Trade Deng, Taj, the 20th and Charlotte pick for Lamarcus.

I think for the Bulls to get LMA, he would have to push for it and put a little pressure on Portlands front office to move him

Holy sh*t did we actually get to 100 pages with the previous one?

Why do they need Deng? Batum is younger and better.

I just don't understand the logic in "Hey, Aldridge is really good, but we have 4 untouchables on our roster, so take it or leave it." How do we honestly have 4 untouchables?

If we ended up trading Noah for Aldridge....I'd end up crying.

Then stop crying.

And focus on winning.

Is RumorPress a good source?

I think some of the guys on here run the RumorPress twitter handle?

You're on the right track in terms of outgoing/ingoing, but Portland doesn't need Deng.

Deng goes to Cleveland, #1 goes to Portland with Taj, Rip, and picks.

I'm as big of a fan as anybody of acquiring talented player that fit our team perfectly without offering anything valuable the fits the need of the team in the deal but sadly, those trades rarely happen.

You needn't worry - the Bulls aren't parting with Noah for LMA. At best its a lateral move, and at worst it destroys your team and leaves a gaping hole at the 5.

No to Lebron.

If we were to miraculously get LMA, what would we do with Boozer? Amnesty him? Would that give us cap room to sign some players then to replace who we've lost via trade?

Cleveland isn't trading #1 for Deng.

At the end of the day...Noah just isn't a #2 guy an LMA is. (Again if that what it takes)

1. Noah is injured every year
2. Noah can't score at will
3. Trade Noah, you can keep Mirotic, Charlotte pick, jimmy buckets etc.
4. Great chance LMA ends up a every year all star in the east
5. LMA is outstanding in the pick and roll
6. He's a willing defender
7. Harder to find a guy like LMA than Noah

Sad to see Noah go though...it is what it is.

Destroys?

I don't think so..

Noah is no savior...he's really overrated on this board as well..

Portland's reportedly turned down some combinations of #1/#19/Waiters/Thompson for Aldridge. How would Taj/#1/#20/Rip be enough? And why would Cleveland help us get Aldridge?
