Happy Trade deadline morning: Lee, Mayo, Parker, still rumored SG additions

Print[ From the Fanposts. I figure news will carry the day, but there was nothing too juicy this morning, beyond what was established in the JJ trade: Bulls have more assets, looking to acquire someone on a rookie deal with space+picks in favor of trading a rotation player (or Omer Asik, heh). A report out of Memphis is that a Korver-for-Mayo swap was discussed.
Other NBA trade rumors can go here, and if there's a confirmed deal feel free to create a new post. Until there's a juicier Bulls rumor, we'll use this for all our Bulls trade dreams. Sports2 has his dream below. -ed.]
How the Griz will get us C. Lee...
The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports this morning that
The Grizzlies had serious discussions Wednesday with the Houston Rockets regarding a proposed deal that would swap second-year center Hasheem Thabeet for forward Shane Battier.
A deal would hinge on Memphis' willingness to also include a future first-round draft pick in its bid to reunite with Battier. The Griz failed in their initial attempt to acquire Battier earlier this year and may try to enlist a third team to avoid sending the Rockets a pick.
Battier, who was Memphis' first draft pick in 2001, played five seasons for the Griz, averaging 10.5 points and 4.8 rebounds. He was traded to the Rockets in July 2006 in the deal that brought Rudy Gay to the Grizzlies.
That could make it easier for the Rockets to also trade with us without us giving up a big. The finances are important to look at. The Rockets are $3.6M over the tax line at $73.7M. Battier ~ $7.4M for Thabeet ~ $4.8M sheds $2.6M off the Rockets cap number. Close, but not quite under.
However, if we came along and took Lee's ~ $1.4M for picks, that would seem bring their cap number down to $69.7M - under the luxury tax. It saves them a good $7-10M dollars in luxury tax payments and so forth.
Rockets send Battier to Memphis and Lee to Chicago. Memphis sends Thabeet to Houston and the Bulls send two picks to the Rockets. Everyone is satisfied. Bulls get Lee. Rockets get a young big, two picks, and lots of savings. Memphis gets a Rudy Gay replacement for their playoff run.
This makes lots of sense for all involved

Are you thinking our two firsts this year?
Or the Bobcats pick and a first this year?

If the report is true. And we’ve been in talks with both teams, so it shouldn’t be much of a stretch to think that it could get done.

Rockets-Grizzlies discussions on Battier-for-Thabeet plus pick, reported by Commercial-Appeal, “definitely has legs,” source in talks says. less than 20 seconds ago via web
Yeah, Mayo is starting to sound more attractive.
After watching Thibs treatment of Asik last night. I have no fucking idea what that was about. 30 seconds my ass. He needs to play.
Battier plays the right position, but he doesn't replace Gay's shot creating ability
Mayo is the only guy that can do that for them. They ain’t gonna trade him. Reports are consistently saying that, and logic tells us that too.
Which is good, IMO, because he’s a huge risk.

I like where your going
What about
HOU – Thabeet, Bogans, + Pick
MEM – Shane B, C. Lee
CHI – OJ
This is the trade I've been saying for the past week.
Bulls Get: OJ Mayo
Grizzlies Get: Shane Battier + Courtney Lee + Bulls 2011 First
Rockets Get: Hasheem Thabeet + Keith Bogans + Heat’s 2011 First

Maybe, but that only works if they're swinging another deal for a star-type player
I can’t see them giving up that much talent for two guys that won’t crack their rotation this year.

Thabeet in Houston
Bring back Hakeem to teach Thabeet. If Hakeem thought Dwight Howard was difficult to teach post moves too….
Getting drunk on the trade machine
Bulls get em both and lose Bogans
CHI: OJ, LEE
MEM: Battier, K Thomas
HOU: Thabeet, Bogans, + charlotte pick + this years pick
Okay I need to walk away from the trade machine…
OJ and Lee?

