Chicago Bulls must rebuild
The Knicks went all in with Melo; they are not going to trade him for anything less that LeBron, Wade, or Kobe and 2 first round picks. Even if this trade were available, why would New York sign off? They invested big money into Tyson Chandler during the offseason, Amare Stoudemire is a top 5 Power Forward in the league when healthy, where would Noah fit in?
Oklahoma City just signed Russell Westbrook long term. On top of that, they traded for Perkins to get a legitimate Center so Serge Ibaka would not have to play 32 minutes a game out of position. Acquiring Boozer would force Ibaka to slide to the 5 full-time. Do you think Sam Presti is a stupid General Manager? I think he is probably the best in the league, therefore, he won't trade one of the best young, defensive Centers for a Power Forward who is not producing anywhere near his contract.
Lastly, I think that if Golden State makes a deal it will be to build around Curry and Lee. I firmly think that Curry and Ellis have and can work well in the back court together, but I can see some validity to the thought that Mark Jackson might look for a pure Point Guard to play like he did, or might look for an upgrade at Small Forward--which is why Bill Simmons was gunning towards an Ellis-for-Battier swap.
I agree the Bulls should look to dump Boozer, but I would rather much rather deal and C.J. Watson him to someone like Sacramento for Marcus Thornton, Francisco Garcia, and Jason Thompson. However, even that trade is in Sacramento's favor--the only way it would happen is if the Maaloofs wanted to get Jimmer a prominenet role for ticket sales--I do not mind the thought of staying put and seeing what Hamilton can bring to the table.
Any trade that involves the team that finished last season's best record should not be a total roster overhaul.
u c guyz! if these simpl steps wuldve been taken... the rose injury woudve been nothing!
not to menshun, the knicks wuld have chandler at centre, JNoa at power forwd, amare 'extingwuisher" at small forwrd sinse he dusnt like to rebound he wuld be bigger dan other SFs and wuld be ungardable!

I've seen more negatives in this thread than I did my entire math class last year.
