Noah's my favorite player, but... His knee is said to be unsound. At best, it's iffy. This is all kinds of concerning since mobility is the key to his game. Though he's never been a scorer, his shooting numbers the last two seasons have been godawful. I kinda fear that Noah is part of the Bulls "Old Guard"...read: he looks at Rose as his "little brother." I no longer believe that the team is committed to Rose. Will he pull on the rope as hard for the Butler Bulls? The Bulls will need a center, but can you rely on Noah? How much of your available cap space would you use to keep him? If it comes to a choice between keeping Noah or Gasol, who do you choose? Which other centers might be on the market? Net, my guess is that Noah's days as a Bull are over.
I believe so unless they sign him at a bargain. Rumor has it they have given no indication to Gasol that they want to go in another direction next season either. I am uncertain as to whether Joakim will ever be the same as he was two years ago.
