We got the #1 pick...pencil in D.Rose.
We got a coach...pencil in D.Collins (at least temporarily).

We got a crap load of underpreforming players, including way to many
guards.

Is this our lineup:

Rose
Hinrich
Deng
Thomas
Noah

-?

Who's out? Hinrich? Gordon? Anyone not named Deng or Rose?

Sam Smith's stuff has been interesting, but he's looking at Wade in
2010...I can't wait that long, though it would be nice.

I think 2 of these 3 will be traded before the season: Gordon,
Hinrich and Thomas. I don't know who, but they will bring in a
scoring big man to compliment Rose and Deng, with Hughes and Thabo
playing the 2 next to Rose.

Also, Smith has really be spreading rumors about Beasley's work ethic
and questionable off court past. Not sure if that's just trying to
stir the pot, but he obviously wants the Bulls to take Rose.
