Noah?

Any chance we could entice Chicago to dump Noah now for some combination of Green, Gomes, and Smith? We could add the Boston pick and/or our second rounders this year.

Perhaps Noah for:

Green/Smith/2009 Boston #1
or
Green/Smith/2008 MN #2

I assume Smith would be more attractive to them than Gomes, since they already have Noc and Deng at SF. And Green needs to be included to make the money work.

Smith would definitely be a better fit than Gomes. I think I would maybe do that deal.

Craig Smith, Ryan Gomes, Michael Doleac, Sebastian Telfair

for

Joakim Noah, Chris Duhon, Thabo Sefolosha

that'd be my offer

And the Bulls would decline. (However, I would LOVE to have Duhon on this team.)

I wouldn't give up any picks

We would definately have to give up a pick. Even with the pick, I don't think the Bulls would do this deal. Noah for expirings and a late pick is terribly homerish. The Bulls don't have the cap room to resign Smith/Gomes/Telfair. They have to worry about their own first, see Gordon/Deng.

Devilz I think that's too much to ask. I'm just trying to scoop up Noah while his value might be low.

Mikcheck, not even our second rounder or Boston's 2009 #1? Both of them are crapshoots considering where they fall in the draft.

A agree that Noah would be a perfect fit here, but I don't think its doable. When the team benched Noah, I went over to see if their board to see if they would consider moving him. The Bulls have several good posters, and there was a resounding "No!" from all the other vultures that beat me there.

Kinda what I figured Shrink. I bet the Miami pick would get their attention, but I dont think I'd be willing to offer that for Noah.

Maybe the ATL pick, if we could get it from PHO?

maybe there some kind of bigger deal we could do here with wallace/Noah

something like Wallace/Noah/Filler/1st for Ratliff/Jaric/Walker/Smith/bos 1st

Noah/Wallace/Richard
Jefferson/Gomes
Gomes/Brewer
Mccants/Jaric
Foye/Telfair

They don't need cap room to resign their own players, or Smith/Gomes/Telfair if they traded for them.

I would. Miami has Wade, they could get better really fast.

I would also. Noah is a legit 7fter with passion that focuses on defense and passing. if we can get him for the Miami pick and a filler (I would prefer Green or Smith, I think Gomes should be resigned) then I would do it in a second.

I would even sweaten it with a second rd pick. We have 2 high ones this year.

Noah for Green+miami pick+2nd this year.

I would do it in a second. This is NOAH!!! the guy that was compared to Chandler and Camby. His teammate and friend is Brewer. Wow, I would do this deal very quickly.

Noah was talked about as a #1 pick after his junior year, he has nice talent. I'd trade a bundle for him.

I would, too. Noah was a top 10 pick. We'd be trading a protected first that wouldn't be top 10 for, what 2 more years? I like rev's deal.

When we did a poll about 2 months ago to ask if Brewer was who we wanted or if there was someone else. The only name that popped up often was Noah. In minnesota Noah would be next to a scoring big (Al) so he can focus on rebounding, defending and passing. His passion would be great and there is the chemistry of him with Brewer.

Wow, I wish this deal could happen.

Chemistry, and BBIQ are underrated in todays basketball. Noah would fill the need at the 5 so we can draft BPA with clear hearts. He would also satisfy my desire for a 5 that can pass in the high post.

We are not even talking about his effect on brewer's confidence.
