The Chicago Bulls won the luck of the draw, nailing down the #1 pick despite a 1.7 percent chance of getting there. Hence, we must debate what they plan to do with the pick.

I say they trade the pick, plus next year's number 1, to the Knicks for Eddy Curry. Eddy Curry's ticker is working properly now, and a return to the Bulls will re-ignite the big man's career.

That said, there is nothing wrong with trading two Number 1 picks for Curry, as the Knicks have done this before and since they're from NY - they are always trying to win. Duplicating this trade would signify to the Bulls' fans that they will spend what is necessary, as well as committing to a winning product on the court.

Plus, the Knicks need the pick moreso than the Bulls do. Derrick Rose, a future star at the point, belongs on the Knicks. Not the Bulls. We all know this. Even the Bulls know this. They have Kirk Hinrich, who technically fulfills the 'average white boy on the team that we have to keep to save face with white fans who like players who listen to rock' rule. Thats a new rule in place that the Bulls have to consider.

Eddy Curry. Do it up Chicago.

Derrick Rose, I must reiterate, belongs on the NY Knicks. I mean, why not? He's the best, and the Knicks have the biggest need at the point. I don't see the disagreement there. Plus, his name is Rose, and roses smell good. They are also a nice gift, and the Knicks have many female fans in NY.

The Knicks, playing in NY, are always under pressure to win. Hence they made a trade that immediately attempted to bulk up the frontcourt. It shows they are committed. Should the Bulls do the same thing, it would tell their fans that they have an undying commitment to winning. Trading those picks is obviously a strong move.

Hinrich is talented. We are in agreement. And I guess you didn't get the league memo. You mis-stated the rule...it's in the books: "average white boy on the team that we have to keep to save face with white fans who like players who listen to rock." He's good. Which is why they don't need Rose. Who brought up race?

It's not a re-do of the trade. It's simply showing a commitment to win. We all know NY teams are committed to win, and they are usually always right. Why wouldn't Chicago want to be right too?

The Knicks deserve Rose. Every rose has a thorn.

The Knicks may have been playing poorly, but you sir are engaging in a debate over right and wrong. Centuries have gone by and still - there is no definitive right and wrong.

I believe this is the right move not out of 'fandome', but out of exhaustive analysis I performed on the situation.

Yes - the Bulls already had Curry. Nothing happened? Lots of stuff happened. Need I dip into the events that occurred in the world during his tenure to prove my point? I think not. Also - he got traded. That's something alright. Sheesh. 'Nothing'...

If they have a young team, they need another young guy? Cmon now. Are they going to share Count Chocula on the road too? They need an experienced veteran such as Curry, who has spent alot of time on the floor. Experience is experience. Just ask John McCain.

2 last points: Math. Curry hasd 6,750 points. Rose? None. Sorry. You lost that one. Just call me butter, because I'm on a roll.

Further, Chicago is his native town? His name is Rose. His home is a GARDEN. You know...where Roses grow? He has to play in Madison Square Garden because where else can he exist? Roses don't grow in United Centers. Thats just silly talk.
