Why can't you? People here overrate Deng by FAR. Many do anyway. He's gonna be pretty good, but man, I heard some saying before the season that Scottie Pippen type good wasn't out of the question. I just laugh. The guy has no chance of ever being as good as Alex English.
BUT, here's my question. If Deng is so good, doesn't he have huge trade value? Morrison and Nocioni is FINE at SF, and SF is probably the easiest position to find a good player at of all five positions.
If Morrison + whatever we could get for Deng > Deng and Aldridge, then you have to consider it.
Morrison is far from being as good of an all around player, but we have players that do all the little things and dirty work. Morrison reminds me of Reggie Miller.. in style? No. But as far as instant offense, quick release... you can put a bunch of defensive role players around him and tell him to throw up the rock. Yes. He's that good and that QUICK of a shooter.

I'm not saying Morrison ain't DOPE..he'll be a real good NBA player..possibly even great..
but at this point in time...I don't think u take that chance....Deng is getting better game by game...he's a good fit here...it's not like he doesn't have much upside or somethin...I could see if he was EDIT as much Ben does.....
but the chances of Morrison being a superstar are possible...just as possible as it is for Deng to be an allstar...
IMO EVERYBODY is tradeable for the right player.....
I could possibly be wrong at the end of the day though...who knows

Morrison was pretty amazing last night. And he's actually made me a believer that he could really fit here. The only question is, where does he fit?
If we're in position to draft him, I'd be all for either of these scenarios:
a) Draft Morrison, trade Nocioni. Have Deng & Morrison duke it out for the starting SF position. More than likely, one of these guys can come off the bench and be very successful. I can even envision playing Deng & Morrison together as our forwards in spurts, and being successful (I think Deng will eventually be able to play the 4 at times, ala Marion). For some reason, I could see them playing really well together.
or b) Draft Morrison, find a team who is ga-ga for him, and trade him to the highest bidder. Not sure what this could land us...it depends on how high his stock continues to rise. It's looking good so far though...he certainly has a "Baby Dirk" feel about him.

I guess it all depends on where NY pick will end up. Somehow trading Noc and/or Deng (and filler)would turn NY pick and our own No.1 into Morrison, Bargani and a 1st rounder, I am all for trading Deng or Noc. If option is to lose both Deg and Noc to get only Morrison and Bargani (and no other 1st rounder), then I am not sure if we lose too much to get Morrison and Bargani.

Deng is not playing the 4 or the 2, and he has way higher value than Noce, who will also never command within 25% of Deng's next salary, AND is well within 25% of the player Deng is now, and probably always will be well within the player Deng is. Why trade Noce? Deng makes much more sense.
Not only that, but Deng seems to be way more injury prone than Noce. NOCE IS PRACTICALLY OUR GOD!
No but seriously, Noce is a steal, and Deng should be on the block. Send him out of town for whatever you can grab at this point.
Oh wait, JR would rather just ruin us some more.
RIGHT?!
RIGHT!! :banana:

I love Morrison too, as I mentioned that he's almost a can't-miss prospect, but Deng is still younger than Morrison, and he will already have two years of NBA experience. Still, Morrison is a scorer all over the court, and if the Bulls are in a situation in which Bargnani and Aldridge are gone I would draft Morrison. I think Paxson can still possibly draft Morrison, especially when he still drafted Gordon knowing well that Hinirich established himself the year before.
You've got to admit that Morrison seems to have a greater motor and passion for the game than Gay or Aldridge. He is something!
If Skiles is the coach, Morrison might not even get off the bench. His defense is absolutely deplorable/terrible/attrocious.Pippenatorade said:Why can't you? People here overrate Deng by FAR.

One of the final possessions of the game he just stood there while his man blew right by him for a layup. This was one of the most critical plays of the game, and he just freaking stood there.
Is it that much worse than Eddy Curry's? Also, is it worse than JJ?The Truth said:If Skiles is the coach, Morrison might not even get off the bench. His defense is absolutely deplorable/terrible/attrocious.
Yes, it's worse than JJ's.Pippenatorade said:Is it that much worse than Eddy Curry's? Also, is it worse than JJ?
At least JJ busts his ***. Morrison just doesn't seem to care.
It's funny, whenever JJ's pro potential is discussed everybody points out that he will have difficulty playing defense in the NBA. People don't usually mention it about Morrison.
It's probably because most people just haven't seen Morrison play much.
So Morrison scores some in the clutch against a lousy team and as the teammate of one of the better bigs in NCAAB. His team should be better than they are: they are barely scratching out narrow wins against garbage teams.
I'm with TripleDouble and the Truth for now: A. this happened against XAVIER, not the 1970 Knicks. If Morrison does this in the Final Four, I'll weight it accordingly. B. I shudder to think of Morrison trying to guard someone like LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony. Whoever drafts him is going to play a lot of zone whether they want to or not.
Yeah, he's good. But I think he's a cannibal.
LOL!!TheATLien said:Yeah, he's good. But I think he's a cannibal.
The best thing that Morrison does is what the Bulls are good at doing, shooting off a screen or a pick.
Everyone knows what the Bulls lack but we underestimate just how good we are at pick and rolls and pick and pops.
From what I've watched of Gonzaga, Morrison would have no problem playing for Skiles. Morrison strikes me as a gym rat and this team is not so much looking for jib but for guys who love to play the game. Morrison looks like he plays the game for the love it not the millions that await him.
