OT: Bulls looking to move Noah? ('Tone called this one last week)

[Rastapopoulos]

Yeah, we could lose out on that pick but it's still likely we pick at 6 and 11.

Noah/Mirotic for #6/#11/S&T Hickson is a fair offer.

No it isn't! Hickson plays no defense and Mirotic is a minor step down from Pau Gasol.

MAYBE the #6, the #11 and Freeland for Noah might tempt them.

Brewer was a bad signing.

He's a fringe NBA player.

You're not really showing your GM chops here. I have to wonder how you think the Bulls did so well if you think so little of all their players. Brewer is one of the best wing defenders in the league, and one of the reasons Deron Williams finally gave up on the Jazz was because they let Brewer go.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The thing is, they're about to let [Brewer] walk (buy him out), so I wonder why they'd want a $6M player to replace the $4.5M one.

You know that for a fact? Wow, we should snap him up and try to sell Deron Williams on a team with Brewer, Wesley, Aldridge and the coach of his choice.

Mirotic is a minor step down from Pau Gasol? Gasol's a borderline HOF'er.

 

[MickZagger]

K, so I've watched a lot of video on Mirotic and he doesn't look anything like Pau. He relies a lot on the 3 point shot, something Pau's never done.

People with their comparisons these days crack me up.

Boozer is who they want to get rid of.

What I read is the Bulls are ok with shedding his salary and using Jimmy Butler in his place.

I guess that would be San Antonio-esque.

Core players dumped:

Jalen Rose
Jamal Crawford
Eddie Curry
Ben Gordon

That was when the Bulls sucked. And, apart from Chandler (and actually including him - I think he's a player like Z-Bo who needed a change of scenery) can you honestly say that their play since has made the GM that cut them look bad?

WHEREAS: the Bulls with Noah are actually very good, and he's a key reason.

all we're [were] the Bulls' leading scorer the year they were dumped, too.

It's pretty easy to be the leading scorer on a shitty team.

The leading scorer tends to be the best scorer out of the 15 players, no matter how you slice it. And I still think Ben Gordon would be a great 2 guard for the current Bulls. Or Crawford.

And dumping those guys (for CAP flexibility reasons) didn't make them winners. Drafting Derrick Rose did.
