Too bad D.Rose doesn't inspire much confidence in anyone or it wouldn't even be a question of where these guys should go

I could see GS being a good landing spot for him. Also the Suns have a nice young team

If I was these guys I would try my hardest to go to the Leastern Conference though

Sources told ESPN.com that the Golden State Warriors and Chicago Bulls are among the potential trade destinations that intrigue Love.

The Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks have likewise been mentioned all season as big-market landing spots that would tempt Love, but going to the best situation for immediate contention is said to be the power forward's priority.



I'd say that after those comments,the Bulls have to be high on his list..........Melo or Love??

there's always been reports on that. I still think if we don't get Melo 2014....Hold onto boozer and go for love in 2015. Minny isn't gonna get get fair market value for love unless they find a team willing to do what New York did when getting Melo. And we see how that worked out.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

What if we don't get Love in 2015 though? Ouch.

It won't be just Love, it'll be with a wing addition, maybe Afflalo.

It would be great to add Love, but I would do it only if Anthony stays in New York. Anthony should be the first target IMO because we have more options at PF than SF and he fits exactly what we need.

Damn, maybe the Bulls just might get another star this summer.

Woj

Beyond the coaching search, the Wolves are under pressure to start considering trade scenarios for Love, who's anxious to exercise his Early Termination Option (ETO) in the summer of 2015 and leave as a free agent, league sources said.

"For the first time, [Saunders] sounds like looking at deals for [Love] is an option," one rival executive told Yahoo Sports.

The Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns are among many teams determined to make hard runs at trades for Love, league sources said. Boston and Los Angeles plan to make high-lottery picks in the 2014 NBA Draft available in offers for Love, sources said.

No team is likely to trade for Love without an assurance that he'll commit to a five-year, $100 million maximum contract extension. Despite a belief that Love prefers Los Angeles or New York as a potential destination, he's open to deals in other markets where he can be part of an immediate contender, sources said.


Its not gonna be an easy deal. The Bulls will have some serious competition and the deal will be very big

He wants a big and competitive market.
He is a great player, and having him would certaintly improve our chances but he would not be the final piece.
He doesn't provide playmaking or shot creation. He scores efficiently and with volume but
His scoring reminds me of his teammate martin, in the end it does not count. For our team i always sided in LMA corner instead of love.

Again if we get him great, he would definitel improve the team even if we sold the house, but i much rather have melo.

On the other side, this can really hurt us in our Melo hunt. LA could open probably achieve some kobe melo love big three. Worse than miami but still a big three, in la, and kobe leaving in a close future.
If he really wants out he could play the season and sign next year in ny. Phil could sell melo the idea, get your money get one bad year snd then contention in ny.

If you could get Love and Noah that would be ideal. If I had to pick, I would choose Melo because he's the total package offensively for us. Love would be great too, but the Bulls would still need more work after getting Love. They would most notably still need a 2nd creator.

Only way we get both Love and Melo is by trading Noah, and I don't see that happening.

GS doesn't have picks. They offer Klay and Lee? Love Curry Iggy Bogut won't win anything.


We can offer the best package by far. I'd send Niko, 16, and Sac Pick. Yes Niko is that good. Only the Suns could offer more assets. I think Flip wants proven players though.

As many have said we still have more work to do. I'd rather trade for Melo and give up 3 1sts and keep Niko. I think Niko will become a really good offensive player that will be better at creating then Love anyway.

Return to Chicago Bulls