I know no one wants to get rid of asik
but i see it as this. No matter what at most he will play 10 minutes a game. So i really do believe we can find a center to log into 10 minutes a game, but we dont have a guard we can give starters minutes to and be productive every night. I am willing to trade him and hope we can find a back up center because our biggest need is guard and center is where we have depth at as of now
But it's not just about logging minutes.
Omer provided a lot eveything Noah gave us. Just not at that level. If something were to happen Noah again we’d be screwed depending on OG and Taj. Plus after this season I really don’t see Thomas sticking around. The problem is Thibs not playing him for a vetern who in his books brings more to the game.
ou always were second best! And in this business, Bub, second best don't *cut* it!
by Yibs on Feb 24, 2011 9:08 AM CST via mobile up reply actions
Cluprits. Jesus. They could be the cluprits instead of the culprits anyhow.
Becuase sometimes I don’t know what the fuck Thibs is doing with the rotations. They can be fucking cluprits for all I know. He’s that confusing.
This is a huge overreaction
First, it was only 1 game. Second, we want Asik for more than just this season. As much as we all love him, he is still really raw right now. He is pretty brutal on offense still. Just because Thibs isn’t playing him now doesn’t mean he doesn’t have value to the team.
It's not an overreaction to one game..
People (me included) bitch about the rotations every game, regardless if we’re winning or losing. They are confusing, and I completely agree with Dogfish.. I have no clue what he’s doing half the time.
I still like the guy as a coach overall, but I think we can all agree he’s made some questionable decisions in his first year. Which I don’t think is a surprise, he’s never been a head coach before, but that doesn’t mean people can’t complain about it.
by Grinder in Training on Feb 24, 2011 9:55 AM CST up reply actions
The Asik thing is mostly one game
He has come on lately, but at the beginning of the season he fouled too much to get much more time.
He said his rotations..
Rotations plural, would mean he’s referring to more than one game.
by Grinder in Training on Feb 24, 2011 10:58 AM CST up reply actions
Truth
I mean he been good on pretty much all aspects of the game coaching wise. But something so obvious as player management is terrible because of his stubbornness. It started and continues with Blowgans and hope Asik isn’t gonna get caught up in the Kurt Thomas veteran presence crap.
ou always were second best! And in this business, Bub, second best don't *cut* it!
Oh it isn't a matter of Asik not having value. I love Asik.
He’s great. It’s just that, historically speaking, Thibs favors vetrans who suck ass, for some reason. And I’m not throwing Sexy under the bus; I like him to, for what he is. Old, Plodding, Tough ass. But, Asik has to get some minutes. More minutes than half a minute. And it could be an overreaction, but understand that once Thibs makes up his mind about something, well, I mean.You know.
"Historically"?
He’s been coach for all of 1/2 a season. The only “veteran” he’s really favored is Bogans, and Bogans still hasn’t gotten a ton of minutes.
You're correct. He has been the coach 1/2 a season. And bogans has started 1/2 a season.
And this, friend is 1/2 a season too long. But in a few minutes this may be a moot fucking point! Fuck yes!

And Noah will get hurt every year. Even if it's for 2 weeks a year it will be nice having Asik.

Man, I know getting Mayo doesn't seem realistic at this point, but consider...
If we traded Korver and an assload of picks to Memphis for him. Then used 2nd rounders and cap space to absorb Anthony Parker (to replace Korver’s shooting off the bench).
That would be ridiculous, which is one of the (multiple) reasons why it probably won’t happen.

