Awesome. No more offensive liabilities. If I have to choose between offensive ineptitude and defensive ineptitude, I'll take the latter for sure.

At least with an offensive team, you can be somewhat over-matched and still hope to get hot and outduel the opps that way. You can't simply defend your way to a come from behind win against a great team. You have to beat them putting points on the board.

Weird to be doing this before the new coach checks in. But GarPax are gonna do what they want regardless. They will have their compliance.

I had to choose..I want to keep Taj over Noah. Taj can make a layup consistently.

Curious that Sheridan threw this in under the context of teams looking for cap space. Is the Gasol Connection aka Spanish Armada about to form in Chicago?

Doesn't mean we'll be able to trade them for anything good

This is GarPax.

Remember when we tried to trade Tom Thibodeau?

I knew this was coming. Noah is in the end of his contract. I wouldn't be surprise if we traded him somewhere like OKC.

Marc Gasol's agent is Arn Tellem, same as Pau's.

Arn has a relationship with Jerry.

I am sure Bulls are doing "this" already with some agreement with Hoiberg. I am sure Hoiberg wouldnt accept the job if he isnt involved or informed at least with FO moves.

How about a swap of Taj for Kevin Martin?

I think they really want to make room for Niko.

That and Noah likely doesn't fit in Hoiberg's system.

Good. It would be the sensible thing to do.

They will probably try and dump one or both for cap space to use to re-sign Jimmy to the max and free up the full MLE.

That said, I desperately wish there was a way we could get the Clippers interested in doing a sign and trade for DeAndre Jordan.

Is "Joe Kotoch" a reliable source for breaking Bulls news?

Never heard of him.

Let Noah go, he was just horrible and doesn't provide any offense.

NO doubt. I'm wondering why Hoiberg talked to the Magic though.
