    "Yeah, we can play together. I don’t mind having him create for me and giving me open jump shots. I’ll take that all day long because I know he’ll be the same way. Everybody talks about these things, it’s the same way with my height. (Williams was officially measured at 6’1 ¾” with shoes over the weekend.) I’m like, Allen Iverson is around 5’11 and Isiah Thomas is 6-foot. I’m taller than all these guys and I’m stronger than all these guys. My height’s not a problem."

    Yo gb,

    I actually heard a rumor floating around that Crumbs was pretty high on Dunleavy and was discussing a possible trade where he drafted J-Will and traded him to GS for Dunleavy and ????. You heard anything?

    I seriously doubt this is legit, but have heard it mentioned. Wondered if it made the airwaves in Chicago.

    Jay Williams should go to the Bulls, that would be a pretty cool team. If Chandler and Curry live up to there potential then this team could win alot of Championship in a few years.

    Theres another rumor that GS will give him the 30th pick in the draft to swap positions with him. He'd then take Caron Butler and use the picks to pay off his debt to Houston.

    The only rumor that should be going around Chicago is what jersey Williams will wear.

    Williams is such a perfect fit for the Bulls it's scary.

    After the draft, all the Bulls will need is time and experience.

    Fyi, this rumor cannot be true. Chicago's debt to Houston is for a first rounder until 2004. After 2004, then it becomes 2 second rounders. Though it is possible, as always, for the Rockets to accept the 2 #2s this year to forgive the debt. They'd be better than other picks we'll get from Chicago a few years from now, I'm sure. But, we can't really use all those picks and probably would need to trade them away again.

    JV,

    The Rocks could use the picks :) Since second round picks do not have guaranteed contracts, the Rocks could draft a player with big upside that should have waited to be drafted another year (like HSer DeAngelo Collins or Jamaal Sampson) and send him to Europe for two years or more for seasoning. If the pick ever become NBA ready, the Rocks can bring him back to The States.

    This move won't cost the Rocks a penny and might pay off years down the road if the pick gets NBA game.

    Actually, I extrapolated what Krause would do with the picks.

    Thanks.
