BIG NEWS!!!
Well, this week has been hectic. I really was hoping to get into some comparisons to write some analysis of Bonds vs. the Babe(as hitters, the Babe's pitching obviously makes him FAR superior as an overall baseball talent) and possibly into Tejada vs. Jeter.
However, tomorrow, July 1st, is my wedding day.
This week has been very full of last minute wedding plans and time spent with my soon to be wife.
But getting back to a little bit of sports stuff(just a little bit, gotta get back to work soon):
The NBA Draft.
There are three teams I want to address.
The first is my team, the Chicago Bulls. They picked up Tyrus Thomas, Thabo the Swiss league guy, and in the trade that also brought them Ty Thomas, they also brought in Viktor, the Mad Russian
They had two needs to address: A power forward with some size and a shooting guard with some size. The Bulls were badly undersized at key positions this season and Thabo addresses the need at the 2. Tyrus and Viktor don't necessarily address the need at the 4, but they give the Bulls some key pieces to either add some serious depth or make a run at a player like Kevin Garnett should be become available.
Also, with the news that the Bulls are supposedly making plans to make a run at Detroit star Ben Wallace or as a 2nd option, Portland free agent Joel Przybilla, this shows that the Bulls plan has been simply to add talent, and to worry about their size problems in free agency.
This may be an excellent strategy. Bigs take awhile to develop in the NBA typically, and a player like LaMarcus Aldridge, probably the best available player in the draft of major size at 6'11", is probably a year and 20 lbs. of muscle away from being the type of low-post bruiser the Bulls need to put alongside Tyson Chandler(who from many reports could be trade bait).
The other two teams: Portland and New York.
These are two of the most free-spending teams(along with Dallas) of the past several years. However, unless Dallas, both of these teams have seen their free spending to be entirely fruitless.
D'oh.
Ran outta time.
anyway, go to this site if you want to see how bad of shape the Knicks are.
Time for wedding/reception/beginning of the honeymoon! Will post sometime around the 10th or so.
