2 things: 1. Who cares?? We will find out on draft night. 2. Nothing in that report says the bulls will for sure pass on Deng. I never said for sure, I said what was reported and got ripped on for "pulling stuff out of my ass". Also, I could care less about the Bulls and their string of top 5 picks 35 years in a row.

Deng will suck as a pro, Okafor will suck as a pro thanks and good day Now that is good stuff! :thumbup

That was not your inital claim, you only said that after I called you out on your stupid remark. The Bulls might not even take Deng, they have Childress higher now also. You are a moron and have proven it time and time again with your remarks. BTW, not one of your Illinois guards could tocuh Livingston and that is a fact. Livingston was a higher recruit than both, better pro potential, size and a feel for the game. Get a clue. You just pulled that out of your ass. The Bulls have Deng #2 on their board behind Emeka Okafor who will be gone before Chicago picks. Link: http://www.suntimes.com/output/sports/cst-spt-bull23.html Know what you are talking about before you spew your nonsense. Hey PASSION - Oh did I spew nonsense or are you just ranting about stuff you have no clue about and I do? How about Fridays Insider report on ESPN.com buddy: Stock Watch # Deng, Childress or Iguodala to the Bulls? Luol Deng's decision to work out for teams, alone, on the Duke campus could haunt him (if he decides to stay in the draft). Teams want to see how he stacks up against several of the other top prospects. Right now Deng is refusing to accommodate. It's not an uncommon practice for a player ranked this high to play that game, but it's frustrating to NBA teams. Andre Iguodala Andre Iguodala has an outside shot at being the No. 3 pick. Meanwhile both Arizona's Andre Iguodala and Stanford's Josh Childress have been impressing people to the point several scouts now claim to have both ranked ahead of Deng on their boards. What gives? The advantages Iguodala and Childress have over Deng are athleticism and experience. Childress has played three years for Stanford, and had a breakthrough season. Several scouts claim he looked awesome in workouts. We've moved him up to the No. 4 pick to Charlotte, but it's not out of the question the Bulls could decide Childress, not Deng, makes the most sense at No. 3. Don't count out Iguodala at No. 3, either. While he's more of a two than a three, his defense, athleticism, passing, ball-handling ability and NBA body are off the charts. The big question has been his shot. However, several individuals who have seen him work out lately claim his outside shot is looking good. He's still not going to be a sharpshooter from beyond the arc, but neither was former Marquette standout Dwyane Wade, who made a tremendous impact as a rookie for the Miami Heat. Iguodala, like Wade, has the quickness and strength to go to the rack. While some scouts worry his offense may be lacking, other intangibles could convince the Bulls to take a shot on the Springfield, Ill., native. If the Bulls don't take him, the Bobcats or the Hawks might. Where does that leave Deng? Still not in bad shape. The Bobcats have him ranked very high and would love for him to fall to No. 4. It doesn't mean they'd take him, but they'd like the option. The Bulls could go with Deng. His maturity, leadership, freakish wingspan and sound fundamentals make him a safe choice. While scouts aren't convinced Deng will be a superstar in the league, most feel he has a chance to be a good player. How about that for pulling the reports out of my ass, smart guy?

Yeah, I'm backing out of my claim by saying Deng will be a good solid NBA player.... You are one the dumbest people I've ever encountered on this site. I'm normally nice, but when utter stupidity is in front of me like this, my kindness doesn't last. That was not your inital claim, you only said that after I called you out on your stupid remark.

I'm VERY happy the Bulls got the #3 pick.... Odds are now they will get Luol Deng, who has the most potential of any player in this year's draft BY FAR IMO. By far? No way! I have never seen one expert say Deng has the most potential, let alone by far. That is usually reserved for Josh Smith or Dwight Howard. Deng usually gets "solid player, does everything well but nothing exceptional, will he ever be a star?" Homer. Umm no..... I have been hoping the Bulls would get the #3 pick for months now. I don't want to deal with another high school kid like Howard, or a 6'9 "big man" with back problems like Okafor. Deng will be a very solid NBA player, and that's why I want him. I find him to be a sure bet to be a good NBA player, while Okafor and Howard have question marks. Far cry from your other claim. There is no "other claim". You are just trying to be a retard, and doing a good job of it I must say. Your other claim of "most potential in the draft"....forget that little claim you made?

The bulls can not risk taking potential over guarantees, if you were a bulls fan you would know. You really do just like to pick fights for the hell of it, not based on any merit. That was not what I had a problem with. I was objecting to his claim that Deng was the best player in the draft and had the "most potential BY FAR". I agree Deng is the pick for the Bulls, although trading would not be a bad idea but it is a homer comment to claim he is the best player with the most potential.

I cheer for the Wolves, but Saunders should be fired and Cassell is overated and they'll probably lose tonight. Sals thats my stance on the Wolves. :whistle Quit blowing smoke up everyones ass.

i doubt that will get the job done. Not a bad offer at all. Floyd is amazing and Byrd is not bad.

Ricky BETTER get suspended, because Torrance Marshall (LB, GBP) and Cletidus Hunt (DT, also a packer) both got 4 games for their 2nd violation. If Ricky doesn't somethings going on with the star treatment. Depends on the violation. They were suspended for Steroids and performance enhancing drugs I believe. Also, BTW, Hunt and Marshall aren't stars now? WTF is going on, I thought all Packer players were stars!

Davis' by far. Your all saying Wade because of "homeritis". *homers, homers* Davis by far? You are a hyppocrite. If it was any TWolves player you'd scream for him on this poll. Wade just flat out posterized O'Neal and jumped straight up over him, elevated higher and quicker. His dunk was better. Simple.

