(The day that Pek comes back) imagine a lineup of Rubio, Wiggins, Bjelica, Towns, Pek.

No Americans, is that happend before ?

Towns is an American. Born in New Jersey. (his mom was Dominican born, hence playing internationally with the DR)

^This. He's having a few issues with traveling and not taking 3's, but they are fixable. In crunch time he has been really good.

Prince had a few huge baskets, but i'd like to see Bazz out there in crunch time with Rube, Wigg, Belly and Towns. Would be a very scrappy and a bunch of dogs defensively.

Rubio/Lavine/Wiggins/Bjelica/Towns. We saw that lineup in the first half and they did great! Was waiting for Mitchell to put that lineup out there in the 2nd half.

I'd like to see a small lineup of Rubio/Lavine/Wiggins/Bazz/KAT at some point

I wonder if the phone will be ringing regarding Kevin Martin's availability. Especially if we plan on giving minutes to the younger players.

Wiggins is moved to the 3 spot and makes 31 points.

This is like Kevin Durant all over.
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."

If my math is right KAT is averaging 3 blocks in 28 minutes in the first 5 games.

When was he moved to the 3?

Wiggins played 41 minutes. Prince played 39 minutes. Most of their playing time was together. Wiggins played a stretch at SF late in the 2nd, but that was about it.

I looked it up...he played 5 minutes at SF

Hoiberg's vaunted offense didn't look so hot, the Bulls missed 19 of their last twenty shots, they weren't running young guys out there... their defense is much worse then it used to be as well. Maybe Flip knew what he was doing not offering him the job? ;-)

I know Prince looked pretty good tonight and I know the Wolves won but 39 minutes is way too much for him.

I like him a lot. Once the refs stop picking on him he'll be really good.

They said it would be an easy win for CHI, they said that Mitotic is better than Bjelica, they said that Prince is trash and Wiggins can't shoot. They said we need Hoiberg and Mitchel is not a coach.

Prince doesn't really do anything except stay out of the way. The one thing he has going is that you know he's not gonna do anything to hurt you. Bazz isn't very good at staying out of the way or avoiding doing things that hurt you. Tho Bazz is obviously a much better player.

Higher ceiling doesn't necessarily mean better player.

That's not really the type of deal I'd be looking for. Both Gibson and Noah are close to 30. If we trade Martin, I just want a pick.
