SouthSideTeacher Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 From CSN: http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/bulls-talk/...&feedID=627 At the same time, Noah's perceived regression on offense could fuel new-found rumors about the Bulls' willingness to engage Orlando in a potential deal to acquire Magic All-Star center Dwight Howard. Although Chicago didn't make his list of desired destinations, Magic general manager Otis Smith has a tough decision to make -- whether to trade Howard by the March 15 trade deadline or risk losing him in the offseason -- and the Bulls could have the right pieces to tempt him, as a more-than-serviceable center in Noah (it wouldn't hurt that fans of the University of Florida, where Noah won two national championships, would likely be less disappointed in losing Howard with the arrival of the former Gator), a top-five NBA small forward in Luol Deng (after LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Paul Pierce, is there a player at the position outright better than Deng, one of the league's best two-way talents?) and a young power forward in Gibson (paired with holdovers Glen Davis and Ryan Anderson, the Magic would have a solid frontline, even with Howard's departure) and a combination of the Bulls' coveted, currently-protected future first-round draft pick from Charlotte (acquired from the Bobcats in the Tyrus Thomas deal) and their own 2012 first-round pick, as well as potentially a role player like swingman Ronnie Brewer or the rights to 2011 draft choice Nikola Mirotic (though the Bulls are on high on the European prospect, who won't arrive in the NBA for at least another season or two, and ideally, wouldn't want to part with both him and Gibson), in exchange for Howard and possibly Hedo Turkoglu and his massive contract would have to at least intrigue him. Alright, I get it. Howard = GOD. But would we really have to trade ALL THIS just to get him? He is --after all-- ONE man. One season-ending injury and all we're left with is D.Rose and some Sunny D back in the fridge someplace behind the purple stuff. also, fun game to watch tonight. I knew Noah'd be back for Boston.

DBAHO Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Can't say I have much interest in Noah with what he's done this season. In the end, if the Magic do trade him, I think it'll be Bynum plus another young star player e.g Stephen Curry. Now obviously that would have to be a multi - team deal etc., but that's probably what the Magic end up looking for. Or more likely, they'll hang onto Howard for the rest of the season, and if he does leave in the off-season, they'll do a sign and trade deal.

DBAHO Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 FWIW, it sounds like Dwight is engaged to an aspiring singer from LA. Maybe that's a possible reason why Chicago doesn't interest him (thinking from the Carmelo scenario playing out again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that there was no training camp or off-season this year. This team just knows how to win. We'll see if that's still the case against the Heat int he playoffs though.
