I like the Bulls' picks (Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha) but would have loved to see them get help in the paint.
Maybe with all the $$ they have left over they can still sign someone on the free agent market.
One thing that hasn't been talked much about is the extra player the Bulls got in the Tyrus Thomas swap.
They pick up Viktor Khryapa, who actually isn't a bad player and might help the Bulls. He is a 6'9" PF who over two season at Portland averaged 11 pts, 8 rebs.
These same numbers have some people buzzing about Z. Ilgauskas or Chris Kaman, and as good as or better than Michael Sweetney averages (8/5), or than players such as John Salley or Drew Gooden averaged in their careers.
He's just an unknown because of where he plays.
