Why not make it a 4 way?

Chicago In: LMA / Garnett
Chicago out: Hamilton / Gibson / Luol

Portland in: Horford / Hamilton
Portland Out: LMA

Boston in: Luol / Lou Williams
Boston out: Rondo / Garnett

Atlanta in: Rondo / Gibson
Atlanta out: Horford / Lou Williams

Interesting but idk man lol. And wouldnt have KG be kinda redundant? Im sure he wouldnt have a problem coming off the bench, but I know hes said he doesnt want to play C...just like LA

He definitely would be coming off the bench and hopefully be okay being used on however Thibs needs him.

Are there any picks going out or is this an all player based trade?

Time to save pierce and kg from Boston.

I'm not interested in trading for the 36 & 37 year old duo.

I would if it meant pairing them with an MVP an Allstar and Butler. All athletic and young.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that it's really quite right now?

Good if you're excited about drafting Tim Hardaway Jr or a backup center from Kansas or something.

A deal can still be made. I remember hearing talks about Vince Carter and Dallas pick coming our way. if Shabaz/KCP falls maybe we can pick them up.
if this deal doesn't go through there is still a lot to be excited about as a bulls fan.

LMA is my second favorit player though..

Quick random proposal to make portland happy:

Portland out: LMA
Portland in: Lopez

Nets out: Wallace, Lopez
Nets in: Deng, Boozer

Chicago out: Boozer,Deng
CHicago In Wallace LMA

throw in the bobcats pick if needed.

Blazers fan here. I understand you guys are excited about possibility of getting LMA. He'd be giving you 22 and 8 every night. However there is not a chance we accept a trade where Deng or Gibson are supposed to be the big piece coming back. LMA is here for 2 more years, it's not like he's about to expire.

I think the only trade that happens is if you guys trade Noah for LMA. It's not as cool to dream about but we've been offered good offers from Cleveland, supposedly rumors about Blake for LMA being talked about and maybe Kevin Love(we'd have to add obviously). It's not like Chicago are the only team offering something and you're going to have beat out those other offers.

LaMarcus Aldridge hopes the Portland Trail Blazers can improve their roster before the start of the 13-14 NBA season. If that does not happen, Aldridge would prefer a trade.

Sources say Aldridge would prefer a trade to the Chicago Bulls.

The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers would be two other teams high on Aldridge's list.

"LaMarcus loves Portland," said the source. "He spent seven years there and grew as a man. Him going back is a possibility and he knows that. He's a professional, it wouldn't be an issue."

Griffin for LA straight up is something both teams should do. If the Clippers want LA we have no chance. CP3 and LA will dominate the NBA

If we're living out fantasies - I'd rather leave Portland out and just get Horford. He's the better player anyways.

Of course I'm an Aldridge guy being from Portland but I'm not sure how Horford is better than Aldridge?

Horford - 17 points, 10 rebs, 3 ast, 1 blk
Aldridge - 21 points, 9 rebs, 2.6 ast, 1.2 blk

why not just keep Lopez? we dont need to be Portland's lackeys to get them a younger player of equal if not better value.

I'm assuming nothing of substance has been posted since yesterday? The Wiretap Article is the last thing we've been going on. Welp I guess I'm not expecting anything to happen tonight then.

Aldridge - 21 points, 9 rebs, 2.6 ast, 1.2 blk

Horford is more efficient, career .571 TS% vs Aldridge's .537. And Horford is a better defender.

They're simalar, so why get one to trade for the other? Plus Horford has an existing realtionship with Noah, and is a better rebounder.

Horford can and does play the 5, and is better defending both positions. Horford has a .560 TS% compared to LMA's .530. He's also younger.

[patryk7754]

at 6'11 LA can play center

Good Luck with your trade then. I'm sure LAC and Minny cant wait to trade their younger/better PF for LMA.

Bulls are going to blow it again!!!!! What else is new!

Paxson an gar sitting on their hands with a big smile on their face thinking they are going to win a championship with current squad lol my goodness

[Chitownbulls]

[Chitownbulls]
