Woj: HOU still wants Asik for Lee, CHI determined to add SG

I'd do the Mayo deal but Chandler could be better depending on what they want.

Chandler is definitely a G/F

EDIT: He's started 58 career games (25% of games played) at the SG position.

I'm going to say this again, because he's so terrible it needs repeating, Thabeet can not replace one of either Asik or Taj. Thabeet is terrible and should not ever see the court again for the rest of his skinny ass life.

If we trade taj or Asik and get back Thabeet, our front court is no longer a strength. Its as weak as Thabeets rebounding.

Thabeet is a goon and has a big rookie contract but that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Bulls have to pull the trigger
Gibson is good but to get a young player with a great upside and young
Come on stop overrating Gibson
Rose needs help

How hard will it be for teams to guard mayo and rose

It'll get done without Taj IMO. I'd do it w/o Cha if Taj goes

BullsCroatia · Post #227 » by **BullsCroatia** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 5:51 pm

Yes, if Taj or Asik is going we must find a better replacement than Thabeet.

Hill or Arthur would cut it. Any other ideas?

I hate posting stuff because it's 3rd hand and know a lot of you's like to poke fun at people but oh well.

Ugh, all these scenarios with multiple firsts, especially the Charlotte. If I had to make a deal I would take the Houston one over Memphis.

Rose/Watson
Lee/Brewer
Deng/Korver
Boozer/Gibson
Noah/Hill

I could live with that.

Any way we land a SG, Chandler and a cheap big?

(With anything needed to match salaries)

Wallace and Diaw and Miami pick to Houston

Yao, Twill, Thabeet to Charlotte

Mayo, Hill to Chicago

Charlotte pick, Cj Watson, Bogans to Grizzlies

It's a little unbalanced... Ok Pretty unbalanced.

I'm not a JR Smith fan usually...but he'd be the cheapest of all these guys b/c of his contract status. Get him.

Iubt thats the deal. They probably say add Korver or Watson and maybe even another pick. I dont wanna give up Taj but for may I prolly woud. And then maybe we can move Thabeet to Houston for an actualy big like Hill or Patrick Patteron or something.

Ralph's a big time poster, right? Any past verified rumor history?

For Realz. I remember seeing Thabeet's college highlight video, and I can't remember ever seeing a guy fall down so much in his highlight video. He's got a Mutumbo body, but I don't think he has the fire to be a player and certainly isn't a big who would be able to play in Thib's system (which requires all big men to read pick and roll and call out coverage to their guards).

If Memphis needs Taj to get a deal done, I don't see one happening. Basically, all of the deals on the table now seem 1 move away from happening. Will the Bulls get a team to blink, and just take picks?

Wilson Chandler's intriguing. We'd have to pay for him this offseason, and I think he's more a sf than he is a 2, but he's a good athlete who can score from a lot of different places on the floor. An intriguing backup option I'd have to think about.

Latest word was that Denver is not looking to trade JR Smith - because they are hoping to resign him. With Carmelo's scoring gone, they probably figure they need him. Denver looks like they are going to try and make the playoffs this season and next.

As Thabeets everything.

I cant respect a player that cant get burn in the D-League but goes high in the draft.

Nothing in the past - but he's been around a long time for him to just start making up chit. This might be third-hand twice removed , and he prefaced it that way.

Don't buy into them, I trust the person who tells me, been right before but it's 3rd person talk. I'm just sharing what I've been told since there's been a big debate going on about Mayo and Lee and what to give up
