Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

Is it at all possible to keep Deng and Rose and still obtain Howard? The espn draft thing accepted just about every one of my trade suggestions, so I don't trust it.

 

Salary-wise, sure, but Orlando isn't going to trade D12 for Noah and Ronnie Brewer.

What about with Charlottes unprotected pick?

 

I think that's a really hard sell to your fanbase that you gave up your franchise for a pick that has a chance to be really high 4 years from now.

What if we throw in Jimmy Butler?

I just got the trade machine to accept a B2B style trade...

 

We send Boozer and Noah to the Magic, Asik and Korver to the Twolves.

We get Howard from Orlando and Brad Miller and Kevin Love from the Twolves.

 

Lets do this. haha.

But who's our SG? Come on. Still not good enough to beat Miami.

I think they'd have to sell Noah as the main part of that trade. But as soon as Howard goes, the fans will stop showing up regardless of what they get back.

I'm not sure Orlando would even do Noah, Boozer, Charlotte pick, right to Mirotic, future Bulls first, but i think Orlando would at least consider it. If they trade Howard, Im thinking Orlando might just want to bottom out and in the process collect all the cheap but valuable assets they can get their hands on. They know they can recruit top FAs when they are available and if they want to make a trade a year or two from now Mirotic and Bobcat pick (if not Estes yet) are increasingly more valuable without costing Orlando anything to hang on to. So I think theyd consider it but ultimately say no. Obviously Jimmy Butler would be the tipping point.

"Don't worry ticketholders, we're getting back a center who doesn't rebound and will leave soon."

 

"Don't worry ticketholders, we are getting back an aging power forward who doesn't want to be here."

 

No matter what, they lose.

Orlandos owner is 86. Dont see him rebuilding in any way.

Well thats his fault isnt it?

If he's so smart, why is he so old?

[Ryne Ween]

After absorbing alonst 9 centuries of wisdom and knowledge surely this octogenarian knows thatcalling D12's bluff is the move. Howard will sign a max in the offseason.

[Careless]

GIF-worthy face from Skiles there.

[Careless]

Wow, Gooden looks old. Not old-old, just "how the hell does he look my age old?"

[SpongeWorthy]

This is annoying

[bcl412]

Defense and the Bulls effort just sucks tonight.

[SpongeWorthy]

GO AWAY

[Theo]

Not surprised one bit, we just game off two wins that drained us a ton, Philly and Indy...had a feeling a letdown was coming.

[bcl412]

They just look so bad on defense. The Bucks are running the same play over and over again and we aren't stopping it at all.

[Theo]

Ilyasova is just owning us...smh.

[bcl412]

Rose needs to stop chucking threes and I bet the Bucks run a pick and roll.

[Smack]

Bucks announcers are so fun when the Bulls are in town.

[Brian]

D R O S E !!!!

[Theo]

THATS YOUR MVP NEIL FUNK!
