Chicago is close to aquiring Courtney Lee (UPDATE: Not close, Rockets want big man)

I'm hoping they fold in the 11th hour.

The pressure's mounting...

 

Bulls are making a mistake if they rejected that deal. Hoping that was the Bulls offer and Rockets were pushing for more though.

 

Size is valuable in the NBA right now. Lakers have size. Chicago needs size to combat size.

 

Size is a premium in the NBA.

 

Let alone Asik is half the value or player Courtney Lee is? Courtney Lee is their starter they plan to START!

 

So basically, they want us to give them their starting shooting guard for a big-time playoff run, and they want to give us back NOTHING that we want?? Sounds dandy.....

 

I hope this rumor is done even though chi really wants clee and may cave in

 

I'm in favor of doing that deal just to stop the flirtation with trading for Thabeet.

 

They have Ronnie Brewer who is a decent sized guy who could give his best to guard Kobe. At the end there is really no one that is going to guard Kobe.

Also the guy is a backup to Noah and is young guy who hasn't learned anything. They have to see something in him to draft him and also not give him up that easily.

 

Pretty sure we are the ones in the dominate position. We wont be competing this year....Chi town will. If they want Lee, we can wait until they deal or fold.

 

I hated Rafer, I was surprised he had any trade value at all, Lowry was great pick up for us :grin:

Morey is desperate for a center right now and teams are exploiting his desperation to their advantage

 

Agreed. I do not like that deal AT ALL.

 

Just like a good ole poker game. You gotta love it. :grin:

 

more I think about it...lee for asik prob makes sense

specially if the opposite is we get thabeet.

Theres not big in the draft either...

i think we break down send lee and asset for asik

 

any Asik highlights? is he just another lame big?

 

Doesn't matter. For a full 7 game series, rotations get smaller. Asik would be useful vs a Boston, Orlando or Miami.

 

How about we ask for Noah and Brewer in return for Lee and Miller and we throw in NY 2011 1st rounder to sweeten the deal for them... Just some wild speculations here..

 

Nope. it was a friend of mine who covers the Bulls in local press.

Now did he get it from RealGM/ESPN board? No clue. Should I ask next time? Yes I should.

 

The thing is that Morey doesn't apparently give in that easy and hasn't just pulled the trigger to make a deal. He is most likely holding out for a better deal and I tend to reserve judgment till after I have seen the player we get play.

I have been on both sides of it. I have seen everyone happy as hell when we get someone like Bonzi and Swift, then call bloody murder. I also have seen when we get someone and they hate the move only to love it the next year.

So i just say wait it out and see if it pans out before we start attacking everyone.

 

Not a big deal, I was just curious. Sounded like it came from a CHI town source though.
