i think with hindrich running the offense, bryant can just concentrate on scoring. plus theres ben wallace in the defensive end, chicago would be the team to beat. but i don't think they should give up too much. maybe wallace and duhon. i just think that chicago might give too much for bryant
Finally there is some love for Deron Williams! Lol I remember the times Chris Paul was getting all the love and Deron Williams was considered a joke. He really opened eyes in the postseason, and I think he has now accomplished the fact that he is on the same, if not better level than CP3. He took this team to the WCF, which was a team that did not make the playoffs for the past 3 years. It only took one year for him to earn startership and he proved what kind of a leader he can be.
I think D-Williams is better than Paul honestly. Paul has had injuries with the Hornets roster, but if I had to pick between the two im going with Williams all the way.

^^ I think Paul's better. Paul done well in NO when they was absolutey no talent around him. Whereas Williams was always surrounded with talent that takes the burden and pressure off him
This may be off topic...well it's totaly off topic but I just feel this needs to be said....As we all know, Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, and so is Kobe Bryant. I believe Jordan is better, and I'm sure most of you will agree with me, but I'm just curious about one thing...Everytime I bring up Kobe Bryant, people say he couldnt have won the three championships without Shaq, why is that? Don't people understand this is a team sport, nobody wins a NBA championship by himself. When I bring up Magic, nobody says he couldnt have done it without Wilt, Kareem, Worthy and all the other hall of famers. When I bring up MJ, nobody mentions Pippen or Rodman (who are both on NBA's top 50 greatest of all time list). So the question is, why does Kobe Bryant receive so much criticism?

because Shaq goes to miami and instantly gets a ring? yeah its a common criticism that Kobe faces, but i think everyone i know who talk about Jordan talk about Pippen and Rodman as well. and a dynasty is built with 2 or 3 good players, not one great one. i hear you rell, but i guess unless he shows he can bring lakers on a credible playoff run, it'll haunt him forever
I think the reason Kobe gets criticized so much is because many people especially in the media think he is selfish. When you say Jordan you think of arguably the greatest player of all time, and the six rings. When you say Kobe you think of him running Shaq out of town (Which wasnt the case, but thats how Laker management played it out and the media helped paint that picture), throwing away their dynasty. If Steve Nash's personality was transferred to Kobe's I guarantee that perception of Kobe would change.
Nice Defense for Paul, but he still has Desmond Mason, Tyson Chandler, Peja Stojakovic, David West. If you saw Williams take over in the playoffs, he kept Utah in most of those games, and raped the back court of San Antonio the first few games. When the Jazz's starters like Okur and Kirilenko weren't helping much, Williams had to do their work for them. He racked plenty of 30 point games in that series.
Paul has plenty of talent. Tell me what is so wrong with Mason, West, Chandler and the rest of the roster?
But when it always comes to N.O vs. Utah and both Paul and Williams are playing, Williams takes it to Paul.
Im not tryin to dick ride on Willy here, but there is blatant evidence that Williams isnt as bad as critiques say. Paul is more of the "mainstream" player because he is from Wake Forest, and he did so great his rookie year and such. Everyone, this is the year 2007. Get out of the year 2006.
Deron Williams has proved that he can take the game over by himself, and that he can contribute to other players.
Chris has proved that he can score and can contribute.

^^Well for one Paul have shown in the past year when he was injured that NO cannot win without him. Without williams, i think Utah is a decent team, and Williams make them a good team. just compare fisher and mason, i'd rather have mason. kirilenko, boozer and okur to chandler, west and stojatovic, which set of players will you pick? I think that the jazz definately have a better team for williams to work with.
And am I the only one who think hindrich is underrated? nobody ever talks about how he led the bulls, although thru the games, you could tell he's the leader on offense.

Hinrich is way under-rated. Very good PG, like you already said he leads the Bulls offense. In the first round against Miami his defense on Wade was amazing, against the Pistons however he did struggle. With all of that being said I think he will be an All-Star. Very bright future for Hinrich.

hinrich is a great player... he has great energy and speed, and a good shot as well. I say fck Kobe, get the asian dude in the draft, and watch, they'll make a good move also in the offseason (maybe KG or Rashard Lewis) and they will make it to the finals vs dallas or spurs... no doubt... i love my bulls... i got faith in my hometeam DAMMIT lol
Lewis he probally won resign with Seattle, and he will test the market. He will be a good pickup for whoever signs him. The center you're talking about will take time to develope, like Yao did. I think they will make it to the Finals and lose to Dallas more than likely.
