Trade Deng or Noah to L.A for Gasol :troll:
Or package both Deng and Noah or Boozer or all 3 in a deal for Kobe-Gasol and Bynum:troll::troll:

I'm not sure who you're referring to, but it certainly doesn't seem like Noah. Noah might average 10 points per game, but his worst night is probably 0 points lol.

He had some bad games in the start of the season this year but when it comes to big games Noah is always there and you expect him to score at least 10 points. I don't remember a big game with Noah not scoring 10 at least.

Yes. He wasn't at a good level last year after his surgery. But OK he doesn't score 10 points in every game. Howard doesn't score 10 points in every game. My bad. I used a bad expression. He scores ~10 points most of the time and he is a great defender, a great passer who can open space in the paint and he is a great re bounder. He is also a player who works a lot. His FT% is proof for his work ethic character. Nothing like Asik. And nothing like most of the NBA Cs right now. Imo it is very hard to find a player like Noah.

Rose Deng and Noah is the huge reason why the Bulls are an elite team right now. Losing Deng and Noah for players "with better potential" includes the risk of turning an elite team into an 8th seed team. And in basketball the worst thing to do is to lose a solid big man. There is a reason why they are paid so much money for just being tall.

Eh...I think Deng's good enough that even if you have Rose and a guy who's a star (not quite a superstar, but perhaps the next tier of player) he can do just fine. He's way better than Battier offensively. Yeah you can use him in that role, but you're really not using him to his full ability then.

Asik doesn't really hustle nearly as much as Noah does. I'd agree that getting an offensive big man to pair with them would be ideal, but I don't see too many of those on the market at the moment. If there's a decent option via draft, I'd consider it. I'll admit, I know next to nothing about most of the guys in this year's draft so if someone tells me that one of these big men is gonna be a legit offensive guy, I'd definitely think about trading Noah for a pick to get that guy and some throw in.

well that is the problem, your not going to get another star and be able to keep Deng and Noah so one of them must go

as for Offensive Big Men available, your not going to get that in this draft...but if you was able to move Deng or Noah contract, instead of re-signing Asik maybe see what is available via free agency first (not sure how the cap works so I don't know if by moving Noah or Deng Contract, the Bulls will be able to re-sign Asik, Gibson and still go get a decent free agent)...but you can get a SG with Star POTENTIAL with a Lottery Pick in this years draft, I like Jeremy Lamb and Austin Rivers personally, some may not like them

but if we had money available, it is some underrated OFFENSIVE BIG MEN available via Free Agency, I like Jason Thompson from the Kings (but he is restricted so you would have to overpay just to get him away from the Kings so that is likely out of the question, unless we can get his rights as part of a Noah Deal), also like Carl Landry who is a very underrated player, kind remind me of PJ Brown (I would rather have Landry then soft Boozer:smh:), Chris Kaman will be available, he is a All Star Center when he is HEALTHY, Spencer Hawes is one of the reasons why we lost to the 76ers in the 1st Round, had a strong series against us, he is available...but unfortunately we don't have the money to bring in one of those players at the moment but one of them to rotate with Noah or Asik would be NICE

@code I don't think so.

And I thought people would have understood Noah's value after the Bulls 1st round elimination! :smh:

EXACTLY!

And I like Noah but COME ON, I think we as Bulls fans sometimes OVERRATE THE HELL OUT OF OUR PLAYERS simply because they play for our team

Noah would be a Awesome player next to a SKILLED BIG MAN like if we was to move him to the Kings and he got a chance to play PF next to DeMarcus Cousins or if we was to keep him and get someone like Pau Gasol

but he is not the Answer at Center, he can be if we had more fire power offensively

I have the opposite opinion. Some of you underrate the Bulls players just because they play for the Bulls. You are a typical example. You wouldn't mind having KAMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you think Noah is overrated!

instead of:

Do you know what would you say if we lose Noah and our Cs are Asik and Kaman???

"Oh my god, Rose is helpless, it was nice when the bulls were a championship caliber team. We must beat the bucks to make the playoffs. We have a better team than them. They don't deserve the 8th seed. We deserve it more. We can do it!"

Luol Deng is probably the most overrated player in the NBA. Average at best on offense, semi above average on defense. We could get a huge bargin if we trade him.

What the Bulls should do is trade Luol for the 7th pick and take Jeremy Lamb.

Did Bear06 really PM you that BNB :lol:

FWIW from twitter


Brendan Gallacher is reporting that Gar Forman has offered Luol Deng + #29 for Andris Bierdrins + Dorell Wright + #7
