The Possi-Bulls
I was quite impressed with the way the Bulls handled themselves against the Heat in the NBA Playoffs first round and it got me thinking about the team they could have had, had they not got involved in some pretty stupid trades over the years. The team I came up with was:
Kirk Hinrich
Ron Artest
Elton Brand
Luol Deng
Eddy Curry/Brad Miller
With Ben Gordon, Chris Duhon, Jamal Crawford and Andres Nocioni on the bench. Seems like a rock solid contender to me.
I wonder how much they would give to be able to go back in time and stop themselves from trading Brand for the bust that Tyson Chandler has turned out to be. They also essentially traded Artest and Miller for Michael Sweetney.
Have they got the worst trade history of the last 5 years or has someone else made some even more bone-headed decisions?