I don't think picks help the Griz
The picks aren’t that good, which makes the ability to scout and hit on low picks you have to develop even more important.
This describes the opposite of the Griz, even when you dont add in the fact that they need mayo and are shooting for the playoffs

If you can get Mayo for Korver and picks I don't see how you say no
A sharpshooter is nice, but Korver hardly gets any burn under Thibs because he’s a defensive liability. I’d much rather see a slightly worse shooter who fills our need and who is a capable enough defender that Thibs will feel comfortable playing for 30 minutes a night.
If you want a new sharpshooter just sign Jason Kapono in the off-season or some other James Jones type.
The Bulls offered it
but Memphis said no, not the other way around, Memphis still wants a Big

I'm with you there
I’d say throw in Taj instead of Omer if that would guarantee Omer getting more PT. But those picks are worthless IMO outside of trades.
plus Taj will be up for a new deal sooner than Asik
and has produced enough for some team to come in and offer him some cash.

if it came down to it
would anyone be opposed to us jumping in the Houston/Memphis deal, but we give up Asik and end up taking back Thabeet with either Lee/Mayo?
i’d only do this if we couldn’t jump in on the deal with picks as Sports2 wrote about, but i’d think Houston would prefer Asik to Thabeet. and if we jump in, we lose Asik but still have a big man (who’s admittedly been a major bust so far) that might be able to do something defensively with our coaching.
again, i’d only consider it as a last resort if Houston played hardball and won’t give up Lee any other way.

Asik for Thabeet is a bad idea. Asik’s got a bigger upside & is productive now. Thabeet has yet to pan out. If we’re dropping picks, it’s too much.
If Hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too.
to be clear, i'm not saying trade Asik for Thabeet
i’m saying if we have to do that as part of a deal to get one of the SGs, would you? i.e. rather than trade Asik for Courtney Lee, expand it and take on Thabeet as well.
Is this what your taking about?

no i meant that oj mayo seems like the kind of guard that only plays well dominating the ball. he, id imagine, is even worse than kirk hinrich playing off the ball. Which means the best use for him might be more in the second unit running that pg spot, and effectively doing what he wants….but i think i also just want cjs contract gone. Lee i thought would fit better next to rose, oj a better 6th man.

As much as I think Wilson Chandler would be awesome, only giving up picks for Lee would be great, too.
I’ve been on theLee bandwagon for a few years (back when the Bullshadn’tyet won the Rose lottery)
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
Lee was the guy I thought the Bulls should have gone after this past summer
I even wrote a FanPost on it. Can I be Courtney Lee guy?
But I've been on the Lee bandwagon since Bogans has been starting!
Maybe we should be a posse.

I can't wait for this place to explode
Once we actually land Lee and Bogans still trots out as the starter.
Oh my god.
Don’t even kid about that
New sig coming, but it's a process.
Why not?
Isn’t Brewer and Korver obviously better than Bogans as much as Lee is obviously better than Bogans?
No
Brewer and Korver both have pretty huge flaws. Korver is a traffic cone on defense and Brewer has no outside shot.
Lee is a more complete player than both.
I agree with you there
But my point still stands. What does Bogans do better than Brewer and Korver?
i think thibs starts bogans for 2 reasons:
1) ronnie was hurt at the beginning of the season, and then he was too stubborn to shake it up while we were playing well
2) he briefly coached bogans before and is familiar with him.

He shoots threes better than Brewer and defends better than Korver
New sig coming, but it's a process.
You're right about the 3 point shot
But I guess I’m in the minority here who thinks that Korver’s D is not worse than Bogan’s D. It’s about the same.
You are wrong
Korver’s D is much worse than Bogans D. He is a step slow on rotations and everyone blows by him. Exhibit A: last night.
I'm not arguing he's a better player
But he is a better defender than Korver and a better 3PT shooter than Brewer.
per Sporting News
10:32 a.m.: The Bulls, in their search of a new shooting guard, have reportedly been in pursuit of Houston’s Courtney Lee, Cleveland’s Anthony Parker and Memphis’ O.J. Mayo. Yesterday, when Lee checked in during the first quarter for the Rockets, it was apparent that Chicago and Houston had been unable to come to a deal. Today, ESPN reports a deal sending Parker to Chicago is not going to happen. That leaves Mayo as the remaining target for the Bulls before today’s 3:00 p.m. ET trading deadline.
As long as it's someone to replace Bogans I don't care anymore
"Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one." - Bob Knight

yes the fact that Lee checked in to the game meant the Bulls and Rockets did not come to a deal. I guess they aren’t allowed to talk today?

