Why was this deal not done - Bulls/Thunder 2012 

Post#1 » by JordansBulls » Thu Nov 7, 2013 7:50 pm

Bulls traded Noah and Deng to the Thunder for James Harden and Kendrick Perkins.

This would be an ideal trade for both the Thunder and the Bulls.

Thunder would have a lineup of:

PG Westbrook
SG Thabo
SF Durant
PF Ibaka
C Noah

6th man Deng


Bulls would have a lineup of:

PG Rose
SG Harden
SF Butler
PF Boozer
C Perkins


That is a win win situation for both teams and both teams would be in much better situation for the season and playoffs.

Because the Thunder can not pay Harden. So what makes u think they can pay the other two?

what we supposedly offered Harden and given Perkins existing contract. the numbers would be fairly similar to what Noah+ Deng would make.

I guess if such a deal was offered, Chicago wasn't that convinced of Harden abilities yet and Perkins was already a negative.

No way that works financially.

Rose + harden - Perkins is worse than rose + Noah + deng
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
