I'm hoping for some kind of big deal to go down with the Bulls. Ideally, I'd love to be able to get Thomas Robinson or LMA and have a top 7 pick, but I'd settle for either or

I think it's somewhat likely we actually make a trade this year. I hope it's an impact trade.

Even if a deal doesn't happen. Sticking with this team for one more year won't be a bad thing. Unless they fail again, and Deng walks after the season. Which would be worst case scenario.

I actually think an even worse case scenario would be us re-signing Deng..

yes it will we know Boozer and Deng aren't likely long term guys here so why feel the need to hold on to team?

I'm fine with Aldridge as long as Noah is kept, he is definitely an upgrade over Boozer. But honestly, the more pressing need in my opinion is a high scoring 2 guard or SF. Butler and Deng are nearly the same type of player, though Deng is better. Its redundant to have them in the lineup playing together. Eric Gordon & Hardaway Jr, plus resigning Robinson might be a better way to go.

from the other thread:

Williams
Johnson
Pierce
Garnett
Lopez

Is this some kind of sick joke? Who are they sending to Brooklyn? Certainly they dont want Joe Johnson, and The Nets are not trading Dwill or Brook.

I know this is kind of unrealistic given salary....I dont see how Brooklyn can make a move for both of them

yeah i was thinking the same thing. first of all the russian billionaire prokorov (sp?) can pay for anything. it's really a matter of whether the cap rules will allow the nets to do this, not so much how much he is willing to pay salary tax wise. the nets are deep as **** already, they have pieces to move.

Goal: Acquire Aldridge without Rose, Noah, Butler, Mirotic included.

Is that supposed to be a counter-argument to acquiring LMA?

LMA paired with Rose, Noah, and Thibs is ideal.

What are we giving up in this deal that's so crippling?

--Deng is replaceable with Butler (and he likely won't be re-signed in '14)
--The Charlotte pick MIGHT turn into a very good player in 3-5+ years
--Taj is a backup, and we have Mirotic coming over

What am I missing here?

Yeah, is this an argument against Aldridge? We've been looking for a Robin! We've got a Batman. And Donkey Kong. And an evil genius head coach. And The Butler! We're in such good shape to bring in a Robin.

I agree with everything you said, too. Good post.

Duh, that's the trade. Kirk for LMA and the #10. It's only fitting he gets Kurt's jersey.

Agree.

How is that not total victory?

It most definitely would be. It's borderline realistic too! :wink:
