I'm going with the home boy Derrick Rose. Both of these guys obviously have the potential to go first overall, but, I think Derrick Rose has more potential to become a great player. Plus, he the Bulls know that Rose really wants to play for them. That may mean a lower pay check for the Bulls to give. Anyway, if they take Rose, most likely they'll trade Hinrich. That can be one way to get a big man in return. Trust me, there are some teams that would have definite interest in him. Another way for them to get a big man is to draft one in the second round, or even trade the second rounder and Kirk to get back in the first. And just to put it out there, does the name Thabo Sefolosha sound like a good basketball player name?

The way the Bulls have been heading, if they don't pick the right player, they're going to be in a huge whole. If I'm the Bulls, I pick athleticism and ability over a captain. Derrick Rose will have a better career than Kirk. Rose will also have a better career if he goes to the Bulls than if Beasley were to go to Chicago. Basically what we're doing now is seeing who we'd take between Rose, Beasley, AND Heinrich. Heinrich, no doubt has the captain inside him, but if you would seriously take him over Rose, who will have better years and even more years than Kirk, your team is in trouble. Getting back to Beasley-Rose comparisons: Rose, like I said has more athleticism and ability than Beasley. Beasley does not have the the athleticism to go up against other PF's in the league, while Derrick Rose can with other PG's. The only concern with Rose's game is his outside shot. But one PG who also had that problem was Chris Paul and look how he's doing.

Wow, leading the Bulls without Hughes and Gooden. Cause Hughes never gets hurt or cries like a baby when he doesn't get what he wants. So far we've compared Beasley to Durant and Rose to Chris Paul. In my opinion, most people would pick Paul in his prime over Durant in his prime. Now both are a good pick, but, the NBA is starting to become a PG's league with guys like Paul, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, etc.

Like I said earlier, the Bulls need to get better right away because if they do the wrong thing, they'll end up with the most ping pong balls next year. The best thing for them to do would be to get Rose and trade Heinrich for an already proven forward. The Bulls won't miss Kirk that much if they can get a better replacement. You don't always need that one leader. If the team can come together as one, the don't need that one leader. Just look at the Celtics. They had one leader for a long time, Paul Pierce, and never got to the Finals.. They bring in more superstars and they win the Finals in their first year. The Bulls can accomplish this by getting the better talent in Rose.
