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

Their is not many players in this draft better then Courtney Lee. Should not give him up for a mere pick.

 

No. They won't.


Noah for Lee would make the Pau Gasol to LA deal look legit.

 

Why oh why would someone snap and trade a player who was on his way to becoming an Eastern Conference AllStar before the injury, and is a future building block with Boozer/Rose, for someone who isn't an allstar? They're not that desperate, or they would've let Asik go.

One proposed trade was Asik and Bogans for Brad Miller and Lee.

Bogans are you kidding me? That would be a bad trade!

 

Why? AB sucks and Fynn sucks now but has upside.

We get a pick pack too. Flynn plays defense and is a pass first PG.

Also, AB is a cancer here and Flynn is known as being great in the lockerroom.

 

Holy crapola, are you just making stuff up for fun now? Where do you get any of this stuff?

AB has had a bad year. He's been distressed. A "cancer"? And Flynn is the best guy ever now?

Thank god none of you are GM. We'd be an ugly hybrid of Kahn plus Sterling after a lobotomy.

 

That has nothing to do with his value at this moment to them or us. Lets not bring that up again please. Ariza and his value compaired to Lee and his current value for Asik(rollseyes) are two different and completely opposite occasions. Thank you.

 

Not TERRIbad...we'd get the big guy we apparently want right this second in Asik and taking Bogans to get rid of Miller and his multi-year contract would be a good thing.

 

He's not known at all for his defense. In fact, the profiles of him prior to his draft sound eerily like the Aaron Brooks we all know and love.

Why don't you just write Ariza a love letter. Tell him how you feel.

 

Point taken. On that note I don't think that any player we get right now is for a win now mentality. We are going to start picking up pieces here and there and build again so I don't think any deal we make is really going to be for today.

 

Teams continue to call the Houston Rockets in an attempt to acquire Courtney Lee.

But the asking price of GM Daryl Morey remains the inclusion of a big man.

The Bulls are amongst the teams that have been most aggressive in their pursuit of Lee, but the club has been reluctant to include big man Omer Asik.

According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, the Bulls want to keep Asik.

One proposed trade was Asik and Bogans for Brad Miller and Lee.

 

Why are you guys bring this up right now? Ariza is better than Lee. Lee cant even get you Asik right now apparently. I bet Ariza could if we still had him. :grin:

 

I am actually a fan of the Flynn trade as long as we get equal value. as far as Flynn is concerned,he is as much of a leader as battier, he just doesn't do the intangible things like battier. Plus we don't really him to produce at a high level as a backup, as long as he pushes the tempo and find open man, which is pretty much the same way brooks is being effective right now.

 

give bogans t will's current rotation minutes if he is traded to houston.

 

If I have to choose between Thabeet and Asik, I'd take the latter any day. I still am not sure if I would give up Lee for Asik. I guess if they throw in Charlotte's pick, I'll bite.

 

If the Bulls are not willing to trade a guy like Asik for Lee then they should not even bother making any trades. Asik should not have as much trade value as Lee.

 

I'd do it just t get rid of brad millers contract. Its not big but it's about 3 years too long.

 

Big's will always have value at the end of the day because there is such a lack of them.

 

Thank you. I have been saying this over and over. Morey should move on. Chicago cant win a Championship without a player like Lee at SG at least starting. They can win with Noah at center and no Asik. With a huge zero there at SG they stand no chance though. At least Courntey Lee is decent enough to put in there at times to guard starters and provide some scoring. Completely opposite fields of thinking here. They actually need what we got because we arent competing like they will anytime soon. We can wait because its gonna take some time now to rebuild.
