IS the Bulls/Grizz game a showcase game for both teams?

For instance will Tyrus play 28-30 minutes will Nocioni play 40 minutes, Will Noah play big minutes as these are the three players expected to yield Gasol in trade talks (a combination of them, not all three)

I am of the DougThonus school of thought in that I believe showcasing is reserved for essentially one reason, and one reason only: to prove that an injured player is healthy.

You run just as much a chance of lowering a players value by "showcasing" them as you do increasing their stock.

Tyrus ain't getting 30 minutes let alone 20 minutes regardless who they playing.

I don't believe in the showcasing thing either.

The Bulls would die if Tyrus played 28-30 minutes.

One game doesn't determine the value if an individual player. There are scouts reporting on players all the time, every day of the year. It's good for fans like us to compare a match up like this, but it's not what determines a trade or anything like that.

LOL... The rest of the team would have to go out La Bamba style for Tyrus to see the floor...

I deleted the post thinking it would be too dark.

Knowing the Bulls, they will give Tyrus 25 minutes exclusively at the three.

Just so long as they keep him out at the three point line - thats all that matters...

He has to be at the three point line to feed Griffin in the post

There is no way Bulls are trading BOTH Tyrus & Noah

I agree its one or the other (looks like Tyrus at this point).

I saw something this morning that said if Stoudamire gets his buyout, he is hoping to sign with either the Celtics or the Suns -- both of whom are looking for a veteran back-up PG.
