    Best record in the NBA 2 straight years.

    112-36. 47 wins without Rise and a bench full of D Leaguers (and Taj and Butler).

    Coach doesn't put the ball in the basket. Talent is required.

    Ask CLE if they'd trade the #1/#19 for Boozer.

    :lol:

    See, you way overvalue your talent.

    The Bobcats pick is how the Bulls can bring in a quality young player, even if their own pick us (like usual) in the 20s.

    Have you figured out yet that NOBODY is offering what you think LMA is worth.

    Good luck finding a sucker.

    Do you have a point, or are you happy to say stupid things that are strawman?

    45 wins, actually.

    You forgot the All-Star Noah and the Olympian Boozer. It's not like Chicago had Portland's bench, and they had more veteran talent starting last year.

    I also didn't realize that Nate Robinson, Marco Bellineli, and Taj Gibson are D-Leaguers.

    It's a great example.

    You try to pawn off Boozer like he actually has any value.

    LMA has value. It really doesn't matter if you think he's overvalued or not. Notice Neil isn't jumping at your garbage?

    i'm really not too sure why some Blazers fans are so insistent we trade LaMarcus now. according to his own words, he's not asking to be traded; rather, he wants to see improvement. if the time comes where we do need to look at a trade, next summer would not be too late. he's got two years left on his contract. let's give it another year.

    oh, and i certainly don't want N.O. to take trade advice from a Bulls fan.

    Naturally, it would boil down to what's to be gotten by trading him. I would imagine NO's weighing out all of the potential scenarios - both, in regard to this season and next. :dunno:

    that makes sense. i guess the confusing part is the assumption that we can get more for him this summer rather than next.

    Exactly!! Why trade LMA now for the same freaking contract, yet with a lesser player? Noah won't stay in Portland, and Boozer is on his last big contract. The only good thing about Boozer is the $16m owed him for 2014-15, but LMA's expiring would be a better asset, anyhow, since any team that gets him would hold his Bird rights on his next contract. Nobody is going to offer Boozer a max deal once his current contract is up. He's dead weight after this season, except for the cap space. Portland can keep LMA and still have the option of trade or cap space by letting his deal expire.

    Why are we still talking about Chicago? Of all the rumors, Chicago makes the least sense. Bringing in someone like Noah makes no sense if Aldridge is gone.

    This had already been brought up, but would you trade Aldridge, Matthews, and a pick (negotiable) to GS for Lee, Thompson, and Barnes?
