Rumor: LMA wants off the Blazers, lists Bulls as desired destination

[Inferno]

Holy crap! Get this done, Bulls. Fix your ridiculous mistake you made on draft night back in 2006.

Get Boozer's ass out of here and get Aldridge!

Noah
Aldridge
Deng
Butler
Rose

2014 NBA champs!!

That lineup would definitely have a good shot at winning it all.

Give up Mirortic and Charlotte's pick and Boozer.

You're overvaluing your assets like a typical Bulls fan. Trade Lamarcus means Portland is going to have to rebuild. Deng is worthless for them when they already have Batum

Deng, Bobcats pick and the 20th pick (or maybe Thomas Robinson) for LaMarcus Aldridge is not overvaluing the assets. That's a pretty fair trade considering Portland wants to add pieces - that Bobcats pick could be HUGE.

Giving up Jimmy Buter, Luol Deng, and the Bobcats pick is way to much for LaMarcus Aldridge with the current state of the Bulls. Why would they get rid of 2 starters to create a fcking mess at PF (LMA, Boozer, Taj)?

Give up Mirortic and Charlotte's pick and Boozer.

Mirotic stated he's only playing for the Bulls. He's not really a good trade chip.

Who in their right mind is taking Boozer?

[Levity]

Give up Mirortic and Charlotte's pick and Boozer.

swtich boozer(cause no way portland wants that contact if theyre rebuilding) with the expiring deng, and maybe thats a possibility.

move butler to the 3, and hopefully find a decent enough 2 guard that can knock down the 3 ball in free agency.

[veilside23]

maybe they would do this deng + taj for LMA ?

[tikay0]

Sadly Silk is right. There's no way they want Deng, when they already have Batum.

It's Noah or bust for them. Or some 3 way trade where they end up with a lottery pick and filler.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Not Noah. Blazers would be stupid though to pass up on the rights to Mirotic and if the Bulls were to throw in maybe Deng or Boozer and the Bobcat's pick.

Noah and Rose are off limits.

Edit: What about Taj?

Mirotic, Bobcat's pick, Taj Gibson, maybe this years first round pick too?

Bulls amnesty Boozer. Sign a free agent back up 4. It would still leave them with a ridiculous starting lineup of Noah/Aldridge/Deng/Butler/Rose.

[Fudge]

Rose or LMA?

Can't have one with the other. Marinate on that for a second.

Why couldn't they have both? Rose was drafed 2 years later, while Aldridge wasn't really spectacular in his first season.

[ConanRulesNBC]

The only way I'd even consider Noah is if the Bulls still had Asik.

Let's be real here. That draft was straight up rigged for us bro.

If we had LMA, no way Stern allows us to get the #1 pick.

Not to mention, LMA, Kirk, Deng, BG7 wasn't going to be a bottom team.

maybe they would do this deng + taj for LMA ?

I'd probably do that. Taj is a nice piece, but dropping his contract would probably mean Nate Robinson stays. Plus the 20th pick could be used to find Taj's replacement (maybe Trob as rumored).

maybe they would do this deng + taj for LMA ?

Portland is going to want picks and young players. That trade doesn't help them rebuild.

Do you not read? I already told you Mirotic is only playing for the Bulls. How is he an asset?

When did he say that? And does he really even have a choice? Don't the Bulls hold the rights to him? What's stopping them from trading him?
