LaMarcus Aldridge drafted number two

[firefighter21ish]

DRAFT BUST OF THE MILENIUM

[IVEGOTBIGD33]

@firefighter21ish Are you joking?this dude is gettin 20 and 10 evernight you fucking retard

[OMGxJayBee]

Whats wrong with you guys. If the bulls got LA they WOULDNT have got derrick rose. They wouldve won more games with Aldridge

[Habeev07]

BTW. LA got the last laugh becauce i hear he made NBA 3rd Team!!!!!!!!!! only 15 players in the whole leauge get those awards. less than go to the allstar game. So in my eyes the NBA got it right and gave him that knowing the votes are flawed. LA is a the ultimate weapon. His touch around the hoop along with his strength and tenacity allow him to be Dirk Blake and Pau all in one. remember that playoffs commercial? 7'5" wingspan raking boards!!!!!!!! ODEN 2012!! GO BLAZERS!! 503!

[SmoothMM]

Tyrus Thomas wasn't a bad selection for the Bulls: he was coming into his own before they traded him. But Lamarcus Aldridge is a better talent.

[Akronsfinest21]

4 years before 2006 it was jay Williams that went 2nd overall by the bulls in 2002

[33Preston33]

Hey... we gave you guys Jordan on a SILVER PLATTER! What else do you want? LOL

[NiNtenBricK]

@33Preston33 worst part, youre not joking one bit..

[SevenShahanshah]

UGH!!! That whole year I kept talking about how sweet it would be if the Bulls could draft Aldridge. I thought he was the next Chris Bosh. Too bad we traded him for that piece of crap Tyrus Thomas.

[rmathew2]

@SevenShahanshah haha lol, who knew LaMarcus would turn that mid range jumper into being almost automatic for him.

[mafiakev]

Rose + Noah + Aldridge = 5 RINGS

[maplestoryisthebestr]

@mafiakev with Aldridge, rose may not be even draft to chicago.

[lawtownstarz]

wow imagine rose and LMA.

[Jspang16]

@lawtownstarz honestly if the bulls kept Lemarcus we prlly would of never got DROSE because Lemarcus prlly would of led the bulls to the playoffs in the 08 season thus taking the bulls out of the lottery race

[jeffreybiderpdee]

haha what a stupid ass move by the Bulls. I realize they have boozer now but fuck bulls got Tyrus Thomas HAHAHAHA

Go Blazers

[k1mochi]

FUCK! The raps should have drafted him

[Daniel17g418]

Way to go bulls. Thank god they didnt do this in Derricak rose's case

[big14black]

Imagine this Aldridge, Noah, & Rose playin for The Bulls. That's a dynasty

[RaulForPresident]

hahah lol thomas for aldridge

[saywhat923]

That was a bad trade

[statecapital]

BULLS SMH JUST SMH

[Habeev07]

Western Conference Power Forward Efficieny rating. im listing in order the most efficient All-Star candidates. Love 28.9, Griffin 26.1, Gasol 26.1, Novvitzki 24.7, Aldridge 22.0, Millsap 21.4, Duncan 20.2, West 20.2, Jefferson 20.2.

I vote LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE because hes on a winning team in the WEST! and 3rd in the NBA in Dunks Off Rebs. Also has 20 double doubles for 6th in leauge, L-TRAIN COME A BLAZIN!!!!

[banginbangali25]

They said Aldridge had to get stronger... He is now 260 pounds of muscles. All Star season coming up.

[GoldGodzilla]

Tyrus thomas is shit compared to Lamarcus! Go Blazers!!

[nuggz503]

Aldridge for Thomas, Pritchard is a freakin genius

[sepin2]

andre miller

[aqautoparts]

Bulls F'd up LMA is way better then Ty Thomas, But Ty Thomas has more to give in the future, But might not be as good

[saywhat923]

@aqautoparts Huh?

[jlhorns07]

haha gave him a Longhorns hat.. that a boy!

[statusmvp]

tyrus thomas is a good player...chicago is jus the wroing team for him

[SacredEdge]

Haha, I bet the Bulls are regretting trading him.

[helpma1234]

@SacredEdge no...not really now the bulls have boozer an even better PF

[MisterBinx]

@helpma1234 fail.

[helpma1234]

@MisterBinx the bulls have great chemistry with boozer while he averages almost a double double per night, he's a better rebounder and I bet if the Bulls would've gotten LaMarcus they wouldn't be near productive as they are now. Is LaMarcus a great PF? Yeah, but I feel Boozer is a better fit in Chicago, Boozers most important game is he's a beast in the post and the elbow, while also getting rebounds which is one of the most important stat for the bulls, O rebounds means second chance points.

[MisterBinx]

@helpma1234 The only legit argument Bulls fans have now is that they might not have ended up with Rose. Which is one I agree with, so it worked out. Boozer is not better than Aldridge anymore. Aldridge used to get owned by Boozer, not anymore.

[helpma1234]

@MisterBinx I'm not saying Boozer is better than Aldridge in anyway, im just saying I feel Boozer is a better fit. LaMarcus is a great PF in Portland and I'm glad he wasn't traded away from them this year, but I feel the Bulls have better chemistry with Boozer. But I would agree Aldridge is a better PF all around, but I think boozer will do for the Bulls with his assets that he's better at ex.Rebounding

[combatkicker]

@SacredEdge blazers could of gotten michael jordan

[MisterBinx]

@combatkicker So could the rockets.

