Outside of Noah, there's not a package the Bulls can make that outweighs the Ws... IMO

Lebron was correct in choosing the Cavs this offseason. Miami always felt like Wade's team anyway, Lebron seemed to defer to Wade too much. With the Cavs, there is no question that they are his team, as it should be when you are the best player on the team. This was never the case in Miami.

Granted, there are not very many Kevin Love's currently in the NBA.

But, is this a wise move for the Bulls?

Minny might want Noah. But, they already have Pek on a 12mil a year contract.

Plus, Noah is everything that's right about Basketball. He plays hard, does any and everything necessary to win. Dude is the prototype for Bulls basketball. They shouldn't trade him.

The Bulls currently have a strong team with depth at every position.

All that goes to shit if they trade Taj, Jimmy and McBuckets for Love.

:agree: I don't see the Bulls would tinker with what could be a very good contending team.

Yeah, if Rose is Healthy, they have a solid chance at winning the East now that Indy has taken a step back.

Maybe they just don't want him to go to the Cavs?

Wiggins signed his contract, he won't be dealt anytime soon.

So did Randle. But, you still thought he could be dealt for Bledsoe:whistle:.

The Season won't start for several Months.

The way things are going, a Love deal probably won't get done, by any team, anytime soon.

The Cavs needed to get all their other deals done before they signed Wiggins because he puts them over the cap.

No matter what, Minny would be insane not to demand that he be part of the deal.

He would've had to have signed anyway, to make salaries match up. Still a long time before the start of the season.


Funny how you're bashing Love now, Deej, when you got a chub every time you mentioned Love to the Lakers this past season.

Some one please tell me why the Bulls want love. They have Gibson, Pau and Noah. We get love Gibson gets traded now u have an allstar on the bench. Who comes off the bench? Pau or Love? I don't get this move.

I just don't understand why the Bulls are trying to get into this trading race with Minn. It makes no sense. No way they trade Noah. Trade on the Table is Butler, Gibson and either MDJ or Snell and a 1st. No way I do that trade, Bulls would be giving up too much.

ESPNSteinLine: Cavs know it'll cost Wiggins/Bennett/future first to get Love. If Wolves insist on moving Kevin Martin with Love, more pieces must be added

I wouldn't mind a 3 team trade with Bulls, Minn and GS


Bulls: Trade 1st, Butler, Gibson and MDJ: Bulls get Klay
Min: trades Love and martin: Min gets Gibson, Butler, Barnes 1st from Bulls and 1st from GS.
GS trades Klay and Barnes, 1st: Martin, Love, MDJ


Something like that. Other pieces to try and make it work. Bulls need a SG, GS wants Love and Minn wants young players plus 1st rd picks. Every one wins.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it.

Pau could go to the bench and easily backup both Noah and Love.

But, Butler's inclusion would give me great pause.

McDermott could slide in for the other two.

But, who replaces Jimmy?

I don't think Gasol came here to be a back up.

Starting to look like it won't matter.

Maybe the Bulls rumor gave the Cavs the kick in the ass that they needed?

Cleveland's discussions with Minnesota have escalated with the Cavaliers' willingness to include No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins in the deal, sources said. Without Wiggins, there's no other combination of Cleveland players and picks that would interest Minnesota. Once Wiggins signs his rookie contract, a trade involving him can't be formally completed for 30 days. - Yahoo Sports


Sam Amico: One source familiar with Cavs-TWolves talks described them this way: "It's getting real." Twitter @SamAmicoFSO

I would not be surprised one bit, if Love is on the roster come the start of the season, nor would I be surprised if they kept him past the trade deadline.

There is no urgency on the Wolves' part to make any moves.
