Noah will not be dealt in any trade's for Carmelo

[magicbalala245]

Have members of the Chicago Bulls brain trust had general, internal conversations about the possibility of including Joakim Noah in a trade for Denver’s Carmelo Anthony? Sure, because they would be crazy not to at least bounce the idea around when it comes to adding a bona fide Top 10 player. The Bulls desperately want to get better, and they have to at least consider all the options.

 

But as ESPNChicago.com reported Thursday, while general discussions have taken place, a team source said Noah will not be dealt.

 

The Bulls consider the emotional center to be a cornerstone for their franchise. To put it another way, Derrick Rose is untouchable -- obviously. And while Noah may not be that bulletproof, the gap between him and Rose, as far as a potential trade goes, isn't as far as the casual fan may think.

 

The general consensus is that the Bulls feel like they are much closer to a title with Noah than they are without him. As I discussed on Thursday, are the Bulls really that much closer to a title if they add Anthony, but lose Noah, Luol Deng and Taj Gibson in the process? I don't think so.

I'd rather have Noah and isn't James Johnson the next Melo?

Lol james johnson is terrible haha, but it would not make sense for bulls to trade noah for melo, who would we have for defense and rebounding on our team? we would be a weaker version of miami. melo is very one demensional, and takes a [expletive]load of shots.

I wanted them to keep Noah so good. They need role players, and Boozer can't play center. Hopefully Bulls can get him in the offseason IF they can get rid of Deng's contract. Big If there because that is one bad contract.
