Here's how all three players and the trade break down.   Chicago: A. Iguodala Given the way that East is starting to trend, Bulls may have to bulk in three areas: athleticism, versatility and depth. Iguodala is a start when analyzing both him and Thibodeau's commitment to making stops on defense.

Free Agency Talk: Derrick Rose To Be Traded …?

Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Del Choc in NBA
Rose To Be Traded? Yo, I keep hearing radio personalities expanding on the idea that Derrick Rose should be placed on the trading block to acquire the big-three in this year's Free Agency— in order for the money to enable the stars to play together. I understand Wade is ball-dominant, so as LeBron James, but if this were to happen, there is no way Rose would be made available. I'd rather keep my Rose and ...

NBA Draft Edition: Luke Babbitt

Posted: 20th June 2010 by Del Choc in NBA
Luke Babbitt 6'8" 225-lbs 20-old F Nevada We hear the reoccurring theme every time a white player with upside comes around: "Is he the next Larry Bird?" In this case, I would hand over that title to Luke Babbitt and not Butler's Gordon Hayward. You have to take Bird's core principles to heart, that being toughness, ability to blend in, and sheer will. When I see Babbitt catching feeds from ...

Larry Sanders 6'10" 225-lbs 21-old PF VCU Larry Sanders started playing organized basketball super late.

Posted: 18th June 2010 by Del Choc in NBA
76ers, by selecting Ohio State's Turner over Kentucky's Cousins, are about to cup an eight ounce of devil's karma.I know most of you are like, 'this dude is crazy.' But, respectively, contrast the tenures of Cousins and Turner during their college experiences. Sixers' fans are more accepting of not passing on this year's NCAA P.O.Y., the prospect who someone would considerably push upon their daughter's inquiry or play a game ...

NBA Draft Edition: John Wall

Posted: 16th June 2010 by Del Choc in NBA
John Wall 6'4'' 195 lbs 19 years old LG Kentucky Dubbed as the Magic Johnson of the iPod generation, John Wall is an eye-popping point guard because of his length and quickness. Point guards that are this 'proto' just don't walk through the YMCA often. I know most basketball junkies go straight to the reference of Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. He's like a mix of those ...

NBA Draft Edition: Armon Johnson Nevada Gaurd

Posted: 12th June 2010 by Del Choc in NBA
Armon Johnson, 6'4", 200 lbs, G, Nevada The 6'4" Chicago native hasn't drawn a lot of publicity because of a late transition to the point guard role. Early on, he was known to have a score-first mentality, where such capabilities afforded the 21-year-old bragging rights over his high school nemesis and college teammate, Luke Babbitt, for all-time scorers place, which was held by Babbitt the year previous. Armon ...
