuffle passes to STAT for dunks last night --- TD and Bibby can't do that)...Not that Lin was really an answer there either (the more I saw of him, the less I thought he could really be a factor for us) but he was still good insurance.
I mean if Bogans comes in and takes Walker's mins, I guess we're OK. I personally don't care for Walker at all -- lazy ass defender with terrible shot-selection... But you can't convince me there aren't better 2Gs out there...They really should've signed Reggie Williams (even though he hurt his knee and has been out, that was still the guy to get right before the season started)...How 'bout Manny Harris? Paul Harris formerly from Syracuse, now playing ball in the Philippines (great defender/rebounder for a guard, better offensive potential than Bogans, better upside)?? Sylven Landesberg (Israel)? AD Vassallo (France)? Ryan Wittman or Robert Vaden as an extra lights-out shooter??
What they really should be doing is replacing Lin with even better PG insurance (there's a ton of young PGs out there with real nice upside, esp. in this system): Patty Mills, Ben Hansbrough, Curtis Jerrells, Curtis Stinson, Sherron Collins, Demetri McCamey..
I don't care for this move at all. Hope I'm wrong though and Bogans comes in and has some kind of impact. :crossfingers:
