I know you guys hate my Noah trade but whatevs, YOLO, get over it, ect...
Derrick Rose
Kyle Korver
Trevor Ariza
Zach Randolph
Omer Asik
Sixth Man: Jamal Crawford
We hate it because you didnt trade him to us.
I'm on the fence on this team. On paper it looks like it'll be a tough team to beat. But Rose looks like he's having "recurring" knee issues and he's the only guy I see who can make plays for others. Well, Jamal can but doesnt normally do it.
Z-Bo will be solid in and out, and the defense is there. Korver is a very good team defender, he won't shut down anyone, but he knows his spots. Ariza and Asik can hold their own.
Of course you can still grab a PG in the next rounds, trade for one (wink, wink). It's a strong team. But it's as strong as Derrick Rose's ability to stay on the court. I think Noah couldve been a better fit, as he can play inside out with Randolph.
Without Rose, I think they are IRL Chicago but with a little less scoring. Will play tough, hard nosed D and will be tough to score against. But once Crawford and ZBo get's checked good, will have a tough time scoring either.
