whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Would the Bulls make that move if they were expecting to whiff on the relevant 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Kaplan reports that the Bulls have a trade in place to for Luol Deng to Portland for Bayless + Pryzbilla. Kaplan's actually going on a Portland radio station. @thekapman - If the rumors I heard about the Bulls agreeing to trade Deng to Portland for Przybilla + Bayless are true they have a FA in the fold? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Pryzbilla will make $7.4 million this year, contract expires after this next season. Bayless makes $2.2 million. We would save about $2 million in the process. if we are like 4 mil under 2 max FA's then why would we do this deal if we are going to be still a few mill over what we need to be at?

HuskyCaucasian Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 @thekapman - Portland radio show I was just on also heard rumors regarding Deng. They heard increased talk about Chris Paul being traded to Portland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? I would think so, and I HATE that Kaplan is going around reporting this. Bulls supposedly might have a couple trades for Deng locked up. I hope Kaplan doesn't screw it all up. And yes I would love the deal cause I'm a huge Bayless fan as a backup PG. Incredible potential. Probably the 2nd or 3rd most athletic PG in the NBA.

Real Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 People still reporting that Bosh doesn't want to play in Cleveland And it's damn near a certainty that LeBron isn't leaving Cleveland unless it's through a sign and trade, he wants that max money and we don't have anything we can send to Cleveland AFAIK One common theme amongst all 3 of these guys, they all want max money and the hold up is: THEY CAN'T FIND A TEAM THAT HAS A PACKAGE THAT SATISFIES THEIR CURRENT TEAM This is what I'd bet money on causing the delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I think saving the two extra million might mean the Bulls would have room for 2 full boats if they traded Gibson and Johnson for Bosh. Or even Noah and somebody for Bosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 @PDcavsinsider - According to exec familiar with Raptors thinking, TOR undecided on what type of sign-&-trade to look for if they participate w/ Bosh. Exec said TOR going back-and-forth on whether they want to try a total rebuild or attempt to get veterans that can help more immediately. A factor here may be that GM Bryan Colangelo has just one year left on his contract. So, point is, nothing close to firm w/Bosh right now.

SoxAce Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) This rumor has been around for a couple of days now. It doesn't matter, especially when "rumors" can be easily shot down. (I.E. Gortat/Pietrus for Deng.. all we know that is still on the table) We don't need idiots like Kaplan banking his "sources" on deals when the Bulls FO has been tightly lipped about the whole situation.

Real Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Best possible scenario for Chicago: Lebron stays in Cleveland, Bosh goes to Houston, Wade comes to Chicago in a sign and trade (Do they have need for a Noah, or Gibson?), and we sign Boozer At that point, do you think we could afford Ray Allen? There's your shooter, would be a pimp roster, hopefully Taj Gibson would be all they'd need, since we would need Noah at C Edited July 6, 2010 by Real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) The Bulls best case scenario really is Bosh to anywhere but Miami. Ideally here though. Edited July 6, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though he is more of a proven commodity despite the injury issues and has better character) Noah trumps anything Miami can offer, but the Bulls won't do it.