Roy Jones is not "done" and he is still a very good and top shelf fighter. True boxing fans and anaylst who saw the fight should be making comments, not people who know nothing about the fight or the sport. Roy Jones was actually handling the fight very well and won the first round, controlling the tempo and surprising Tarver with his speed and power. In a brief exchange, Tarver missed, Roy missed a counter and Tarver clocked him perfectly, albeit a lucky counter punch. Roy went down, it happens, end of story. He is still the better of the two fighters. s*** happens!

do the refs not even count to 5 on the inbounds? Quit your whining and loophole excuses, the Spurs got outplayed at home and lost. They did not deserve to win. PERIOD.

kobe scored some 15 points or so in the 4th quarter or so in game 4. i made my post after game 1. didnt really say anything after game 2. idiot. as far as tonight..... spurs played like crap for 3 and a half quarters, lost by 1. thats life. win game 6 in LA which isnt impossible and you are right back where you want to be. the clock operator is an idiot though and didnt start the clock as soon as fischer caught the ball....and payton had more than 5 seconds to inbound the ball...but thats life. i dont see you coming in here after the dolphins lay an egg neither, yet you have your little b***h fest with other users all the time. kettle = black. That still leaves over 25 points that he scored through three quarters, still a huge amount. Name one time when I post when the Dolphins win and just don't when they lose, go look it up. When do I do the stuff you do with the Spurs. You are the idiot, not me. Happy Birthday, glad the Lakers could provide you with a present. And you did talk after game two, but not 3 or 4.

Tony Parker. Another 'ok' game. Yeah you are right, if you are talking about games 3 & 4.

Oh and in the 4th quarter last night....Bruce Bowen wasnt even on the floor guarding Kobe. But you fail to even recognize that and just look at raw stats. :thumbup So I guess Kobe scored all of his 40+ points in the fourth then and the majority did not come on Bowen? Wow, thanks for correcting me. It's just funny how you did not post threads for the series for games 3 & 4 like you did for games 1 & 2. You got quiet. Thats all.

Decent games in 3 & 4 wins over the Spurs. Kobe Bryant is 'ok' Ok enough to be a top 5 guard in this league easily.....he keeps improving with each game. Since March 1.....how many guards have been better than Kobe? I know Tony Parker ISNT one of those. I think Kobe put the Bruce Bowen true Defensive Player of the Year talk to rest also.

Tony Parker. Another 'ok' game. 2 Words.... Who Cares?

ok, I have seen enough. Easley needs to start more didnt i call for easley to play more like 3 weeks ago? And you were also the one who claimed Zach was a ringer on Dream Job, do I need to find that thread?

It was ONE game. I am sick and tired of seeing you post your junk based on one good game. When the Spurs lose one game you say it is one game, when they win its the greatest thing since sliced bread. You make so many outrageous predictions and claims and most do not come true yet you will praise yourself when the few do. Great call on the Timberwolves not holding onto the one seed. Great call on Duncan rasing his game and Garnett folding and not being able to hold onto the MVP. God, get over yourself.

Thats just like Barnett wasn't even a Top 5 rated LB last year, and Moss wasn't the highest rated WR in the 1998 draft, or Favre being the #1 QB in 1991. Moss was rated the highest WR in 1998 by almost every publication and expert as was Barnett a top 5 LB, get the facts right. It means exactly nothing. It would to you if it were the other way around. As a player, I have no doubt that Poole is a steal. He will be a very good player, but I just don't like the character problems, Pete Carroll has described Poole to many NFL scouts as somebody that has an Ego and thinks he's better then his teammates. Where have you seen Carroll "describe" Poole to many NFL scouts as someone with and ego and better than his teammates? I have only seen that Carroll has given him glowing reports and said his maturity as a senior was remarkable and a great team asset. Please provide proof and LINKS for your bold and fabricated comments! And Sals I also never questioned the pick of Carey, I think he is a good selection and will be a very good OL for years to come. I thought he wasn't worth "sacraficing" our draft for? By giving up all of our 1 4th round pick! Back tracker!

this is what i dont understand.... what revelance does offensive numbers have to do with artest and his defensive abilities? you see the media quote this many times.... what does that matter? It doesn't have any. We know Artest is better than Bowen as an overall player because he is better offensively. I am a Heat fan and have first hand seen him play great defense but in no way is he a better defender than Ron Artest is either. Artest is quicker, bigger, more physical and stronger. Not to take anythign away from Bowen, but Artest did desverve the award and is a better defender.

Poole= CHARACTER PROBLEM, and very slow. There's a reason he slid to the 4th round. In the past and his speed is fine. He had a virus when he ran in the 4.6 range and lost 10 pounds during the week, yet ran anyway. He ran a 4.5 in his campus workout. He is a great CB and was rated higher than both of your CBs on several draft lists by some experts. For a 4th round pick, it is a steal. You would be singing high praises if the Pack took him in round 4. Character problems? He stole something 4 years ago and has been clean ever since, everyone since has given him glowing recommendations. Picking Carey I gave a B, but they didn't have to trade up to get him, Minnesota was gonna take Udeze anyway. So it puzzle's me then why the Fins sacrificed their draft for Carey. But they did. Well let me solve this puzzle for you. Dallas was trying to trade up, along with one other team, to leap frog Miami and select Carey when Andrews went off the board at 16. Carey has great potential and is the mamoth run blocker we need for Ricky Williams.

I know it wasn't ever the Packers. But a lot of Packers fans had their fingers crossed. I'm just tickled the Packers finally signed somebody (Mark Roman) Yeah, he is a super bowl caliber roster move! :whistle
