Marquis Teague Traded To Brooklyn

[RoseMVP1]

Taj wouldn't be hard to move. Pretty good player that is playing on a under-market contract. For today's NBA that is.

If we give away Taj and come up empty in the FA, I´ll go into rampage mode!

That won't happen.

GarPax & Derrick Rose will know ahead of time if Melo, Lebron, or Love are heading here. If we hear about a Taj trade, it will signal that a franchise player is on his way here.

I agree. Taj is a starting quality PF in this league that can play center at his size effectively. His offence is continuing to improve so as much of a fan of Taj I am, I feel your right .

 

[Crystallas]

Taj's decent contract is the reason why this front office would be reluctant to move him.

 

[ChettheJet]

Who´s the guy we got?

Anybody ever seem him playing? I never heard that name ...

You've never heard of expiring contract? He's highly coveted.

Teague was a gamble on a young player who came out too soon that didn't pay off. The hope has to be the Forman and Paxon understand that type of player doesn't fit with what their coach is willing to do. And don't bother drafting kids. 4 year players like Butler and Snell come far better prepared to work in Thibs' system because they've already learned to play the game on both ends.

I think this completely rules out trading Hinrich. They only have 2 point guards and that's thin. I doubt they trade Dunleavy because they're very short on 2-3 players.

I don't see them trading Taj under any scenario. Likely they wouldn't sign a 4 as a FA, that would mean if they amnesty Boozer, are they going to pay him his $19 million to go away PLUS some new FA 4? Because Taj can play center behind Noah, or if he's injured for a few games he's got a higher value than most 4s who they would have to replace him with. For the Mirotic dreamers, IF he's any good and that's a big IF, he seems like someone who's second position would be closer to a 3 than a 5.

In addressing you post. 1) Hinrich can still be traded. I here that Mike James guy is looking for a job. Dunleavy can be traded easily and filling his position with expiring contract or D-League is possible. 2) Taj and Noah are are best trade pieces and if you read my post under the thread "Potential future line-up" I map it out. 3) If you have ever watched him like I have every chance I get (I am a RM fan), he is a solid 4. He is too slow now since he has put on his adult weight to gaurd 3's in this league. He is good on the block and a great defender for a Euro.

 

[RoseMVP1]

Everyone on this team is up for grabs at the right price. Would not be surprised in the slightest to see Noah moved. Based on win shares and his contract, he's the biggest bargain at center in the entire league. Someone will want him.

I usually agree with you on most issues, but everyone is not up for grabs........specifically Rose & Noah.

Dude, what is with you and LeBron? You know damn well LeBron is not coming to the Bulls so stop with this nonsense.

He hasn't even played in the NBA yet, how is he a great defender?

Huh?....What are you talking about?

I think you have me mixed up with a different poster.

Chet this is an interesting theory...not saying i disagree either, but will add this...

Recent history has shown us that there are usually a fairly small amount of players in the draft that are ready to be NBA starters, others will take some time to learn the system, and some will bust.

So having said that, IMO, the Bulls are either going to:

1- Combine picks to move up the draft to aquire an NBA ready player (preferably top 3) limiting the # of young players to invest in player development
2- Sell enough to afford another max contract (having no delusions of LBJ) The Bulls absolutely need another player that can create his own shot.
3- Use picks as potential trade sweeteners, (again, limits the # of young players to invest in player development) and fill in the rest of the roster with role players.
4- Full sell mode (except the core of Rose & whoever else might be considered core) and enter the world of NBA mediocrity.

I would do a combination of (in this order) #1, #2 and #3ray:

I don't see them trading Taj under any scenario. Likely they wouldn't sign a 4 as a FA, that would mean if they amnesty Boozer, are they going to pay him his $19 million to go away PLUS some new FA 4? Because Taj can play center behind Noah, or if he's injured for a few games he's got a higher value than most 4s who they would have to replace him with.

Last week i would have agreed with you 100%, but now...if there is a scenario where trading Gibson makes us better, than i am for it.

 

[Axl Rose]

1- Combine picks to move up the draft to aquire an NBA ready player (preferably top 3) limiting the # of young players to invest in player development

it doesn't matter how many picks you combine nobody will give up a top 3 pick in this draft Emiid, Jabari, Wiggins...all potential franchise changers

depending on where our best pick is you might be able to move up a few spots if you combined picks

2- Sell enough to afford another max contract (having no delusions of LBJ) The Bulls absolutely need another player that can create his own shot.

thats basically what we have to do at this point...too late to tank....im praying for Melo

You are probably right, but you can't say never (that is speculation).

There is 1 scenario i can think of that's a possibility:

Bulls trade:
Player x (a player the other team covets)
Bulls 1st rd pick (Charlotte)
Bulls 1st rd pick 2015
swap 2014 1st rd picks


Bulls get:
Player x
swap 2014 1st rd picks


Slim?...yes...but possible

Read the comments you made which I quoted in the post. You keep talking about LeBron being an option for Chicago. Get a clue.

I've mentioned Lebron the same amount of times that everyone else have. I've been pushing for Kevin Love in my posts.

You are a lame that attempts to pick fights on the internet.

 

[ChiSoxCity]

What makes you think LeBron James wants to come to Chicago?

 

[BIGGIEsmalls 23]

Dude, almost every discussion that posters are having on this board revolves around rumors.

Why are you talking to me about Lebron, when 90% of my "trade/FA" posts have been about Kevin Love, LMA, & Melo?
