Default Bulls finally got rid of Wallace!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bulls traded Ben Wallace away today in a 3 way trade with Seattle & Cleveland......


Cavs get: Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Joe Smith, Delonte West
Bulls get: Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Ced Simmons, Shannon Brown
Soncis get: Adrian Griffin, Ira Newble, Donyell Marshall

I like it, I love it give me some more of it!

Finally we dont have to watch Wallaces lazy ass anymore. That means we get to see more Noah, Tyrus & Gray!!!!!!!!!!!

Im glad that we got rid of Ben Wallace for sure he is on the downswing and bitter.As I would like to see Joakim and Tyrus play alot more too find out exactly what we have for the future with those two fellas.Now then I dont understand how this trade really improves anything except maybe chemistry.But Im not sure on that either because Gooden and Hughes are hoodlums!Lets see does it give us more cap space to make a move? No it doesnt it makes it WORSE.Does this trade help our future? Somewhat getting Joakim and Tyrus spots on the floor more,but Drew Goodn and Cedric Simmons both are posts as well! So the position is a logjam although I know Simmons will sit on the bench or inactive list,what about Drew Gooden he is semi-decent player he is not just gonna rot away on the bench right??? Now Shannon Brown has a wee bit of potential a smaller not as good version or even close to a s good version of 'Melo this is only in comparing styles not TALENT! And finally Larry Hughes has never been a winner anywhere he went! So why do we want him he is a 6'5 waste of talent b/c he doesnt care if he wins or loses.Honestly this trade doesnt make ANY sense.Bulls fans or anybody who knows what the Chicago side of this trade is help me out please.Looks like Cleveland,and Seattle achieved obvious goals.Cleveland getting players around Lebron...and Seattle trying to clear cap space for when they move from Seattle. Chicago I have no idea???:ro lleyes:

Bulls 1st game without Wallace produces a 135-121 win over the Denver Nuggets...............I rest my case.........

That speaks nothing of the matter GNK and you know it...it was first game back from the All-Star break and the Nuggets underestimated them since they just made a huge trade and there record is mediocre at best.I mean they let J.R.Smith score 40+ points last night thats right JR smith not Melo or A.I. let me say it one more time J.R. SMITH I reat my case

What will you say when we beat the Rockets tomorrow night?

I know it was 1 game, but also keep in mind Smith was chucking.

Bulls record is bad, but like I said before they will make the playoffs and cause havoc for whoever they play. This season is almost chalked up as a loss so they have nothing to lose. Gordon is playing for a huge contract so that makes him dangerous, I wouldnt be surprised to see him go for 30 ALmost every night here on out.

Mark my words we are a much better team and that doesnt even depend on Hughes or Gooden seeing a sniff of playing time. Wallace was a cancer and now he's gone...........

I am a Bulls fan since I was like 6 years old do you think I dont believe i them??? If so your crazy...Im just saying I dont understand how the trade really benifited our team compared to the others! Getting rid of Ben Wallace is a plus definitely,but all we recieved in return is a couple of mediocre at best players,although Hughes swears up and down he is better than his carrer stats and his play in Cleveland,and we got Shannon Brown and Cedric Simmons a couple of bodies to fill the bench out LMAO.And I do believe they'll be the 8th seed in the east as I have already made a post considering a bet with a lad who doubts my bulls will make the playoffs.So dont say I dont believe my friend.Just dont understand why we didnt get a bit more for giving away Joe Smith and Ben Wallace and Mr.Chris Duhon whom i liked as a backup PG he can be explosive @ times

You guys may be happy to get rid of Big Ben, but nobody is happier than Cleveland to have Hughes gone. You would think being able to play with Lebron would be a plus but he never produced here in C-town.

The only part of the trade I wasnt really happy with was the Cavs giving up Gooden. I know many that don't like him but he plays hard every night and is a pretty good inside player

To get rid of Wallace and to acquire Gooden in exchange is huge IMHO. Besides the fact that Duhon hasnt seen the light of day the last 2 games since the trade makes it even better.

So in retrospect we traded Wallace, Smith & Griffin for this:

Playing time for Joakim Noah & Tyrus Thomas. Less playing time for Chris Duhon. Acquired a able bodied big man (Drew Gooden). I'd say the Bulls got much more than Ben Wallace was worth.........

oh GNK what happened to our Bulls beating the Rockets eh? Just as I told you they would lose too themand they got crushed in crunch time.Also most of the Bulls were upset secretly that Big Ben was traded,but I dont know why,but the chemistry there has taken a toll for the worst.Lots of talented players,that all play out of position and no defined roles,along with 0 clutch prime time players
