Report: Derrick Rose's agents pushing for LaMarcus Aldridge to Chicago

[Lebron23]

They will have to give up Noah to get him IMO.

This

Aldridge is a top 5 player in his position.

[ralph_i_el]

noah is more valuable than aldridge imo

They will have to give up Noah to get him IMO.

Which is not an option.

[DaSeba5]

Which is not an option.

It shouldn't be. They would be worse without Noah even with LMA. It doesn't make sense to me to trade him. Noah is one of the best defensive players in the league and one of the biggest reasons their defense is so great.

This. Much, much more so.

And if this trade was to eventuate, you will find that it will involve a pick or two and Gibson. Other than that, Bulls have no room to move, Portland do not want Boozer or Deng.

[Remix]

The only trade that would make sense would be Taj, the rights to Mirotic, and Charlotte's future first, which could end up being pretty high depending on how shtty they are for the next few years.

They probably wouldn't want Boozer. The Bulls can't afford to give up Noah because they wouldn't have a center. WHich is the position POR desperately needs

[Lamar Odumbb]

This is like the lakers not wanting to give up Bynum for Carmelo in 2011. The Lakers shouldve done it.

The Bulls need to trade Noah for Aldrige if they want to lessen the burden and stress on Rose's body on the offensive end.

[TheFan]

Noah and Aldridge are equivalent.
Noah is one of the best passing big man in the league and the anchor of the Bulls defense... LA is the best scoring big man in the league.

Trading Aldridge for Noah makes no sense for the Bulls.

[PickernRoller]

Ship Rose's ass to Portland for Lilliard+++

PROBLEM solved.

Blazers say HELL NO.

Isn't this the same Bulls team that refused to give up Deng for Kobe?

[ReturnofJPR]

These agents are idiots. Listen to them & the next thing that you know, the Bulls will look like melos Knicks...all flash and no substance. All offense and no toughness, grit, or defense. No thanks!

Rose is not bigger than the franchise. Chicago can win without him, it's not like the Bulls are desperate for attendance or need a player to bring in money, Bulls are bigger than d-rose. If rose and his camp try to call the shots..he can take his deron "breaking teams up" Williams ass outta town.

Kobe wouldn't accept a trade to chicago unless the bulls kept Deng. Kobe wanted players to compete with, he wanted to be on a good squad.

I'm glad you're not the Bulls GM.

While I value Aldridge very highly, I also value Noah very highly. Not worth the risk. Noah anchors our defense, was drafted by the Bulls and is very settled in the team. You can't buy that.

Harsh, but I do agree with that.

Rose is not bigger than the team, if he and a loose cannon agent want to disrupt the team, then we are left no choice but to move him on (However, I don't believe its at that stage yet)
