Chicago Bulls + Dwight Howard & J-Rich vs. Miami Heat

[Chicagolove]

Say by next year, we get J-Rich and Dwight Howard. We get Dwight by trading Noah, Boozer, Asik, a first round pick and a second round pick.

PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Luol Deng
PF: Taj Gibson
C: Dwight Howard

That line-up would win 65-70 games in the regular season. How would they fair vs. The Miami Heat?

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

The Magic would demand Luol Deng in that deal.

They wouldn't be able to afford Luol Deng

They won't be able to afford Boozer+Noah either. At least Deng has an expiring contract coming off the books in a few short years... all those players have big deals and Noah and Boozer have the most years.

You know...I wouldn't have a problem including Deng in a deal in the offseason. I thought he was the prime example of overachieving this season on the Bulls.

Bulls give: Deng, Noah, Boozer add Taj and Asik if needed.
Orlando gives: Howard and Arenas.

To me, everything is on the table except Rose. Look at what happened when Wade and "old" Shaq teamed up.

 

[BigP50]

82-0

 

[AE23]

give em Boozer, Asik, 2 first rounders, maybe a 2 rounder

**** no, i dont want Arenas and his contract near DRose

 

[Rush]

Honestly don't see Chicago putting together some ridiculous deal for any superstar. Tops, I see us packaging our two 1st round picks for a 2 guard.

He could be the scoring 2 guard beside Rose. Orlando would love to get rid of that contract, as we would with Boozer.

 

[AE23]

i wouldnt do it, he has a bigger contract than DHoward, and thats the guy we want.

 

[AE23]

maybe if they threw in Hedo

 

[AE23]

the Magic have a lotta money in their books, this trade can happen

We'll have to swap a bad contract somewhere.

Either Arenas or Turkoglu.
or else this

Bulls get Arenas Howard Turkoglu
Magic get Noah Boozer Deng Watson Korver

FYI We would not be able to acquire Jason Richardson in a trade, he is a free agent when this season ends.

Either Arenas or Turkalu.

I know just throwing that tidbit for the forum readers, just so it's clear.

no prob, I dont think this should be that hard, look what the Lakers gave up for Gasol back then, the Nets for Deron Williams, the Knicks gave up all that cuz their the Knicks,.

Why would you trade for Arenas??!!!! SMH

You have to balance the salaries out. People on here just think the Bulls can trade Boozer for Howard. Poof. It doesn't work like that, we may have to give up 3 pieces (Deng, Noah, Boozer) if Orlando wants to trade Howard. The Bulls could use Arenas as the 2 guard. Just sayin.

 

[AE23]

Boozer
Deng, matches up

Howard
Turkoglu

Bulls have 2 1st rounders this year
The one next year
and a if need be a 2nd rounder, either this year or next
