How terrible is it that there aren't many options...

At the wing as far as tradeable assets go. Looking around the league and it's kind of sad that your next level wing players are basically a bunch of vagabonds. The Bulls are in need of a more dominant wing coming off of the bench yet there really isn't anyone out there better than Dunleavy or McD. That says a lot because McD is a rookie who hasn't played much and Dunleavy is more of a third SF than a guy who should be getting 25+ minutes. And yes, I know for this team Mike has shown that he is a glue type player but player wise he's a down the bench type of guy. I may be wrong in this but the only name I can come up with is afflalo and that's it. Who else is out there that I'm missing.

It doesn't even need to be as good Afflalo.

Corey Brewer would have been fine. In Houston he's putting 11.3 ppg, 38% 3P shooting, 1.3 spg; and all it took was a D-League player and 2nd round picks and cash.

I don't think the Bulls want an upgrade. I think they seriously think of Hinrich as a permanent rotation wing.

Its all about Jimmy for me. Our entire team isn't going to be perfect for us to win every single game, and same for the playoffs. If Jimmy isn't what we thought he was, we're screwed either way.

We need him to be that second scorer, or the first scorer we witnessed this year, otherwise you're expecting us to be a perfect team every single night out. You need that other player to tear it up most nights to be a true contendor, like we looked like a few games ago.

Jimmy giving you what you always wanted from Deng is what put us into contendor status. If he's not for real, its Derrick or bust again, and we're screwed if its gonna be like that. Pau isn't young enough to rely on in the playoffs. He's gonna have plenty of 12 pt. 7 rebounds nights. In Jimmy we need.
