ChWRoCk2 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 11:43 AM) If Tyrus Thomas is on this team on Friday, I'll organize the riot. I will f***ing lose it if the Bulls don't make a trade by the deadline. If we are getting any sort of picks and expiring contracts for Thomas by god hit the accept button Pax and Gar. LeBron won't go anywhere people, I don't see him going away from his hometown to play somewhere else so stop the speculation. On top of that following up MJs legacy is not something LJ will want to do imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that following up MJs legacy is not something LJ will want to do imo. I think Lebron's a lock for the Knicks. He likes the spotlight too much to pass up that opportunity. I'm just worried that the Knicks could also sign Chris Bosh as well if they can make a deal or two to shed some salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) That would decimate the Bulls chances to do anything this year. Most of the other deals that are being talked about bring back as many players as we would get, and would give us players that would probably not be hurt in a week. The Bulls priorities are the off-season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the first priority for sure, but nothing would be a bigger disaster than dumping a bunch of players, having a terrible second half, and then having a repeat of the 2000 off season, where everyone viewed the Bulls as a joke and signed with different teams. Then to top it off, the if the Bulls picked two guys from the third tier of players and tried to sell it like they did something good, we could punt on the second decade of the 21st century as well.

SoxFan1 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) Deng, Tyrus Thomas, and John Salmons for McGrady would work. I don't know if the Rockets have interest in that offer, but it would do wonders for the Bulls and if you got a 3rd team involved (for example, a team that wanted Tyrus Thomas), you could see the Rockets receive some draft picks and other stuff. The big issue is that I highly doubt the Rockets have any interest in Deng (since they have Battier and Ariza on the wing). Albeit, Deng is a superior all around player to both. Deng, Tyrus, and Salmons for TMac would be bad for this year, but it'd be an insane coup in regards to expiring money. The Bulls would have 23 coming off the book in TMac, 11 in Brad Miller, and another 6 in Jerome James. That's a s*** ton of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Sounds like Kahn said no to a Deng + Thomas for Jefferson trade. I can't say I really blame him, mostly because Deng wouldn't really solve the major problems we have with the roster right now. It should be interesting to see if Jefferson gets moved this offseason.

POSTED: Feb. 16 -- 3:51 p.m. ET Jefferson Chad Ford: The Wolves continue to rebuff teams looking into the availability of Al Jefferson. A source close to the process told ESPN.com that the Wolves recently said no to a potential Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas for Jefferson deal, telling the Bulls that they aren't going to move Jefferson by the trade deadline, which is consistent with what Wolves GM David Kahn has been saying for weeks. However, a Deng-and-Thomas deal was the most realistic trade scenario we've heard for Jefferson. Jefferson was one of the first big names to get mentioned in trade deadline buzz when word came out that the Pacers had rebuffed an offer of Jefferson for Danny Granger. Since then, Kahn has been adamant that he's not trading any member of his young core by the trade deadline. Kahn has maintained he wants an entire season to evaluate the talent he has on the roster. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?p...alkRoundup-2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta trade something to get something. You would own Bosh's bird rights, you get rid of Deng's salary in the process clearing the way for another max FA and you don't have to worry down the road paying 4 major guys as soon as 2011/2012. PG-Rose SG-Wade/Johnson SF-Who cares? PF-Bosh C-Asik You have three star players and could fill in the rest with draft picks and vets. Let's face it, the Bulls aren't going to pay Noah, Rose, Deng, and then another superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, but this gives you a much better chance of keeping him. Plus by doing that deal, the Bulls would still have money to add another big FA in the off-season anyway (at least if you are able to unload Salmons or Hinrich). The only tough part is you are giving up Noah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'd be shocked if the Raptors dealt Bosh over the next few days. That team could be the #4 team in the East with the way the Celtics are sliding come playoff time, and I think Bosh is more likely than not to stay there long-term.

Steve9347 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 That'd be a pretty money deal. We're at the tip of what I believe Noah will provide (not that I'm complaining). If you can get Bosh, you do it. He'll sign with the Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
