Huge if it ended up going through. Only if he can lose the ****ty attitude and bring some intensity out on the court.

Now if we don't have to give up Marshon, then i'm all for it. The Knucklehead is better than the stiffs we got out on the court now. Plus...he rebounds. No really. He rebounds. Something the Nets don't do.

Seriously doubt this would happen since the Bulls were reluctant to trade for Melo last year. Even though some of the scenarios he presented did make sense.

All valid points, but I think with the emergence of Brewer as a scoring threat, or at least what he has shown in these first 7 games and Rip starting to find his groove, the Bulls will elect to keep their front court depth and roll the dice with what they have. Which still looks pretty good to me.

If it does happen and they trade for Ellis, which for all I know could be in the works right now, then that works too lol

Former Clipper players sound off on LAC

“All you do is take the man’s word and take that he said that no one is going to go anywhere,” Gordon told Yahoo! Sports. “… To completely lie like that is something unprofessional.”

Said Gordon: “They literally told me as an organization that they wanted to keep me, and [the trade still] went down?”

Chris Kaman: “The Clippers didn’t tell me anything. They didn’t tell me I was traded or nothing after eight years. They didn’t have the guts to come tell me they traded me.”

“They’re very professional,” Kaman said. “I’m not used to that. No, serious. It was an adjustment. After eight years [with the Clippers], I didn’t know it could be like this. I wasn’t used to it. The way they handle business … they’re up front with you and they tell you what’s going on and what’s going to happen.”

Wait. What's so funny, I wonder?

Funny that Kaman didn't know what a real professional management team felt like. Basically just spat right in the face of LAC's ownership.

I think that was the point.

I don't see how the Bulls could possibly justify trading for Ellis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he a bit of a headache character wise? Also he's used to splitting the primary scoring role at worst in a shoot-whenever-you-feel-like-it offense. Would he be willing to actually take a clear-cut backseat to Rose in a more structured system? I can see them maybe working for a season or two, but after a while I'd imagine that relationship would get frayed. Truthfully where he'd be best is coming off of the bench, and I kinda doubt that'll happen.

The Bulls are sitting SO pretty right now. They need to just let it ride for the season, see what happens, and hope that the Bobcats lose every game this season. Chances are that pick is going to be top 7. They've still got the amnesty clause (which is hanging over Boozer's head like the sword of Damocles) and they're young. Even if it doesn't work out this year they've got plenty of wiggle room to do something in the off season

Bobcats pick is protected.

Also Rose new extension almost certainly puts them in cap territory next season if I recall correctly.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

I think Taj Gibson's development on offense is gonna determine whether they use the amnesty clause on Boozer. It wouldn't make any sense, unless they would be able to pick up another PF with offense and better defense than Boozer next year.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Man, I forgot we still have that amnesty clause laying around.

Maybe the Bulls are thinking about it with the reduced minutes that Boozer has been getting late in games.

Y! Sources: Golden State determined to be bidders for Dwight Howard as a rental, willing to sell him on long-term.

I'm tellin' you, up until he got traded, other than the whole CBA issue at the time, what's the difference between this right now and the entire Melo situation? You'd be surprised at how similar they are up until Melo got traded.

Ellis would probably have to be a part of a deal to get DHoward