[tofutoph]

Toronto passed on both Aldridge and Roy for bargani. Foye, Thomas for Roy, Aldridge = changed the Blazers forever!

[williamsshane92]

Historic night for my Blazers. This is what started the new dynasty in the NBA.

[goldleader64]

How can you call them a new dynasty when they haven't even made the playoffs yet? Don't put the cart before the horse.

[helpma1234]

@williamsshane92 well...he wont be a blazer for long

[pimpsoldier0]

Lmao sucks for bulls. Thomas even skips practice LMAO

[1stindadraft]

i just started to watch this guy game this year hes a mix between sheed and kg

[21shabudin]

this makes me hate barganini even more

[Tblaze79]

Blazers stole Aldridge..

[paternagnstuser]

Thomas is athletic, he'll give you some sick dunks and blocks...but he lacks basketball knowledge. Thomas didnt start playing organized basketball till he was a junior in high school.

[lcgroves11191]

Tyrus sucks, he should of stayed in college. Aldridge is averaging 17ppg and 7rpg this season, in his first full season in the NBA. You guys can compare them all day, in the end Aldridge will be a all star and win many championships. and long term thomas is better? How? what have you seen? omfg, thomas is terrible.

[calvin3546]

chicage should have got brandon roy instead of thomas

[qtip215]

texas has all the good players

[Stiffler199]

the bulls got ripped thomas will never be as good as aldridge

[Underdog009]

oh yeah dnt 4get

lamarcus aldridge = junior

tyrus thomas= freshman

aldridge is NBA ready

Thomas needs time

[Underdog009]

give thomas some time. the bulls dont give him enough playing time. i mean thomas has alot of potential just watch.

i mean lamarcus iz ma favorite player nd so is thomas . watch they gonna shine

[psakai]

Thomas might be better in the long term if he actually had a good work ethic. But every1 knows now that he probably has the poorest work ethic on the bulls. While LaMarcus keeps working hard every summer. That is why LaMarcus is better now, and will be better in the long term.

[awadh1234567890]

i think in the long term thomas is better

[jaycenano]

if bulls kept aldridge, they could have a better line up right now... bulls dont have a solid power forward, to help ben wallace inside the paint... tyrus is more of a wing guy'

pg hinrich

sg gordon

sf deng

pf aldridge

c wallace

that could be better'

[coolguysjohnvu]

despite me bein bulls fan, i woulda kept lamarcus

[jkrall47]

Thomas is the better athlete, but he has no jump shot or post moves. Aldridge is clearly the better 2 way player. Its really not even close.

[DoubleHelix22]

Aldridge and Thomas are both going to be stars. Aldridge doesn't do anything spectacular, just all-around solid. His post game will open up the floor, and he's a decent shot blocker because of his height.

Thomas is a freak of nature. Just search Tyrus Thomas on YouTube and prepare to be amazed. And this is just his rookie year playing limited minutes on a contender.

Aldridge will develop into a Tim Duncan with a little more cockiness. Thomas is Amare Stoudemire with more hops.

[dashit503]

sike.

[flclfanman]

Tyrus is earning his keep now, playing with the TEAM. Look at aldridge and the blazers now...

[dart125]

LaMarcus all the way... Aldridge is having such a better season than Tyrus is.

[jtlive2006]

look at the teams they r on. HUGE difference. Tyrus will be the better player in 2-3 years.

[dashit503]

no look. tyrus hasnt done any thing spectacular. aldridge has more minutes cause hes better. tyrus can do nothing except dunk and maybe dunk.

[dumdumdesign]

the bulls musta want a player with good defense to help Big Ben out. I think they have enough scorers on the team. However, I reckon Aldridge is better than Thomas

[RequiemForABuckeye]

Aldridge is playing amazing. Once he gains another 20 lbs. he'll be an all-star.

[hookemhorns]

lamarcus is much better than tyrus thomas. unlike thomas la actually has a jump shot. you have to be a fucking lsu homer to believe that thomas is better than aldridge. i guess stromile swift is better than garnett too. dumbass.

[TGoody9]

not even close...lamarcus has better numbers this season in comparison to tyrus but that is widely due to the situations both players are in with their teams. Even with that, when tyrus plays, his energy and presence is felt much more than when lamarcus plays. Tyrus has no fear on either end of the floor while lamarcus still carries that soft label. Tyrus will be the better player for the years to come. Smart move by the Bulls.

[krnboyee]

jtlive HAHA nice try aldridge is MUCH better

[jtlive2006]

goldenapple91, tyrus is crazier and will be a better player than aldridge in yrs to come.

[pimpjunior23]

nah jtlive2006 aldridge is better 17 points and 7 boards a game

[jtlive2006]

yea now i know, i said that last season.

[pimpjunior23]

i know cus tyrus sucks

[jtlive2006]

no way man aldrige is good and might be better, but you have to wait to say tyrus is bad.

[pimpjunior23]

i think hes gonna be like 6 points a game 7 boards and 0.1 assist

[jtlive2006]

no way.

[goldenapple91]

I can't believe the Bulls wanted Tyrus more than this guy. Aldridge can play both ends of the floor while Thomas can only play defense.
