I would have ZERO problem replacing Brooks + Kirk's minutes with Crawford.


you're trading defense for offense, and offense isn't our problem.


Kirk really isn't defense anymore, Kirk isn't really any use anymore, the only really bad thing is that he has a no-trade
clause in his contract, he has to agree to be traded. And even worse, I don't think he wants to leave Chicago again.


He is pretty good on defense...still. Especially, PG defense.

Lets not twist facts here...also he just had twins. They are not even a year old. I dont think Mrs. Hinrich will be happy to move this season or the next.

I think the synergy stats show otherwise. Those had him worse than Rose with his man defense and barely better on pick and roll defense.

Clippers wants to trade Crawford for 1st to trade for Afflalo. If bulls are willing to trade for 1st, bulls might as well just trade for Afflalo directly.

Makes me sick that this myth is still alive. The Bulls never chose Rip over Crawford. We only had the MLE and Crawford was looking for 7M+. He wanted to come here but evidently not enough to take the MLE when we had it. Even then, we tried to work out a S&T with Atlanta, but they didn't want to take any salary back in a trade and so we couldn't make a deal. Then we signed Rip. Crawford ending up signing in Portland for their MLE anyway, but that was only after he waited as long as he could before realizing no one was giving him the 7-8M he was looking for.

If he had been willing to come for the MLE when we had it, we probably would've signed him.

Rip was always the Bulls main man that off season. Once he negotiated a buy out with Detroit who knew he was done we stupidly snapped him up on the same terms that JC went to Portland- It was a poor offseason.

Jamal has not been good this year. His shooting numbers are pretty woeful for a guy who's only job is to score.

Well, if the Clippers want to move him for a pick to land Afflalo or Chandler, its likely the other team will just take Afflalo or Chandler and cut the Clippers out.

So Clippers apparently think (unlike many fans here) Afflalo can play defense and fit in a system offense, as Crawford obviously doesn't.

More like the Clippers are feeling desperate and have nothing else to trade on the roster.
Losing to get high draft picks and hoping they turn into franchise players is not some next level, genius move. That's what teams want to happen in any rebuild/tank or whatever you want to market it as.
