Another Boozer three-way involving us.

by drosekillsall on Jul 14, 2009 12:21 PM CDT

Donnie Walsh says he has intensified negotiations with David Lee and Nate Robinson, and indicated if something isn't done this week, it may not get done at all. He also indicated that they had interest in aquiring Boozer. It is apparently a long shot because several teams are involved, including the Bulls. A three team deal has been discussed involving Kurt Hinrich.

My only questions are:

Where does Cappy go?

Do we get Boozer or Lee?

This is only a rumor as it is listed in the truth and rumors section on si.com

I can only hope that we manage to screw over the Knicks one more time, but sadly that was Pax's thing.

It's been done so much

that sometimes I forget what his real name even is anymore.

I think it's just a poorly written way

to say that the Bulls were involved in the previously discussed 3-team deal.

How did you manage to mispell Kirk's name when it's spelled correctly in the original quote?

And here’s the link, btw.

And even though it’s on SI, it’s originally from the NY Post… which makes it highly unlikely.

Who's Kirk?

say it with me people

your =/= you’re
their =/= they’re =/= there
our =/= are
kirk =/= kurt

do schools still teach english?

it is so frustrating that the best place to chat about the bulls is dominated by a whiny drama queen moderator with a man crush on an average SG......6 recs

I think the guy who wrote the story was mentioning the three team deal with Portland...

…not one that could happen with the Knicks. Unless in this trade the Jazz get Lee, the Knicks Hinrich and the Bulls Boozer. The Bulls could also get Lee and the Knicks Boozer, but anyone sees Hinrich in Utah with Williams there? Nah…

This is entirely off topic,

but KC Johnson is on 670 and just said in a league with no salary cap he wouldn’t trade Luol Deng for Gerald Wallace. Am I nuts or is that just plain stupid?

Take away his "bad" contract

and Luol is actually underrated at this point – he’s got a lot of potential to return to shooting form and he was a heckuva rebounder from the SF spot when he played last year….

Is that crazy? (fire away)

by RichKarp on Jul 14, 2009 1:35 PM CDT up reply actions

I like Luol at least AS much as Wallace

Does no one remember how well Deng was playing before he got hurt last year? He was averaging like 19 and 9 in January/early February. That’s better than Wallace, and Deng’s almost as good on D. Well, he’s not terrible.

by Rose Colored Goggles on Jul 14, 2009 2:11 PM CDT up reply actions

Im sorry but Luol has not been as good as Wallace.

Last year Wallace averaged 16.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG, and 2.7 APG. That is that his scoring average was down from the previous two years. He has averaged 7 or more rebounds for three years in his career. They are both injury prone so that equals out a bit.

Deng averaged 14.1 PPG, 6 RPG, and 1.9 APG. Deng has averaged 7 or more rebounds only once in his career

Add to that Wallace in the past three years has a better FG% slightly but still better. Wallace has also averaged more steals and blocks than Deng each of the past 4 years. I am of the differing opinion that Deng is over rated. He has never shown that he can play consistently at an allstar level as we hoped he would turn into 3 years ago. He is bad at creating his own shot and is not aggressive on the offensive end. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think Deng is a bad player I just don’t think he is as good as Wallace.

Luol is OVERRATED

His given us flashes of hope but not a full season yet.

2006-07 was a full season.

He might have had some minor injuries, I don’t remember, I just know it was a great one. 2007-08 was a fluke for everybody, and 2008-09 was good until he got injured. Luol is actually underrated, and I hope I don’t eat those words come next season.

by KJBidz on Jul 14, 2009 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions

Luol has never had a "great" season.

He’s had a couple of decent, maybe solid, seasons, but he’s never been great, nor will he ever be. I still don’t understand how anybody could have seen him becoming a perennial all-star, even with his series against Miami. An All-Star needs to be a guy that can get the ball and do something productive with it, while Luol needs to play in a system tailored specifically to his game. He’s a long, old school baller without that special level of athleticism that allows the better players in the game to be as good as they are. It’s somewhat rare for a non-special athletic specimen to become a star, or even occasional all-star. Look at this year’s all star rosters: Wade, Howard, Iverson, Garnett, James, Joe Johnson, Jameer Nelson, Danny Granger, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, Devin Harris, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, CP3, Kobe, Yao, Amare, Duncan, Dirk, Shaq, Roy, Billups, Gasol, West, Parker. They’re all in a different stratosphere than Luol.
I see Luol as a third, maybe fourth option on a good-great team.

by dakoose on Jul 14, 2009 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions

I agree with everything.

It was inaccurate for me to call him great, he was just good. And I never thought he would be a perennial all-star, but rather a third or fourth option on a good team, like you mentioned.

by KJBidz on Jul 14, 2009 3:56 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah, under the current rules, having a SF that can't handle or shoot the 3 seems like a handicap

Oh, and he can’t post up either.

by hitlesswonder on Jul 14, 2009 8:39 PM CDT up reply actions

But his midrange is money.

And he makes his defenders tired by running off screens.

by KJBidz on Jul 14, 2009 11:38 PM CDT up reply actions

He's not good unless he can shoot like he did in his career year

At this point, that year looks like a fluke

by hitlesswonder on Jul 14, 2009 8:37 PM CDT up reply actions

They both get hurt a lot.

and a lot of freaky injuries too.

What a miss leading title

It just involves Utah, the Bulls, and NY. I was nervous for a second.

The Kurt thing really makes me laugh for some reason

"Vinny continues to act like a crazed arsonist pouring gasoline on our season while running around carrying a torch yelling 'I’m in charge. Don’t any of you foolish knaves try to second guess me. I know gasoline is a liquid but I’m pretty sure it isn’t flammable and the odor gives me a natural high.'" - Tyrusmancrush

what about a sign and trade with the lakers? odom for hinrich? could sweeten the offer for wade to come sign with chicago since he has played with odom before..

by shoothoop on Jul 14, 2009 11:36 PM CDT reply actions

I really like the idea

by bravesdude on Jul 15, 2009 12:23 AM CDT up reply actions

sounded pretty good when i thought of it. i mean don’t both teams win? lakers get a point guard upgrade and the bulls get a pf plus a better chance at attracting wade in 2010.
