    Fat jokes will not be tolerated and should be viewed as a personal attack. Sly, handle this and take out the trash :)

    He's basically calling himself an American born white center from Illinois.

    I think Noah would love it in Portland.

    However, I'd like to see something like: sign LMA, trade for Taj, sign JR Smith (and start him), sign Deng.

    You sure? He seems the flamboyant type that requires limelight. I don't think the tree hungers and bicycle riders in Portland is appealing to him

    Indiana with Hibbert has 52 mil in salaries. If we trade 5 mil Kaman and 10 mil in cap space in Hibbert would help Indiana to move on without Hibbert and West. They would drop to 42 mil, with 24 left to retool.

    For MLE or less kind of money, you get an extraordinary 3PT shooter and scorer to replace Wes' shooting.

    Given the cap/roster puzzle as it is, I don't see a better guy to get. Do you?

    Next summer, another draft and MLE and BAE to add depth.

    The streakiness scares the hell out of me. I would much rather having a guard that is a more dynamic scorer. I know JR can score at the rim, but he tends to fall in love with contested jumpers.

    FWIW, to get Taj, I think the Bulls would accept salary and at least $4M in cap relief.
