daa84 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 i would have to imagine that the portland deal proposed above or the heat deal above would be better deals to take than anything the bulls could offer....with the heat, i guess they don't want marion back, at least not at his salary, but beasley would be a perfect block for them.....and portland i would think aldridge would be very appealing plus a pick or two...i guess the bulls can maybe offer a better package, with more quantity of players, at more affordable price, but i think the top end talent is better in the other two offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I do not see Portland offering up Aldridge, he is younger and maybe wont be as dominant as Amare at times, but he is pretty damn good and doesnt have the big knee injury on his resume either.

Yes. The slate will be wiped clean in my book. The boycott would be over and i'd be jazzed about this team's chances for the future. As for this Portland to Phoenix talk, they've already openly stated they are not trading Aldridge. Edited February 7, 2009 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Rumor of Heat talking about dealing Marion for Tyson Chandler. Maybe they can somehow ship off Dwyane Wade for Peja Stojakevic in the same deal and just completely finish off any hopes of a great rebuilding system.

Balta1701 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Man, Amare's numbers have really taken a dive this season now that I look at them. Scoring down from 25 last year to 20 this year, 1 less rebound per game, 1 less block per game, 0.6 more turnovers per game, and that's in more minutes than last year as well. Either he's not the same player once you take him out of the SSOL offense or something's catching up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost wiped clean. It's not like he's acquiring two HOF players at once. He would view much better upon in my book. The Bulls are going hard after Amare though.

The Suns have been in Salary cap hell for years, and it's arguably why they haven't won several titles (trading away their #7 pick in 2004 for nothing, giving up Kurt Thomas for nothing, giving up Joe Johnson) and on and on. That's a potential asset on the Bulls side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can without crossing in to luxury tax territory. I think they need to wait for Hughes's contract to expire to do that.

They don't feed him the ball much downlow, Porter has phased him out of the offense and it is now ran through Shaq. With that, you have an unmotivated Amare who just looks around because he doesn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The Bobcats traded swingmen Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown to the Lakers on Saturday in exchange for Vladimir Radmanovic. Morrison and Brown aren't likely to see more than spot minutes for the Lakers, and shouldn't be worth owning in most leagues. The addition of Radmanovic bolsters the Bobcats thin frontcourt, though the return of Gerald Wallace (lung, ribs) will soon diminish his value. Forgot Morrison was in the league.

Vinny knows what type of offense he wants to use, Amare is perfect for that offense, there is no one for Amare that he has to defer to, and he wants to play in a big city because of his rap label and other enterprises.

whitesoxbrian Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 So it'd probably be Noah, Thomas, Hinrich, and our 1st either next year or the year after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha I didn't realized Shannon Brown was still in the league either. It's easy to forget players on the Bobkats. "my "see" letter isn't working, or the letter between B and D.

Brian Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) That was b**** defense by Kidd on that Rose drive. No fould called when he clearly looked to intentionally under cut him as he went to the basket. Other angle showed Kidd was going for the strip, but he still undercut him and should of been a foul.

Brian Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Now they call a foul on Noah as he is boxing out on a Dirk miss. Both guys are grabbing each other. Should of been a no call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
