Bulls resentful of Howard's dislike, turn to Gasol, Lakers not so interested

Bulls resentful of Howard's dislike, turn to Gasol, Lakers not so interested
As I [and most of the rest of the world] have reported for quite some time, Dwight Howard is not interested in joining the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls would like to make a deal for him but are unwilling to do so without assurances he'll stay past this season. Mark Stein says the Bulls are looking to swap Carlos Boozer for Pau Gasol as a consolation prize. Surprisingly [/sarcasm], the Lakers are not all that interested... Read more »

Magic want to trade Dwight to Chicago, but Dwight says no?

Magic want to trade Dwight to Chicago, but Dwight says no?
It's not clear where Ken Berger is quoting an offer or whether he's simply speculating, but Dwight Howard is blocking a trade to the Chicago Bulls which looks like it could get done otherwise. If this package is legit. I'm making this trade whether Howard agrees to stay or not... Read more »

Would you trade Deng and Brewer for Melo?

Let's ignore the fact that swapping Melo + Chandler for Howard + Turkoglu makes a world more sense for them and probably works for Orlando as well. Let's also ignore the fact that the Knicks almost certainly say no to this trade. If this were on the table, and you had to live with it contractually and on the court do you do it... Read more »

Does Rose want to play with Gasol?

Does Rose want to play with Gasol?
The initial report came out of Spain. I didn't even comment on the initial post because the idea of a Spanish newspaper [which might be close to Gasol, but not Rose] commenting on Rose's demands seems like completely made up garbage. Rose won't lobby for Dwight Howard, but he's going to lobby for Pau Gasol... Read more »

Should the Bulls trade with the Celtics?

Could the Celtics look any more done than they have this season? Granted, a compressed schedule is toughest on an aging team, but the Boston Celtics look truly finished. This is not a team that will go anywhere in the playoffs and may even miss them. The big three era is over... Read more »

If options dry up, trade for J.J. Redick

If options dry up, trade for J.J. Redick
The Bulls need another SG, they were obviously highly interested in J.J. Redick last season as they were willing to bed three years and twenty million dollars on him. The Magic, in an attempt to go for the ring, matched the offer... Read more »

Kidnap Dwight Howard and force him to fall in love with us

Kidnap Dwight Howard and force him to fall in love with us
Dwight Howard doesn't want to come to Chicago. He doesn't want to play second fiddle to Derrick Rose, nor does he want to deal with the Chicago winter. As such, the Bulls need to set this up like a romantic comedy. We'll kidnap Dwight Howard, take him on a crazy adventure and have him fall in love with us... Read more »

Is it time to trade big for small?

Is it time to trade big for small?
The Chicago Bulls need to make a significant upgrade in the backcourt in order to improve the squad to get past Miami. They'll also be facing a far stiffer cap system when basketball finally rolls around again. One solution to those problems is trading big for small... Read more »
