As I reported on an earlier Bullseye, Sam said the Bulls have labeled Noah as untradeable. Apparently it's true if this is to be believed: From today's Sam Smith article (Bulls Employee), and its almost laughably absurd:
"The Bulls, by the way, have Joakim Noah off limits in any sign-and-trade, probably even for LeBron James."

Everyone should know by now how much I love Noah, but that could possibly be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Needless to say, if it's remotely true, they aren't signing-and-trading him for Bosh.
Here's another laugh-out-loud statement:
"How much can you give up in a sign-and-trade? Say you could get Bosh. Could you afford to give up Hinrich, Gibson, Deng and your No. 1 and take back, say, Marcus Banks? The Raptors did have some previous talks with the Warriors, who have several interesting pieces. Though Bosh apparently had no interest in going there."
So the deal would be 2 of the most overpaid, overrated and/or injury-prone players in the league in Deng and Hinrich, a decent player in Gibson, and a mid-to high number one for Chris Bosh and Banks....and Sam is actually asking the reader if we should do this deal. Has Sam Smith lost his mind? YES YOU DO THAT DEAL. Why even ask it? I'd take a gift-wrapped pile of dog sh*t instead of Banks, and still make the deal. Who cares. You're getting Bosh.
