Chris Bosh or Joakim Noah

[jayswagger]

It seems like it's going to come down to will the Bulls trade Noah for Chris Bosh. This might be the only option to make all this come together. If you get Bosh then you probably get either LeBron or D-Wade.

On the Chance that you make the trade but don't get Lebron or wade is it really worth sacrificing Joakim? Or is this going to turn out like the Luol Deng for Kobe trade situation?

I love Joakim.... BUT if the Bulls don't make this trade I expect him to be a TOP 3 center in the NBA and anything less would be a massive disappointment!!!!

This has been the conundrum all off-season. Now I would trade Noah if it nets you Bosh but we better damn well have a deal in place for another Center or we're screwed. Bosh has been adamant about not playing Center, which he wouldn't with Noah in place, no other team courting him can claim that. But it's also Bosh's decision & if he tells them "Hey I want the Bulls or I leave for nothing" (as crazy as that sounds) then the Raps better get what they can for him.

his value is going to go down drastically. he's about to sign an extension.

Unless we are 100% sure that Bosh gets us Wade or LBJ, don't trade Noah.

Noah + Boozer/Lee is better than Bosh + scrub center.

If we can get LeBron or Wade I think Noah is more important than Bosh, we'd have two big time scorers already, a defensive center is worth more than a third scorer.

If we had to get Bosh to convince Wade or LeBron to come, and we had to give up Noah to get Bosh, what choice do we have but to give him up? I don't think it'll come to that though.

I'm inclined to agree with Shakes.

I don't really know if the salaries matches up but i was thinking since Turkoglu wants out of Toronto, the Raptors might take Deng on a sign-n-trade for Bosh so Bosh would get the max contract that he wants so bad and we'd still have enough cap room for Lebron or D-Wade. I guess that would only work if Toronto can find a taker for Hedo. I think Deng would be an upgrade over Hedo since Deng actually plays a little defense and it'd cost Raptors a little more than $1m for that upgrade. It looks like Lebron will tell the world his choice on thursday and landing Bosh will give us much better chance of getting Lebron or D-Wade. ESPN reported that Raptors would be open to a sign-n-trade to Cavs if Bosh wanted to go to Cleveland. I'm sure Bosh feels almost the same way Joakim does about Cleveland but does Bosh dislike Cleveland enough to leave the $25 mil or more on the table. GarPax has to do something to get Bosh and use Bosh as bait to nab D-Wade or LeBron. I'd crushed if we end up with the scraps like last time with a Ron Mercer and Eddie Robinson scenario!
