Noah at PF?? I think Orlando will make Noah a key piece in that trade.

I thought so too, but apparently they plan on making Brandon Bass their center. With Boozer's ability to hit a mid-range jumper, he makes for a better compliment to Bass anyway. Very little sense in adding an offensively challenged Noah when both Boozer and he are signed at almost the same price for the Magic.

Cavs are working to get the 2nd overall pick.

This offer is supposedly on the table.

Cavs trade their $14.5 million trade exception to Detroit for Richard Hamilton and their 8th overall pick.

Cavs then trade their 4th and 8th selections to Minnesota for the 2nd.

Detroit gets rid of Rips contract and frees up tons of cap space. Minnesota is already vocal about moving their #2 and #4, #8 would help them draft by need instead of best available. Cavs would buy out Hamilton and he'd become a free agent.

An interesting take on D12 to Chicago taken from a February artictle:



The simple dream here is putting the fastest, most athletic point guard in the NBA with the most athletic big man in the game for the next decade.

And it could be a reality.

In the next two years, the Bulls could have four first round draft picks; they acquired Miami's 1st round pick in 2011 when they dealt James Johnson to Toronto earlier this week, and own a protected first round pick from Charlotte that could hit as early as the 2012 draft. They also still possess their own picks in the 1st round in each of the next three years.

The Bulls could package one of their starting big men - either Noah or Boozer - with three first round picks in a deal for Howard.

Consider the value going back to Orlando.

Either Noah or Boozer, both under contract, would be a better player than anyone involved in either the Anthony or Williams trades. Certainly the Magic would have to consider replacing their big man with an NBA starter, especially one the quality of either Noah or Boozer.

Considering his collegiate career at Florida, Noah might be a popular buy in the PR department in Orlando.

The kicker on this deal, though, is the picks.


Denver received one first round pick for Anthony. Utah received two for Williams. If the Magic were offered three first round picks on top of an All Star-caliber player, it would blow away the value either Denver or Utah received.

But take a step back as a Bulls fan. The knee-jerk reaction is to say "OMG! Three first round picks?!? No way!"

Think about it, though. Both the Bulls and Heat's first round picks in 2011 will be in the mid- to late-20s, certainly not where elite talent comes off the board in most drafts. Add to that the reality that the 2011 Draft doesn't appear to be overly strong, and what caliber talent are the Bulls potentially giving up on? Not much.

If the Bulls deal their first round pick in 2012, that would likely be the 30th pick in the first round; adding Howard to Noah/Boozer, Deng, Rose and Helen Keller is good enough to win. That lineup includes two of the top 10 players in the NBA and role players that can get you 18-20 points per night.

I can honestly say this is the first NBA game I've been excited about in quite some time. I'm drunk as fuck right now and can't wait to see the German Assassin light Lebron's punk ass up. :hybrid:

Go Dallas!

on paper it would appear the Front court game is a push, but Miami has been winning the battle this game so far. Dallas needs to win the fight in the front court if theyre going to have any shot cause Miami is going to win the Back court game no matter who Dallas puts out there
