They wont be giving up Noah, just can end that dream now.

Noah played all-star level last season. He's hungry, he's a rebounding and assist-making machine at the 5. Would be a perfect replacement for Tyson. I'd build around him and THjr, with all that cap room coming after next season.

Can't see how Chicago gives him up unless we include Tyson, and then perhaps we can pry Butler or Gibson from them.

The main thing we want in the Melo->Bulls trade are those two picks. They represent an opportunity to add youth and cheap deals, possibly even contributors in such a stacked draft.

Stranger things have happened. I would be damned impressed if Phil could pull it off.

If Phil pulls it off I would immediately question if noah's foot is ok after his surgery. Noah is untouchable imo.

can I have some of that stuff you are drinking?

fitzfarm wrote:The more I think about it especially a sign and trade to bring back Lin, and draft picks. I really don't mind melo walking. I think thjr has super star written all over him. I'd love to see us move jr for a sf as well like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist who has a team option next year. And I think the hornets bit cause jr gives them a good second scorer which they were missing last year...a line up of Lin,thjr,m kg,amare,brags?... Don't want Tyson what so ever... 2015 could look like this... Lin,thjr,kawhi Leonard,Love,Marc gasol...sign amare for vet min,shump off the bench,or switch Lin with dragic... That team could go far even champ.. Also picks from melo s&t and Tyson trade.

What do you define as a superstar? Because by any conventional definition, THJr doesn't even come close. Beyond that, why would KG forego $12 million to join a lottery team? Why would Minnesota be dumb enough to let Kevin Love walk for nothing? And if we can't get him, why would Marc Gasol join a lottery team? How did Kawhi Leonard magically get onto our team and why would he leave a better team/organization for us? He's going to get paid either way, so why not pick the option with the bigger annual raises? None of what you've said makes sense.

really? I think you can count that out. I will argue that noah is a better basketball player than carmelo. The bulls would be nuts to do such a thing...

A perennial DPOY candidate center who racks up triple doubles as an assist machine(aka if one were to create the perfect 5 for today's style of small ball basketball, wouldn't Noah be what comes out of the lab)?

Yeah, not only is he better than Melo by several country miles but id also argue the Bulls wouldn't trade him for anyone who isn't named Lebron, Davis, or Durant. Noah is a helluva player.

I can also agree with that. Noah has impressed me over the years, at first I wasn't high on the kid, always respected his motor tho.. but his game has truly transformed and he leads by example. He is a unique player and one as you said you don't trade unless you are getting back a lebron or Durant...

he's a top 5 player in my opinion.
