I think they really want to make room for Niko.

That and Noah likely doesn't fit in Hoiberg's system.

Hoiberg's system may require knees

I'll believe it when I see it, and will be shocked if it's for anything more than a better contract and/or a pick.

Gibson is the better player, but it'd hurt to see Noah in a different uniform.

I don't see it. Trading one leaves us dangerously thin in the front court should whomever remains gets injured.

I can't barely wait to learn how much flexibility is going to help us moving forward.

I am sure Bulls are doing "this" already with some agreement with Hoiberg. I am sure Hoiberg wouldnt accept the job if he isnt involved or informed at least with FO moves.

NO doubt. I'm wondering why Hoiberg talked to the Magic though.

My guess would be having all options open. It's probably one of difficult decisions in his life.

If this is the case this off season is off to a great start

Sign Jimmy now and Bring on the draft!

Already excited about next season

They will probably try and dump one or both for cap space to use to re-sign Jimmy to the max and free up the full MLE.

That said, I desperately wish there was a way we could get the Clippers interested in doing a sign and trade for DeAndre Jordan.

So u want a guy shooting 30 free throws and making 10..I love his athleticism and defense but I don't want to watch him shoot 30 free throws. I'm fine without him.

I know Noah is on the decline but I hope Bulls can find a way to keep him for cheap in 2016-2017, but if they can get something really good for him, go for it

This isn't even Sheridan reporting it - it's a guy who wrote a mock draft for the site who said under the explanation for the Bulls pick that he hears the Bulls are looking to move a big.

Jesus F'ng Christ. This isn't news and is nothing more than some scrub reporters speculation.

I went to the Clippers board and they verified with me that they would be more than willing to do a

DeAndre and Jamal for Noah, Gibson, Snell and a future 1st, even if DeAndre didn't demand the max.

That's the type of trade I feel we should look for. He's a defensive monster and he helps us consolidate players for a really good one while also freeing up space for Mirotic as the 3rd big and McDermott.

Yeah, sounds like someone who writes on these boards

Yeah right, this front office believes the team on the court underachieved because of coaching. I find it hard to believe that either are traded when the front office seems rather satisfied with the talent now.

It doesn't mean they're going to find a match but it falls with what I've been hearing.

He still shot better FT's than Noah did this post-season.

He's not without flaws but you can't leave him on offense for fear of alley oops or dunks like you can with Joakim, and he's still one of the best interior defenders in the league. I'd certainly take him if LA was willing to swing a deal.

Good to hear, but I'll believe it when I see it. Probably will be nothing more than a salary dump anyways.

Would like to see our FO get creative and not just to save money.

They are getting a new coach, it's the best time to make a move.

The Bulls want to add shooting and get more athletic

Even with poor free throw shooting, he gives the Bulls a far better offensive option than Joakim. He can actually catch and dunk the ball and doesn't try to play PG. He's a cheetah in the open court, would definitely fit the Hoiberg shoot and dunk system as well. I'd easily trade for him considering that he also is as dominant on the boards and defensively as Dwight Howard.

With that said, if Cousins was available, I'd go after him.
