Here is the info: NBA Draft Lottery: May 20 NBA DRAFT: June 26 in New York City |

I really hope we could get DJ Augustin if we can't get Rose. Augustin is fast enough, with good penetration and great quickness. If we did hire D'Antoni, he'd be a much better option running the run-and-gun offense than Hinrich would.

But in terms of running around and creating havoc I think he'd do a good job of that. He also had a good shot. Either way, it would be nice to have him as a backup if Duhon leaves. |

Although D'Antoni would love his basketball IQ, passing and ability to stretch the defense, Love struggles to play the up-and-down game. A pure point guard such as Texas' D.J. Augustin, who has modeled his game on Nash's, might be a better pick. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/insider/colu...ge=Bulls-080506 Paxson would have a lot of options. In FA, you've got guys like Matt Barnes, Mickael Pietrus, Jose Calderon, Jarvis Hayes, Josh Smith, Josh Childress, J.R. Smith, Kelenna Azuibuke, Andre Igoudala, and Monta Ellis who could flourish in D'Antoni's offense. |
