Iverson to the Bulls...Is it a fit?
IMO Iverson would be a perfect fit to fix the Bulls. He would make up for Gordons 22ppg loss as well as be the "stand up" shooter they don't have now. He would also be the "go to" guy in the last 3 minutes of a game which they no longer have (don't say TO Rose of the layups and free throws only game) and also be the vocal locker room leader which they don't have. Did I say Perfect Fit?
Opinions...........

The Bulls have no vocal leader as per Hinrich himself. AI just fits all the ZBulls need and all he wants is to be a starter. WCI..They need a good kick in the a$$ in the locker room IMO

Gordon had no problem coming off the bench. Unless the Bulls are ready to make AI a starter, this wouldn't be a good move. On second thought, even if they made him a starter, its a bad move. AI is bad for the young guys in the locker room. The interviews from Melo talking about AI partying all night before games were not good for Denver. AI is an amazing talent, but the guy is a cancer to a team.

either way hes not worthy of being a starter, and he wont come off the bench unless he has a shot at a ring

so that leaves 3-4 teams he can play for or he may as well retire for good

gl AI has never made one player around him better. The year he took the 6ers to the Finals had a ton to do with Larry Brown. Dont get me wrong AI was great but this guy at this stage in his career doesnt realize he isnt a 40minute player anymore. He will be a team killer which in the Knicks case doesnt really matter so thats where he should land

Its good to see ya around here chibob. The Bulls do need someone to pick up what Gordon took with him to Detroit. BTW, I see where Bacon got 5th in the ROY vote...LOL I said earlier I thought Porcello should have won. Overall I think Getz was their best rookie. More consistent as Bacons avg dropped 50 points in the last 6 weeks.

I honestly don't think the Bulls will miss Godon, unless someone goes down. He couldn't guard you and the kid from USC is doing the defense thing..ask King James

Yes, lots of crying for Bacon, when he was really a ham all along LOL

Iverson is poison. Why would anyone think he would be a good fit on any team? The Bulls would NEVER sign him. Bulls are better team without Ben Gordon. Anyone who knows anything about basketball knows that.
