What are the Chicago Bulls going to do with the #1 pick in next weeks NBA Draft? Are they going to draft PG Derrick Rose from Memphis or F Micheal Beasley from KSU? Or are they going to get both Rose and Beasley? You never thought of that huh? Also, are they going to resign Luol Deng or Ben Gordon or both of them?

| 24 | Thomas, Tyrus | F | 6-9 | 215 | 8/17/86 | 1 | LSU |
They could resign Gordon and Deng, but i see them packaging Tyrus Thomas with either Hinrich or Gordon for a veteran center. I would love for them to sign and trade Deng along with Tyrus Thomas and a future #1 for Beasley, so they could have what they really want.
There lineup could be PG Derrick Rose, SG Larry Hughes, SF Michael Beasley, PF Drew Gooden and C Joakim Noah. I don't see them trading Luol Deng, but anything could happen.
Are they going to sign G Chris Duhon, G Ben Gordon and F Luol Deng? Personally i think should only keep Luol Deng because he could be a superstar for years to come, unlike Ben Gordon who is nothing but a ball hog.
My pick in this draft would have to be G Derrick Rose from Memphis, I think he can turn into a Chris Paul of Deron Williams. Also, people think Kirk Hinrich is a PG, he isn't. His real position is SG and Ben Gordon is a SG as well. You don't get players like this every year. You do get Michael Beasley's every year, but the last time the Bulls selected a PG in the first round it was Jay Williams who crashed his bike and never really recovered.
Derrick Rose said "I would love to play here, “It’s a dream come true. You get to bring the Bulls back to where they’re supposed to be, hopefully, take it step by step and make progress.” He also said "Hands down Michael Beasley is the best player in the draft." Huh, why would you say this, you were the one who said you would faint if the Bulls selected you with the 1st pick.
I see the Bulls being playoff contenders in the East and i would love for them to get both Rose and Beasley. Why just settle for one of the two best players in this years draft. The Bulls should thank the basketball gods for the 1st pick in this years draft
Go Bulls!

Nice Work Jake. I actually love your idea of getting Beasley and Rose, but that seems like a long shot. I can see them drafting Rose, and attempting to move Hinrich/gordon for a big man...but I don't know many teams would want Hinrichs contract, or that many big men availaible for that matter.

I don't think there is any chance they get both Beasley and Rose, but that would be an unprecedented move!
