Bulls Fans React to Smooth

You damn right he'll be starting soon. We finally have a star caliber player who can be a closer in the 4th Quarter, plus Drew Gooden!

Which means Ben Gordon's happy behind can get the heck of the city, with his inconsistent self. The Bulls got the better part of the trade, and it'll definitely show next year when we storm to the top of the Central Division.

Waiting His Turn

Idiot Mumblings

I can’t wipe the smile off my face.

Did that just happen? Danny Ferry convinced another team to take Larry Hughes?! Ponder that for a moment. I’m almost afraid to write about this until the league formally reviews and approves the deal.

Cavs get:

Bulls get

Sonics get

Is this a good deal for the Cavs? I think so, but the best way to evaluate a trade like this is to wait a year and see what the hell happens. So I’m holding off on any grades, but I commend Danny Ferry for making a move.

And now the question: What am I going to do with this site?
I’m not sure right now, and I feel like I need a few days to figure it out.

Here’s the plan:
1) Brainstorm my options
This site could go in a number of directions such as: keeping it going for Bulls fans, turning it into a Cavs site, selling the site, or turning it into a general NBA site. I’m also considering shutting it down completely. Or perhaps someone would like me to write for their site.

2) Let the fans decide
Once I come up with my top 5 options, I’m going to launch a survey on the site and I’m going to let everyone vote. I’ll count the votes and go from there.

So please comment or send me an email (heylarryhughes@gmail.com) if you have any good ideas, and I’ll consolidate the feedback and build the survey. Thanks to everyone for all of your participation, comments, and Cleveland sports loyalty. It’s been a lot of fun.

In the meantime, I’m gonna get off the couch and try to do some good for the community.

February 21, 2008 – The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has acquired forward/center Drew Gooden, guard Larry Hughes, guard Shannon Brown and forward Cedric Simmons from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Joe Smith, Ben Wallace and Chicago’s 2009 regular second round draft pick.

Also as part of the three-team trade, Chicago has sent guard/forward Adrian Griffin to Seattle. Chicago’s roster now stands at 15.

“We are all very much aware that this season has not advanced as we anticipated. With that said, we will continue to evaluate and reshape our roster where necessary, until we can get to where we want to be as a team,” said John Paxson, Bulls Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations.

“This particular trade gives us the opportunity to solidify a couple of positions, as well as provide our team with some much needed scoring," he added. "The continued development of our young, big front line is crucial and this move today will allow them to gain valuable minutes on the court, which in turn will allow us to make the key decisions we are going to be faced with in the very near future.”

Gooden (6-10, 250) is averaging 11.3 ppg, 8.3 rpg and 30.7 mpg in 51 games on the year. He has started every game that he has appeared in and has posted 16 double-doubles this season.