Guys who are on Courtney Lee's camp:
On what grounds do you guys say that Lee is better than mayo?
Too slow, too jerky, too quirky, too Deng!
Three reasons
(1) Cheaper: both in terms of cost to re-sign and what we would give up to acquire him
(2) Defense: proven wing defender with more length than Mayo
(3) Fit: already has proven that he can play well off the ball and be a role-player on a championship contender

Better defender, better character
used to being a winner, better fit

Playoffs and finals experience, taller, better defender, still has some upside, zero attitude issues(at least from I’ve read), and I’m pretty sure he’d beat out Tony Allen for the Grizz starting SG spot

Much like sports personalities
I don’t deal in logic
New sig coming, but it's a process.
So I came late to the thread
and while using the Z, I found out this news:
1. The Bulls are getting Courtney Lee
2. The Bulls are not getting Lee
3. The Bulls are getting OJ Mayo
4. The Bulls are not getting Mayo
5. The Bulls crossed all SG’s of their list, and are getting none shooting guards.
Things change fast people. And, I have slightly more begun to trust the Org and their decisions lately, so no need to worry.

From GarPax
With the Bulls clearly needing an upgrade at SG, what would it take to get OJ Mayo or Courtney Lee?
Matt Moore, CBSSports.com:
It would take something they’re unlikely to give up. The Grizzlies would have to get back a legit two-guard and the Bulls don’t want to send any of theirs.

by Hindut Patrol on Feb 15, 2011 2:51 PM EST
I can't believe we're not trading
a guy that we all know is about to get the “rookie treatment” from Thibs. If he’s not playing him against Toronto in a game where his team gave up 118 points, then he sure as hell isn’t giving him major burn in the playoffs. If they don’t trade him for a SG then the Bulls are saying:
“Look despite the fact that we’re better than we thought we’d be and Rose is a MVP candidate, we are more than willing to let this year be a throw away year and we’ll get a SG next season, Go Bulls!”
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Exactly.
FUCK.
"Smith stripped. Smith stopped! Smith stopped again by Pippen!"
by ColonelFatheart on Feb 24, 2011 11:42 AM CST up reply actions
Not giving up a promising big man for a marginal upgrade isn't throwing the year away
I love Courtney Lee. I started his bandwagon. But I don’t think they should give up Asik for him. Guys like Courtney Lee are too easy too find.
Look we need a SG this year
I don’t care if Lee is a dime a dozen. That doesn’t hide the fact that we are literally a SG away from a chance at a title..THIS YEAR. Nothing else to me is as important. Damn it’s Omer Asik, not Mutombo.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Does Lee make us the favorites? No.
I don’t think trading away someone with as much potential as Omer is worth it for a guy that takes us from maybe a 20% chance to win to a 25% chance to win.
how much potential does asik really have?
honestly, i’d like to know. i’m a fan of his, and wouldn’t want to trade him unless we definitely improve. but it seems like we’re bordering on BE-type hype with our players. With the way the roster is constructed, he’s never going to play more than 20 mpg.
Doesn’t seem very moral to me. Might as well take Satan’s autograph while you’re at it. - N.C.
I think he has a ton of potential
Really you can count on both hands the number of 7 footers in the NBA with his defensive instincts and athleticism. I really think he can be an elite option. The West Coast road trip was a real eye-opener for me.
elite option for what?
backup to an elite center? i guess it depends on how much you value a backup. my point is, its very unlikely he ever has a role that gets him more than 20 mpg. i think the biggest point in asik’s favor is that noah’s pretty injury prone. if he ends up missing 20 games a year, not sure how good our chances are going forward with or without asik.
Doesn’t seem very moral to me. Might as well take Satan’s autograph while you’re at it. - N.C.
Noah is injury prone
And we might want Asik as an asset to deal for a really elite player, not just Courtney Lee down the road.
Basically I think that Asik is too valuable an asset to deal for a slight chance at the title this year (albeit improved with the addition of Lee). Maybe I’m just more pessimistic about the Bulls chances to beat the Heat, Celtics or Lakers this season.
Right
Everyone on this board knows that we aren’t winning a title without a respectable SG. But know one can tell me that we would definitely not win one without Omer ASik! I like Omer but damn.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
That's a fair point
I guess I just don’t think Lee gives them THAT good of a shot at it. Asik is the kind of guy we are going to need to battle the Heat down the road.
It's long term thinking.
Someone will offer more money to taj and he’ll jet while Kurt is probably in his last year with the Bulls as well.

