I have found our best trade scenario for what we need now (Perimeter Defense)

so how about we trade for Rose while we at it. Throw in Chandler, we get Rose and Deng

 

How do you know that's he's LOF?Oh I see because 13'ers,so how about you?what are you?HOF,BOF, this is what's wrong w/ the fans that branded other fans.

 

LMAO!

 

Make sure you don't say anything nice about lin since you are a 2013er. You're a lof unless proven otherwise. A picture of you at a rockets game wearing a rockets jersey pre-Lin would be helpful, and go a long way in establishing your credibility.

 

Deng will be a good fit IMO. But depends on who you'd willing to give up.

Jeremy and Asik? Heck no.

Maybe Asik + Brooks + DMO get it done. Chicago needs a PG.

 

It's crazy to trade JLin+Asic for a no All-Star

 

No way they are giving up Butler, they think of him as a franchise piece and he is a very good two way guard. And the salaries of Lin plus Asik don't equal Deng and I wouldn't want Deng anyway. Who knows, we might be able to get Deng in free agency for the MLE. But no to that trade.

 

This confirms what most of the forum has been saying for like a month now. Of course they will ship Deng. No dice on Butler.

 

You all think Chicago will blow it up and rebuild after this?

 

i think lin wud be hinrichs back up but hell get 20 mins a game

 

No way Hinrich would start over Lin. I'd start Nate Robinson over Hinrich at this point.

 

OP totally hijacked this idea from me. I posted this same scenario in one of the Omer Asik trade threads yesterday afternoon.

Deng + filler (if Lin included in trade) FOR Omer + Lin (if Bulls demand a starting PG in return).

I want my brownie points now. :grin:

/s

In all seriousness though, after seeing Brooks play tonight & how Lin was one of our few scoring options till the 4th quarter, I think we need to keep Lin.

I still like the option of Deng, but maybe for Asik plus a filler. And I might be wrong, but Brooks has a no trade clause & Garcia, a personal option in 2nd year, so I'm not sure they can work as trade fillers. That leaves filler options to Bev, Casspi, GSmith, TJones, etc... And depending on how much Bulls want a PG traded in the deal & how much Morey values Bev, Lin might just make the trade package. But I do like the addition of Deng!

 

You must not watch the Bulls a lot. Hinrich is a good defensive PG though, I'll give him that.

 

There's a thread where a potential Deng trade was being discussed last week, and someone posted something where league sources said CHI wouldn't want Asik back -- such that there would need to be a 3rd team involved. Not sure if DRose going down changes anything in that regard, but ijs.

 

Asik as a backup in Chicago is not the same as Asik being a backup here.

In Chicago, he and Gibson would close many games in crunch time over Noah & Boozer. He was incredibly important to that team and his talent on the defensive end was utilized correctly.

Thibs knows how to get 100% out of Asik, Mchale has no idea what to do with him. He probably thought this was NBA 2k early in the season and two 90 defensive rating players would = better defense {I'm joking}.

It's not so much about minutes, as it is how important and needed you are to the team.

In the Rockets' case, he's not so important anymore with Howard here, or so we think....
