    Not sure how likely such a trade is now after Olshey's recent deals, but Chicago does have some nice assets if Aldridge still wants out.

    Gee, really. Ya think that Portland may actually want to improve the team as opposed to giving away LMA for Boozer or Deng?

    What a great article. :MARIS61:

    Probably should be moved to the LMA wants to go to Chicago thread.

    Hey, I'll add to it. LMA/Lillard to Chicago for Boozer and some #1 picks. This makes the rebuild immediate, and puts the Blazers in a great spot for a 25% shot at Wiggins.

    The deal Cleveland offered was better. We have no rush in moving LA. The offers will also get better once tanking season is over.

    What a poorly written article. Surprised it wasn't coming from Bleacher Report by a Bulls fan. Awful

    Yahoo! contributor network. Pretty much the same thing as Bleacher Report. Was written by a Bulls fan.

    And, I would not be offering Mirotic along with anything for LMA.

    LMA is not a Bull. Guess why? Portland, like you guys, overvalues LMA, or undervalues the Bulls assets they'd offer.

    Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.

    LMA is a Blazer. Enjoy him. He's great.

    The same can be said about your view on the Bulls assets.

    Boozer? He's an amnesty candidate
    Butler? He's a backup in Portland
    Taj? Huge talent downgrade from LMA.

    IF/when LMA is on the block there will be much better offers. The CLE offer, for example, blows away the Bulls assets.

    Without a doubt! I could almost guarantee that we could get a top 5 first rounder+ an up and coming for Aldridge.

    Good luck with that. I'm more interested in beating the Heat.

    Mags has a hardon for the last Euro the Bulls snagged. Asik. I think Mirotic may turn out to be a basketball player.

    The Bulls are paying a LOT of Luxury Tax to not amnesty Boozer. I don't remember your name coming up during the last GM search by the Bulls.

    That's because the Bulls think they're close to a title and going all in this year. Portland is trying to make the playoffs. No GM in the NBA values Boozer more than LMA at this stage of their careers. If the Bulls fail this year, they will amnesty Boozer for 2014-15 unless some GM makes a desperate move for his cap-clearing contract.

    I don't think I'd tackle that job - Moving Boozer, who has negative value, is an impossible task.

    If Denny is going to disrespect Blazer fans like this it might be time for us to move to a different forum.

    My talent has won 86% of the games they played together (Deng, Rose, Boozer). How's your talent doing?

    In real reality, too.

    So why would you want to trade Boozer for LMA?

    If those three stay healthy, that team goes 71-11. Second best team ever!!
