What do you guys think about this possible trade?

The Chicago Bulls should be trying to wash their hands of this season and start hording draft picks for the upcoming 2014 NBA draft.

But if they are really dead-set on trying to win it all this season, trading with the New York Knicks for Iman Shumpert may be the only way they can salvage their title chances....

nah no way.
Jimmy Butler = Young
Taj Gibson = young
Noah = Young(ish)
Rose = bout the same as Rose.

the only old things on their starting roster are Deng and boozer

Offload Boozer's contract and they could seriously bring in another star player. I think Deng's days are numbered, so... IMO
- Trade Deng for a defensive SG/SF and move Butler to the SF position.
- Trade off Boozer or wait for his contract to expire and just get rid of him. this free's up HEAPS of cap space.
so they would have
Rose
SG
Butler
Gibson
Noah
as their starting lineup. not bad IMO.

If someone could convine Melo to work off the ball like with the Olympics (and a few games here and there with nuggets/knicks) he would be really good. Otherwise I can't imagine this working, especially while he's at SF.

Melo is the most over-rated piece of crap player.

I dont think he would make the bulls better. he would make them worse. plus it would kill the team chemistry. they want Rose as the centrepiece. Fans would not take too kindly to a guy from NY taking over from a native as the 'star player'.

butler is better at sf anyways.

Boozer for Shumpert and 1st rd pick?

Pg Rose
Sg Snell
Sf Butler
Pf Gibson
C Noah

Shumpert to come off the bench for Snell and rose then Bulls get a PF/C 1st round pick to back up Gibson and Noah.

Gibson is ready to become a starter IMO.

I think you might be over valuing boozer a little there you want to trade a young guy who can play at both ends for a guy who is only gonna get worse and isnt a good defender plus a first round pick which the knicks dont have. I dont think theres a trade between these two teams that make them both better.

As a knick fan though i would be happy if we traded stoudy to the bulls for a packet twisties and not even a big packet just one of those little ones that go in lunch boxes

2 problems with this trade

1 - the Knicks don't have a 1st rounder to trade

2 - It doesn't work cap wise

Also you forgot Luol Deng in your lineup - he starts comfortably over Butler, Snell or Shumpert
