I'm sorry.
But they stink...
Fizer doesn't stink. He's a good offensive player, but if you read the editorial post I wrote on the sticky... he just doesn't fit in that well with the Bulls. Maybe his style of play and all that, but he is in a minutes crunch and belongs on a team that would like to see some frontcourt offense, like Orlando or Miami.
ERob does stink. He has tremendous upside but it will be difficult to see him as the SG of the future when the Bulls are really going to begin trying to win games. He's one of those players that will have to develop off the court, in practice, and although the Bulls are very high on him (esp. since JK made him a prime target of that FA summer and is paying him well), he'll have to overcome a LOT and have some luck on his side to stay healthy and become a real contributor as a player. He cannot handle starting minutes at SG or SF, and I think that's one bad move that BC and the front office is trying to make, in throwing ERob into a starting role. Hassell is a better overall player, with more skills. And he was actually known as something of an athlete in college, you know... he's not just some average guard.
Earlier, during the regular season, RealGM had a ridiculous amount of ERob+Fizer trades. I honestly wouldn't mind if we just got back one decent frontcourt rebounding type and a secound rounder for these guys. JK does a lot with 2nd round picks, and we need rebounding. I'd even take an ERob + Fizer for Brian Grant + Miami future 2nd rounder (or even 1st rounder, protected from lottery... the Heat never make great use of their draft picks anyway, other than Butler this year). If the salaries would match up, I'd pull this trade. Injecting more youth in the future will serve a different purpose, as we might be headed towards the playoffs soon and we can have the luxury of bringing along players slowly...
I'm ready to defend my claim. Fizer might be improving and ERob might be exceptionally athletic, and I hope that the Bulls prove me wrong, but I know that a team never has some kind of amazing roster with no weaknesses... there's always one or two players that just don't fit. I'd put my money on ERob and Fizer.
