Have to feel like the Bulls will be looking to trade Taj for an expiring and maybe a protected future pick, trade Dunleavy for any expiring they can, amnesty Boozer and go after Melo.

They'll have a high pick and maybe they'll even try trading Noah, their pick and some other 1sts for Kevin Love.

Bynum is going to get waived, maybe the Nets make a play for him?

Bynum is an ass hole that barely plays. This team has way too many ass holes already that do the same thing.

I hate Bynum. Clippers could use him though.

Notice how Cleveland traded a protected pick and two 2nd round picks for Deng. Thank God Billy couldn't trade for him at the deadline.

Lopez, Plumlee, Taylor, Teletovic, Shengelia, Evans, Terry for Noah, Boozer and Gibson?
Lopez, Plumlee and Terry for Noah and Boozer?
Lopez and Plumlee for Noah and Gibson?
Lopez for Noah and Dunleavy?

Any of these would be possible?

Bulls wont trade Taj or Noah unless its for a immediate upgrade. They want to be good next season so they wont trade guys to increase their chance of going from top 7 pick to top 3.

Dunleavy and Kirk are guys to watch out for though. Booz will be amnestied but i doubt Chicago wants melo at that melo price and that melo age.

If Boozer is amnestied, you guys think we have a good chance of picking him up?

No chance. A team with cap space will pick him off waivers rather quickly.

I highly disagree.

First off I think they'd trade Taj for an expiring and any pick in a heartbeat if they can also trade Dunleavy for an expiring and get close to max cap.

Second, you're kind of crazy if you think they wouldn't trade Noah, their pick and a future pick such as the Sacto pick for Kevin Love if that deal is available, but that would be the immediate upgrade you speak of.

I wouldn't even be totally shocked if the Bulls took Brook Lopez for Noah if they Nets included a Pierce for Boozer and Taj swap to totally clear your cap and maybe threw in Bogdanovic rights.

Bulls will not dump Taj for a protected draft pick (he has been great this season and his deal is fair), this will not be a fire sale as there is still hope of Chicago being very good next season i.e. Rose being healthy.

But do look to see guys like Hinrich and MDJ to get moved. And no the Bulls will not trade Noah for a guy who just had season ending foot surgery.

I don't think you're getting this.

If the Bulls can dump Taj and Dunleavy, they will have Rose, Noah, their lotto pick, Butler, Teague, Snell and pretty much true full max cap space if they amnesty Boozer. Like Melo max.

I also dont think Chicago wants melo, and trust me i get it. Chicago rarely makes big trades, this was a good but unusual move for them.

If Love was a free agent this summer i would be more open to your thought about them trading Taj.

I still think Chicago has eyes on the prize and that prize is cap room and low/no tax for now.

Thibs is unhappy with the trade. There's been a rift there all season. Hopefully he can weasel his way out of there like Doc did, would be interested in coming to the Nets - the Prokorhov factor, without us giving up a 1st in 2020 or something like that.

Then can Walsh and his staff and bring in the Phoenix medical staff.

Just some wishful thinking

I think you guys should go after Bynum. The team has proven they can compete this year and there is a strong veteran locker room to keep him in check.
