“My foot feels a lot better, but I still have a lot of work to do,” Noah told ESPN NewYork.com Wednesday at the “Steve Nash Foundation Showdown,” a charity soccer game in Manhattan. “I’m still not 100 percent, but I feel pretty good and I’ll be ready at the beginning of the season.”

I Like LA, but under no circumstances should the Bulls bend over and take it in the culo for him.
Let's look at the 4 potential outgoing pieces so that you can take a tour through my mind, Fleet.
Deng -- Will probably be leaving the Bulls between draft day & the end of the season.
Gibson -- Taj is one of my favorites, but he is replaceable.
Charlotte pick -- It's value will fluctuate depending on the Bobcats' success. We need to cash it in.
1st rd pick -- It will basically be a 2nd round pick.
Is LMA my ideal "franchise player" to pair with Rose?....Not at all, but his addition makes us a better team, IMO.
the criteria you should be using is the actual value your pieces have, not their value to the Bulls. And basically, the Charlotte pick alone represnts Lamarcus Aldridge himself. Its the compensation for putting up with Tyrus Thomas for a few years, who was aquired for...Lamarcus Aldridge.
You go around making bad impatient deals just to make them, thats bad business, and ultimately you'll regret it. I guarantee you Friday morning GarPax will say something like there were deals we could have made, but we aren't going to make a bad deal just to make a deal. And thats totally good business. When all that is out there are barrels to bend over, politely step away and look for other opportunities down the line to max your assets. They will come. Patience grasshoppers.

It's so rare in the modern NBA to find guys who can really puts up those type of stats.
A lot of people argue that those are empty stats, but I don't really buy that.

Love is legit.
I just don't know if his offensive game is built for the playoffs.

Exactly. Aldridge has a more polished back to the basket game and a strong go to move with that turnaround jumper. He also doesn't float out to the 3-point line like Love tends to do. Plus Aldridge has more mobility defensively to play in Thibs' system. Not that I'd say no to Love, but I'd prefer Aldridge.

Plus he has pretty awful defense.

Aldridge hasn't really shown that he has an offensive game built for the playoffs. In 18 playoff games he's averaged 18 points and 6 rebounds on 46% shooting.
By comparison Boozer has a career playoff average of 18 points and 11 rebounds on 49% shooting.
