We've done good this season w/out Noah for most of it. If we were to give away Deng and Noah, it'd seem like we were just giving away Deng IMO. I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Thats probably why they are contacting the Bulls and Anthony has alot of interest going there because of the team we have right now. Of course leave to KC Johnson of the Tribune to shoot down anything and claim everything "unlikely". I dont think he has ever been right about the things he predicted, guys an idiot. Sorry needed to vent a little lol.

The Knicks will get him. Unfortunately, we're going to be used as a smoke screen to keep more options available with NY.

For all the times we all have just speculated the true possibility of adding him......
Here the opportunity arises. Now, I know we each have different trade ideas to get Melo. Though, have we thought about it much past a 2-Team Trade?
Yes, when the idea arose that it could have been a Nuggets/Bulls/76ers deal we saw the lack luster interest possibly from Denver. NOW, they are in a predicament cutting it closer and closer to Trade Deadline.
The chances to bring it into even a 4-Team Trade is also possible. I'm not gonna start to raddle off teams that may or may not work well with the situation. I do believe that this can happen, & happen quick. Here we see Worldwide Wes has re-emerged into the whole "bringing a superstar to Chicago" pitch. Being that he is on Thibs side & Melo's this is good news.
The classic question still remains........'Can GarPax get this done'?

Does anyone think that Anthonys agents are using the Bulls as leverage for the Knicks to up the ante on their deal?

Ya know, with Boozers health history it is really risking giving up Taj. His defense is real good as is his rebounding and he randomly has these games where he shows his scoring potential. But if you have the chance to trade Deng, Taj and picks for Melo, you do it. Maybe it doesnt earn you a title this year. But when you have a chance to add a couple pieces in the off-season, it puts you right there with anyone in the league.

I'd bet money on it. They were using the Nets for exactly the same thing, but shit got real with the Nets so they had to change the team.

I don't think the Bulls have the pieces to get it done no matter what, even if Melo wanted to come here. The Knicks are both his preferred destination and can make the best bid. But lets suspend disbelief for a second ...
I don't get the obsession with trying to move Deng and Taj in the deal. A 3/4 rotation of Melo/Boozer/Scalabrine? Yuck.
Far better to try to find a third team to take Boozer, and run a rotation of Deng/Melo/Taj. IMO if the Bulls were to get involved a deal like Boozer to Indiana, Paul George + Dunleavy's expiring plus whatever picks from the Bulls to the Nuggets, Carmelo to the Bulls makes the most sense.
Indiana get a PF they desperately need for an expiring and a young player who is stuck behind their franchise guy, Denver get a cheap young player who plays Melo's position and a bunch of picks with no long term salary taken on, Bulls get to keep their depth.
Now whether Indiana actually want to take on salary rather than just let Dunleavy expire, who knows. And I still don't think Denver take that deal over the Knicks deal, but it makes a lot more sense for them than taking on Deng.

I was hoping for Melo in the off season, but I don't think it's a door that's going to open for the Bulls. Noah is a guy that the Bulls need, and they're a lot of shots on this Bulls team already. I think the Bulls need another scorer on the perimeter but unfortunately for Bulls fans it won't be Anthony.
Looking at the Melo situation from a different perspective, I think it's clear Melo want to play for the Knicks, and the Nuggets would be foolish not to trade him there by the deadline. The Knicks don't have superstars to offer, but Chandler and Gallinari are nice young cheap players the Nuggets can aquire. Not to mention, they could probably turn Randolph and Mozgov into late first round picks at least. Another bonus for the Nuggets is the ability to get rid of the four years left on Harrington's deal. It sucks to have a trade a superstar player, but they don't have a choice in the matter long term.

The difference in value between players traded to cover a salary gap. It lasts 1 year, and can be used to offset future trades.
Team A trades Joe who gets 4 million a year, for Team B's Jack, who gets 3 million. Team A ends up with 1 million in Trade Exemption.
So later when Team A wants a player that costs 1 million more in trade value, they use the TE to offset the difference legally.
