Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Dalembert?

From Sam's Latest

Though Bulls fans keep talking about guys like Chris Kaman, I think one guy you probably can get is the 76ers’ Samuel Dalembert. He's produced better lately, at least 13 rebounds in four of the last six games, though the 76ers have lost three straight. Dalembert was something of the inspiration for Tyson Chandler's contract as Chandler's representatives held out until they went a bit better than Dalembert given the similarity of their play. The 76ers have even used rookie Marreese Speights at more crucial times and in need of perimeter shooting, a Bulls strength, perhaps there is a deal to be made? Larry Hughes and Joakim Noah? Though would you want Dalembert's two years and $25 million after this season? But that's the kind of centers more likely available.

Seems like the anwser is no, it'd be pretty crappy to take his contract for 2010. But how bout instead of Hughes one of our longer contracts.

First I dreamed up: This

Not sure they'd trade Miller but not sure he is their PG of the past this year either. They gain some shooters & take on salary next year, but they'll have to spend on a PG anyways. We might have to sweetness this more.

This seems like a solid start

I'd want more to ditch Noah, but getting rid of Noc would be great.

We need someone like Dalambert.

I’d prefer to give them Gray. I think Dalambert can help but I don’t like getting Dalambert’s contract . I love the thought of giving up Noc. I’d be reluctant to give up Noah. I know Hinrich has this long contract that would be good to get rid of but I thought he was playing well when he went down. This raises the interesting question of 2010 for us. Do we expect to be a serious player in 2010? Does the ownership support Paxson going for broke in 2010? Would we do better off making trades now and taking a player whose contract extends beyond 2010 because other teams are waiting for 2010?

I believe Dalambert can help us but can we make a deal that makes taking on his contract worthwhile? I do not know and am interested in others opinion.

we drop Gooden's 7 mill to keep BG

if we can ditch Noc’s contract and add it to Hughes 12m, we have enough to make a run for a tier two FA in 2010.

I think we can…

Sure we could have a shot with some planning

could even do it while making a trade like the first one. Gotta dump Kirk & Noc tho to do it.

Why do we need

Another Ben Wallace?

Personally, I say pass…..especially with the 2.5 yrs left on Dalembert’s contract. Tyson has lived up to his contract (at least the 2 yrs prior to this year’s slow start for Tyson)…..Dalembert played a bit better last year but it seems to be all for nothing as he’s playing like shit.

Personally, I’d rather just see 30-35 MPG of Noah, as I still believe Noah has much higher upside and is cheaper.

Dalembert at his best has been about like Chandler at his worst

I wouldn’t trade Noah for him under any circumstances. Noah’s going to become more consistent, and he’s signed long-term for cheap.
