Is this a serious question? Absolutely.

Bulls probably would have to be drunk to do it though.

I would easily trade Dragic or Bledsoe + all the picks we own + our own unprotected 2016 first rd pick + any young player you want except for the Morris twins.

Bulls would have to absolutely suck to consider trading Noah though. And that will never happen under Thibs. Because of his defense, Noah is probably Thibs favorite player.

The high level defensive C that is most realistically available, and I have advocated for him in the past, is Roy Hibbert. When I say "realistically available" I mean something like 2.02% probability that Pacers blow it up and trade him to the Suns. Unlike the 0.05% chance that Chicago trades Noah to us. "So you're saying there's a chance"? No, there is no chance at all. :lol:

Yeah, I was just thinking more about that, and going from Noah to Pau at center is a huge downgrade defensively and he's old. Taj and Mirotic provide frontcourt depth but not really at center.

It would make sense to include Plumlee in the deal, but I think they would want Len. I wouldn't trade as much as you would and am not sure I would one of the guards AND Len. But ultimately if it happened I'd still be pretty excited. I think we'd be extremely tough with Dragic or Bledsoe/Green/PJ or Marcus/Kieff/Noah and then IT and PJ or Marcus plus Warren off the bench.

I wouldn't want to trade Warren either and especially not Len AND Warren along with a guard.

I think the Pacers would easily trade Hibbert for one of Dragic/Bledsoe, or maybe some a combo of some of our other players. They seemed to be willing to trade him over the summer.

I don't think its even worthwhile discussing a Noah trade any further cause it isn't gonna happen.

Our best chance to get an elite defensive C will be in FA when Asik becomes an UFA. He's a mess offensively but elite defender and good rebounder.

I agree. It seemed like fairly legit rumors that Pacers had Hibbert on the trade block earlier this year. I think Hornacek could design a way for Hibbert to play within our system. Hibbert is not a gazelle by any means, but he's not a plodding mastodon either. Plus, he would be an excellent starting C for the next couple of years while Len develops.

In my book everyone is available for trade except Len and TJ Warren.

Looks like Magic find Frye in their system which means surprise win to them.

Honestly, how can anyone deny if Frye was doing what he's doing in in Orlando but in Phoenix this year, we're a much better team.

Next summer E.Bledsoe -> R.Jackson. Lakers offer max and OKC let him go.

Am I the only one who thinks OKC won't make the playoffs? When Durant and Westbrook return, they might be 10-15 games under .500

That won't cut it in the West. Dig too deep in the hole, you ain't getting out. Phoenix would be happy to take their spot in the West.

What is your point? I was talking about the first quarter not predicting the whole game.

It will be close. I think Westbrook comes back when they are something like 7-16. Durant will probably be another 10 games after that. It depends how the team does with just Westbrook.

I think they slip in at 6 or 7 probably. But it wouldn't shock me if they didn't, especially if those guys take longer than that to get back in.

Point? TJ was just reacting to that crazy first quarter score.
