Bosh and Wade @ Agents Office With Bulls

I have some sick feeling that this is going to top the summer of 2007 (Kobe) as the most devastating, heartbreaking moment as a Bulls fan. The hopes are set incredibly high. Anything less than a Big 3 player is doomsday now.

i dunno whats going on anymore. could they really try to lock these guys up with out talking to lebron. i mean this would be insane if we locked them up tonite. but for us to not go after lebron, there would always be that regret.

They are in there saying.

Look we are commited to go to Chicago Bulls for the MAX and if Lebron comes, we agree on taking a bit less. Chicago would then send Noah and Deng to Miami/Toronto. Those 2 together are about 1 MAX salary. so in theory, they would actually only ear a bit less than MAX but make an all star team.

I say anything less than Wade or LeBron is heartbreak. Bosh isn't on that level.

While I'd much, much, much rather have LeBron, I don't think you could walk away from a Bosh / Wade combo if the two are both ready to commit.

I'm starting to think they are both gay. That's cool though as long as they don't do anything to Derrick.

**** it. If they come to Chicago, they can do whatever to Rose so long as we win.

Yeah but Derrick is the type of guy that might be pushed into doing something he doesn't really wanna do just to keep everyone happy...

Here's my theory. Bosh is saying I don't care if I play in Miami, Cleveland, Chicago as long as I get one of Lebron/Wade and 130 mil. This gives Colangelo power because he can dangle these 3 teams for the best offer.

Chicago is offering Noah for Bosh, Miami is left in the dust because they can't match. Bosh told Wade over crumpets last night he's signing for 130 mil in Chicago if that's what BC finalizes on. Lebron is probably leaning Chicago but they don't know what he's doing.

Wade is now looking at two options

a) Maxed out David Lee or Carlos Boozer in Miami. Watch Rose, Lebron, Bosh or just Rose, Bosh, and Lebron on a different team kick his ass

b) Abandon Miami, go play with Rose and Bosh in Chicago. Deng is traded for a C to replace Noah.

I think Noah for Bosh is happening right now.

Feel free to die, but I actually want to see these guys play together

I'm beginning to think this is a Power Play by Wade to take away any chance of Lebron countering by assembling his own super team.

If Wade/Bosh joined Miami, Lebron could simply go to Chicago, and the Bulls could grab a PF, and it'd pretty much be a draw.

But if Wade/Bosh went to Chicago, where does Lebron go then? NYK? NJN? LAC? None of those situations imo would put Lebron's team on even footing w/ Wade/Bosh in Chi.

Man, I hope i'm not setting myself up for disappointment

Oh you didn't know Rose already came out?

What makes you think Noah is getting traded other than the fact Deng is possibly being traded for a C? I thought Toronto would accept Taj, JJ, 3 firsts and cash

If they trade Noah + Deng for Bawwwwwwwsh..Who'll play center?

bulls4ever · Post #74 » by **bulls4ever** » Sat Jul 3, 2010 12:13 am

On a note, this sudden interest may be cause actually Bulls already have a taker to Deng contract and open space for signing 3 contracts and told then that.

Toronto already is interested on trading to Noah, so in short all we need is a taker for Deng. If Miami loses Wade, Deng could easily go on a sign and trade as well

I'll give you this. The only scenario in which Noah could be traded is for superteam. Otherwise, I don't think there's a prayer. But if these guys are crazy enough to go all in as a trio, then sure, ship him out.

I still think the bulls are kinda playing chicken with them. Which combo of 2 is going to agree to their conditions first? Lets just say that we are the only place that has the cap that the 3 of them can agree they all want to play. Now it is just an issue of which 2 will say yes first. I REALLY DON'T CARE

How awesome would it be to pull this off after the Heat may have almost spoiled our plans?

Even though I hope this doesn't happen (as a CLE fan), if I was a Bulls fan - I try to get Wade/Lebron period. No way I commit to Bosh without attempting to sign Lebron because frankly - you can trade Wade if it doesn't work out and get a huge return/big man anyways, someone on Bosh level..

Or to put it simply, you can deal Wade for a Bosh level player down the line, you can't deal Bosh for a Wade level player near as easily..

If you guys do commit to Wade/Bosh that is huge for CLE though, makes the odds of CLE keeping Lebron much higher IMO...he isn't taking a paycut.
