Portland's gonna pick Nathan Jawai. Remember? One of their scouts came onto the forum and told us themselves.
As for Chicago's options.. you forgot about the free agency and trade factors. The chances of Chicago re-signing Deng and Gordon are very slim. I'd like to see it happen but it probably won't. The most likely situations are the Bulls re-signing Deng and drafting Rose. Or re-signing Gordon and drafting Beasley, as many people pointed out before. I'd like to see them draft Rose because they already have a PF whose yet to hit his prime. (Tyrus Thomas) But then they'd probably get rid of Hinrich. If the Bulls manage to sign both Deng and Gordon to possibly multi-year contracts, they'll have a young, solid front line:
PG - Derrick Rose
SG - Ben Gordon
SF - Luol Deng
PF - Tyrus Thomas
C - Joakim Noah
Throw in some decent reserves such as Gooden, Hughes and Sefolosha and you have a real talented squad.
After all, I recall the last time the Bulls drafted a guard who wore #23 it worked out in their favor, no?
