Where has it been reported by a credible source that the Nuggets are holding out for Noah?

Has anyone ever thought that maybe Rose would rather have Noah than Melo. Through multiple reports this season sources have said he doesn't want other superstars and wants to be like Jordon

Where have you been my man? Every time you hear this issue come up of Anthony wanting to be traded. You hear that Knicks and Bulls are his top choices but "Bulls don't wanna include Noah so that isn't an option right now"... or something like that. I think if we offer Noah and Deng right now, they would except that trade.
As a Manager, you make that trade...
But as a fan? I don't want that trade. We don't need him that bad. We shouldn't bluff, If were not gonna offer Noah then we should come out and make it clear that we are not offering Noah so that the Nuggets know that Deng/Gibson+1st rounder if our final offer on the table......Because I think Nuggets are waiting for us to offer Noah and they think we will eventually break.

Is it just me or are the nuggets retards for maing this a 4 way deal. They should just take harris, favors and picks and rebuild. Trade Billups to a contender for a pick and let then rebuild next year with all their capspace after that.

if they have harris, the trade value for billups will be lower.
then again if they trade anthony, his trade valuer will diminish for the reason that teams will know that they're in rebuilding mode.

The Bulls should go after Billups...he will be cheaper too.

What makes you think the Nets make that deal without a commitment from Carmelo Anthony?

Why would the Bulls give a damn what Rose wants? He wants to be like Jordan? He will struggle to be Isiah Thomas. Once he reaches that plateau than maybe we can throw some other historic players at him in comparison. But right now, the best player on the team is Rose and that doesn't bode well for winning titles.

Rose has been quiet on this issue but I can tell, he will love to play with Melo. Melo will make him better and Rose's stats will rise. More than with Noah.

Noah doesnt demand the ball or shots to produce.

I dont know how good of a deal the Nuggets got. They got an unproven rookie, a streaky AK47 and a couple of picks. Eh?

AK is an expiring and Favors was a top 3 pick. If they get some unprotected firsts too its not bad. I'd just rather ahve harris then ak's expiring but they will have a ton of cap room too next year.

I actually like this idea. If they could somehow trade Deng for Billups, I would be stoked. Billups would easily serve as the back-up PG and serve as mainly a SG for Chicago. He would make the Bulls one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the NBA... Unfortunately, even though they have Ty Lawson... I sincerely doubt Denver parts with Billups...

Yeah, he just is incapable of producing offensively at a high level.
Obviously, not as high as Carmelo Anthony. But you gotta admit that he played great on both ends in that Cleveland series, last April.

Yes, he did. But that was one series...last year. Where was that over the 64 games he played last season? Last year he was 3rd among centers in rebounds, but he finished 19th among his league-wide counterparts in PPG, and that's after taking out the two guys ahead of him that played less than 50 games (Greg Oden and Anthony Tolliver). Even if we treat rebounding and scoring as equal-opportunity contributors towards winning (they aren't, scoring is more important [which is not to say that rebounding isn't important), you would have to stretch to make the case for him being in the top-10 in the league. Throw in a fudge factor for his defense and he's in the top-10 at his position....barely.
So then, here is a guy that we can safely assume is a top-10 player at his position, but only after he receives generous benefits from rebounding and defense, two things that aren't hard to find in the NBA. He's very good, but hardly elite or untouchable, and you unload him and a horrendous contract to get a top-10 NBA player every single day of the week and don't think twice about it. It's that simple.

My only reservation about putting Carmelo Anthony alongside Rose is that I do believe Rose has more upside as a player. Sometimes the development of young players, such as Rose, stalls once you get a player who is undeniably better. I really don't think Carmelo Anthony can be the Bulls' "best player" and compete with Miami or Oklahoma City, over the on-coming seasons, for championships.
I would love for the Bulls to trade for draft picks or young players, and make Rose the veteran leader of the Bulls - now that it seems like the Melo ship has sailed.
I would love the Bulls to get a low-post scoring/defending PF/C tweener in the draft some time in the up-coming seasons. Also, I'd love to see the Bulls find an off-ball threat three-point shooting 2-guard as a draft pick.

I doubt this Melo-to-NJN deal goes through.
New Jersey would be a pretty bad team, and Melo must realize that.

billups likes the ball in his hand. he's undersized and streaky. he can't really be an elite defender at the 2. Did i mention he's 34? Also we're not going to have cap space in the near future. if you're trading deng, it'd better be for some1 better and younger.
