Dear Paxson: Get Gilbert

Dear John Paxson,

Get Gilbert Arenas. Gilbert Arenas is expected to opt out of his contract this summer to get max money. I know he is coming off of knee surgery this year, but he is an all-star player that the Bulls haven't had since 98. Gilbert will give you 28ppg and 5apg. He also loves taking the final shot and usually makes it. He has that kill that no one on the Bulls has. He doesn't shy away from taking that clutch shot. Washington will most likely want a sign and trade, so take Hughes and Gordon and trade them for Arenas. Now you have Kirk Hinrich, Gilbert Arenas, Luol Deng(If Signed), Drew Gooden, Joakim Noah. That's a squad. You would have Nocioni and Tyrus Thomas coming off the bench to provide that spark. I've seen so many ideas for the Bulls next year, but I really think this one has a legitimate chance of happening, depending on John Paxson's mood. I also don't see Boylan in the Bulls future plans, and it looks like Carlisle is the front runner for the job. So John, think about this deal and get the Bulls back to being a contender.

Sincerely,

Bulls Weekly
