NBA questions with the deadline approaching – Part 3
Can somebody score for the Toronto Raptors?
The Toronto Raptors are having troubles when it comes to guys scoring for them this is mainly due to the departure of their star player in Chris Bosh who was recently been traded to the Miami Heat during in the summer. Currently, Andrea Bargnani is leading
the Toronto Raptors in the department of scoring maintaining an average of 21 points per game. Though this average is good but considering the fact that he is the only one coming up with most points puts the Toronto Raptors in a tough position.
What the Toronto Raptors need is some other players to take charge and start to score so as to ease the pressure on Bargnani and also to ensure that the Toronto Raptors make it into the play-off cut. The Raptors lack quite a lot when it comes to low post
shooting. Things don’t look good coupled with continuous injuries that the Raptors come across regularly.
Chris Bosh was the key man of the Raptors who played a vital role as a low post scorer at times. The Raptors have been hurt quite a lot due his departure. Currently, they are one of the weakest teams in the NBA who maintain a disappointing record of 13 wins
and 33 losses. The disappointing part of the story is that Toronto Raptors can’t do anything about it as no player of can fill up with gap that Chris Bosh left.
All Toronto Raptors can do is wait for the lottery pick in this year’s draft pick at the end of this season and hope that they have a chance to pick a strong player.
Will Chicago Bulls continue to deliver?
The Chicago Bulls are playing quite well though they have some of the positions vacant. The Chicago Bulls currently have no shooting guard but the players have been able to cope up with the pretty well and in doing so have come up with some decent performances
bagging victories regularly.
Derrick Rose has emerged as a strong player in the NBA this season and the level of consistency that he has shown has led to some saying that he is probably better than Chris Paul. Derrick Rose has impressed many with the diversity in his game that he offers
and maintains a healthy average of 24 points per game. The whole Chicago Bulls team has combined pretty well during the course of the season so far which has enabled them to be in the second spot in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago Bulls are another one of the teams that doesn’t need any chances but if they come up with a decent shooting guard, then their chances of making it into the NBA Finals would get a great boost. The question that arises is that who are the likely players
they would pursue?
Well the most strongest and likely player to be approached by the Bulls is Memphis Grizzlies, O.J Mayo. If not him then the next option is Denver Nugget’s J.R Smith and last but not the least, Anthony Parker of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
One of the main reasons as to why the Bulls would resent any additions to the squad is the fact that they wouldn’t want to lose any of their current players. All of the players have proven their worth so far and the weakest link out of this is the guard
is Kyle Krover who by far is better from all the three mentioned players. Therefore, there is a slight chance that Chicago Bulls might go on the hunt for some players but not at the cost of trading any of their own players.
