    Since J. Williams is likely to be sidelined for next season or even for good, Bulls is in need of a guard. Do you think we can

    1)sell Moochie to them for Curry? or
    2)Cat for Marshall and swap our #35 pick for their #7 pick?

    Curry fill in the PF position, not a great one, but has potential. Besides, Moochie is of no use to Rox anyway.

    Marshall and Posey will make a great combination for SF position. Then we can trade Rice without much concern. I expect Nachbar take fill in the 2 position next year, so we don't loose much by trading Cat.

    Why would Chicago do this deal? They have Crawford already and they just wanted Williams availible for a trade potential.

    I don't think the Bulls are dumb enough to trade Moochie for Eddie Curry.And I also don't think the Bulls would want Mobley when they have Rose. They are exact identicals of each other.

    Funny you mention that.

    I heard that the Bulls have kept offering the Rockets Curry for Moochie Norris over the last year or so. The Rockets keep turning the deal down though. Moochie is the Bulls #1 offseason priority. Chicago will fight tooth and nail to win a bidding war for Moochie.

    I think Orl will win the Moochie sweepstakes, after they toss in T-Mac.

    Neverthless, words from Chicago camp is in the past 48 hours, they have changed their draft plan and now they are looking for a guard! That means they do need one!

    They are salivating at the thought of adding Moochie Norris. I pray that the Rockets reject the Bulls offer of Curry.

    Moochie should retire as a Rocket. It would be a shame if the Rockets let him go for only Curry. The Bulls better add more to the trade. There's only 1 Moochie Norris.

    Curry is one of the most "untouchable" players in the league. Hes only 20 and led the league in FG % I believe. Him and Chandler are the cornerstones of that franchise no way they trade him unless they get an est. superstar in return. If I understand this right you want Eddy Curry and all the Rox would trade is Moochie Norris?If I have that right thats by far the most absurd trade idea ive seen on the BBS.
    Mobley for Marshall is a pretty even trade. The bulls wouldnt throw in their #7 pick. If it was straight up than maybe. But Id much rather have the younger and cheaper Cat.

    The Bulls will do everything they possibly can to bring in Moochie. He'll be the Bulls biggest draw since MJ.

    There are going to be guys <b>undrafted</b> that can do what Moochie does (or even better) and at a much lower salary.

    Lets see if the Bulls do in fact want a PG in the draft. Which one would you rather have.

    A. TJ Ford and Eddy Curry

    B. Kirk Hinrich and Eddy Curry

    C. Reece Gaines and Eddy Curry

    D. Luke Ridnour and Eddy Curry

    E. Moochie Norris



    Im guessing they would not pick E.

    Alright, forget the Moochie trade proposal. I just had a slim hope that somebody still can see some value on Moochie although he pretty much has none.

    I think everyone else has completely annihilated your trade proposal, but I gotta chime in. Moochie for Curry would be like us trading Yao for Fred Hoiberg. Basically the guy with the least upside for a guy with the most upside.

    Trade #2 would also never happen. Marshall for Cat straight up might work (not sure about salary/contract wise), but they won't throw in their #7 for our #35.

    wow.. so this trade is a no, i'm guessing. besides, with Fizer still recovering from a torn achilles (or was it an ACL?), the bulls will need to hire Scott Layden as their GM before this would happen. hmm... maybe the Rocks can work a sign and trade with Pete Chilcutt or Chris Jent for Curry :p

    Seriously, why did the Rockets pay the Little Dribbler $22 Million? Who exactly were they trying to outbid? :confused:

    Moochie was playing good his contract season.I don't know what happened to him this pass season but he needs to go back to his old ways.

    But Cato did turn it around this pass season. Here's hoping Moochie does better this season coming up.
