Brad to Chicago?

[beb0p]

I hate to be the spoiler but there is no trade that can get us Noah without us giving up a future lottery pick or one of our young bigs. Miller + scrub is not going to get it done, even if we take on Noc's contract. I know the Bulls made dumb trades, but giving up Noah for Brad Miller would be a whole new level of dumbness for them.

As another poster already mentioned, this is Chicago's way to make a run at Wade; and Noc's contract is in the way. If they lose Gordon, it opens up cap space and make trading Noc less of a priority.

They will absolutely hold on to Noah and Tyrus Thomas as pieces for a sign and trade for Wade (or another big star). So in 2010, they have cap room, and if necessary, put forth a package of Hinrich and either Noah or Thomas.

In the meantime, they have to start winning to show peole that Chi-town is to be taken seriously. Miller will certainly fill a hole. So it's a win-win if they can trade Noc for Miller.

But it's a lose-lose for us. We trade away our starting center for a bench player with a longer contract? No Noah and maybe a #1 pick thrown in? The #1 is nice but is it worth taking on Noc? I don't think so. It's likely that with Miller and Rose in Chi-town, that pick is a late 1st. The type of pick that you can buy for much less than what you pay for Noc.

Any way you look at it Nocioni should not be wearing purple next year.

That is exactly my point. The Bulls traded Chandler to make room for a big-time FA (Ben Wallace).

Come 2010, they may trade away Noah for another big-time FA.

But Brad Miller!!??????????!!!!!!!!!

Find me one time where the Bulls traded away a young stud big man for an over-the-hill unathletic vet.

Couldn't agree more.

Ok here is just one. The bulls traded (youngsters at the time) Brad Miller, Ron Artest, Ron Mercer, and Kevin Ollie to the Indiana Pacers for Jalen Rose.

How many of you watch the NBA religiously? i'm talking NBA league pass and multiple hours a day studing stats... yes im a nerd and have no life outside the NBA. Noc is a very solid player. I TOTALLY agree that his contract and age are not optimal but he is a starting SF in this league. He is one of the best defenders in the game IMO. He is tenacious and a knock down 3 point shooter. IF we got Noc NOAH and a 1st, we are robbing them blind. Noc would be a wonderful addition in that case.

I think the first would have to be going the other way in that trade, like Brad and Houston's first for Noc and Noah. If Chi is really willing to give us all that for Brad, I'd be happy, but they have to have some idea of the value they would be trading away.