every time they swung for the fences, they’ve seemed to miss. wallace signing, drafting of lma and trading him for t2, jj, etc. i can see why they are hesitant to pull the trigger on a seeming ‘big trade.’ not saying its justified, but i can see why given the history. most of the big trades were trying to get out from under salary.

He got more minutes that KT which is what all the bitching is about

Clearly?
Based on one game? All I said was it was premature. Let’s wait a few more games before we make an assessment.
When asked about not playing Asik
Thibs said something about KT being the anchor of the defense and how great of a job he’s done. Yes, it’s been one game, but based on what Thibs has said it appears as thought KT will get regular minutes backing up Noah.
"If the Bulls are healthy it could get ugly." - Joakim Noah
"Appears"
So not clearly, huh. I read all the same stuff. It pissed me off that Asik didn’t play last night.
I just think the “we have to trade Asik because Thibs refuses to play him” meme is premature.
I'm not saying we have to trade Asik
Just that it seems pretty clear to me that Thibs favors using KT to back up Noah instead of Asik, which may or may not be a reason to trade Asik to get a starter quality SG in return.
"If the Bulls are healthy it could get ugly." - Joakim Noah
even if he prefers KT
there’s a good chance KT will only be with us for this year. we can’t trade away our only backup 5. the taj/boozer frontcourt does not cut it for me.

All you gave up to get him was a bad contract you didn’t want anymore (Trevor Ariza).
I think I did okay
there are no rumors and I think I’ve been respectful

Another reason I don't want to give up Asik to Houston:
John Hollinger and all his stat cronies (who love Asik) will be praising “Dork Elvis” for days for winning another deal.
Guilty Simpson should be our starting SG

Well they would be right
Morey would trade-rape the Bulls if he got them to flinch and give up something they clearly didn’t want to for something he doesn’t need.
didn't say they'd be wrong...
just that I don’t wanna hear about it
Guilty Simpson should be our starting SG

Is Taj what's holding up the Lee deal?
I don’t think it is. Still not sure that deal makes the Bulls much better for this season unless they get a back-up PF back.
What I love is that unless this deal is just for picks
Some part of this blog is going to be pissed. Camp Omer Vs Camp Ta, Lee Vs. Mayo.
I really feel that both Memphis/Houston don't want Taj
and are only excited about Omer.

Yeah
There is a lot of differing opinions.
I’m in the Lee over Mayo, you can’t trade Omer camp. Undecided on trading Taj.
Agreed on Taj
I like him and think he is valuable, but I wonder if we overvalue him because he was a late round draft pick and (astonishingly) not a huge bust.
so the fact he's a great defensive replacement for an oft-injured, defensively terrible expensive player doesn't mean anything?

No, as I said, he does have value (and you just nailed it)
I am merely wondering if we see him as more valuable that he actually is when he is the subject of a trade. I like him as insurance, but we are deep in the post.

new thread
now my comment-deleting seems pretty pointless, but oh well.

But
characterizing both the comments and your deleting as pointless really contributes to the absurdity of the thread overall. Bravo.
Think they should trade Asik for Lee straight up Right Now!
Kurt Thomas has been playing much better than Asik lately. In fact Thomas should have started last night and they should have eased Noah back into lineup. Thomas with the starters and Noah with reserves is the way to go until Noah gets his legs back.
Any way I know Thomas isn’t a long term option, but you can use the 2 firsts in the draft to target a Big.
