Hasheem Thabeet on the market?

I heard Hasheem is on the market can anyone shed some light on this? The Bulls may need a new center if we acquire Bosh from the Raptors in a sign and trade because Noah could be included.

Hasheem has to get a lot better for the #2 pick to be considered "meh." The only way he's going to get better is for him to get minutes. Those minutes are hard to come by when Marc and Zach are playing so much. But you need both those guys on the floor for the offense to really click.

I don't think either front office wants to get involved in the whole Thabeet situation: If the Grizz trade him, they're basically conceding the fact that it was a bad pick (in the sense that there's very little chance they're going to get the equivalent value of a #2 pick in any kind of trade).
And there's no way Memphis is getting Bosh or Noah for Thabeet. It would be too big a gamble for the team trying to acquire Hasheem. Frankly I'm surprised that a Bulls fan would want to dump Noah. He's a very promising young center.

Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors got involved somehow. They make some very risky (odd) managerial decisions and there are plenty of minutes at the center spot (assuming Bargnani ends up at power forward).

And really, the only possible way I could see the Grizzlies acquiring Bosh would be a sign and trade that was something like:
Bosh and filler for Randolph's $17 mil expiring and Thabeet or something.
And I still doubt either the Grizz or the Raptors would do that. But who knows.

Someone's in left field - the idea is that Chicago would acquire Bosh and need Thabeet. I don't think there's anyone on planet earth that has the warped idea that Chris Bosh could end up in Memphis, other than to play against the Grizz...

Haha, yeah I wandered off there for a moment.
