Who should be our starting PG?

Its literally adding insult to injury.

It's a knife in my heart, and eyes.

But, you'll feel fine once we win again.

You may not like how we win, but we'll win a lot.

Winning what, exactly?

[mj234eva]

I would do something like:

Brooks 28 / Hinrich 20 (yikes, or 5-10 Moore)
Butler 38 / Snell 10
Snell 16 / Dunleavy 24 / Niko 8
Noah 22 / Gibson 18 / Niko 8
Gasol 32 / Noah 8 / Gibson 8

Brooks starting is negative value.

I expect to still be debating the Bulls viability when the ECF start. I'm not guessing at anything past that

Regular season games and 2 playoff rounds. And 1 ECF game. Maybe 2.

Hinrich should start to get Butler, Gasol and MDJ set up properly and scoring properly. Brooks value is as a sharpshooter and scorer. With him starting Gasol particularly gets mitigated and the Bulls have no real offensive flow. It forces Brooks into the main scorer role if he starts.

I am still trying to understand why anyone would want Nate when the bulls already have Brooks. seems redundant to me.

Because Brooks can't play 48 minutes a game and Hinrich has a PER of less than 8, is shooting 37% from the floor and has been battling injuries himself. But other than that, he's also been terrible.

So you get 48 minutes of Brooks/Nate? yeah, that will work great. You may as well just give Gasol the rest of the season off.

Losing doesn't excite me.

Brooks energy at the start of games and Nate energy off the bench would do wonders for this team. More energy means better team. Kirk Hinrich would allow Brooks and Nate to play more of a shooting guard role.

You play some combination of all 3 at the PG position. First, its not like Kirk has been the picture health - he is just coming back from a toe injury he says has bothered him all year. 2nd Hinrich has barely even plays PG for the Bulls this year, he's been on the wing. There is a reason for that. If you get Nate you can play him with Hinrich. Its not like Hinrich is some expert at getting people the ball. 3rd, the Bulls are use to having scoring point guards. If a roster spot opens up, Nate is a good choice b/c he knows the system and some of the guys.

And 4th, why does everyone ignore Hinrich is putting up the worse PER of any regular rotation player? What is with you Hinrich fans? For no other play are stats ignored as much as they are for Hinrich. 36% shooter on the year. slipping defense. Hardly any assists or rebounds. "Great! Plug him in."

Listen, I know the Bulls are going to start and play Hinrich more. And I know he's going to be awful. He was awful last year.He's been worse this year. At least if we have Nate we have a guy who can win us a game or two.
