I'd be very surprised if Noah is available.
Same.
I wouldn't hate it, but you've already Got Plumlee and Len. So I'm assuming one of the two would have to be included.
No way I would give up Len and Plumlee for Noah. He is a nice player but he is not going to get better. He turns 29 in February. What makes the Bulls good is their exceptional defensive scheme.
Noah is not that good, he is getting old, he is paid a bunch, offensively he is below average except as a passer and to me he is simply an eyesore to watch play basketball.
.
Ha. I've never really liked him that much, but now that you say this, yes, that's it. He is just horrible to watch.
Its funny. We have all this NBA play money to spend (picks, cap space, deep bench) and there is nothing we want to buy.
I'll stick with Len. I am beginning to like what I am seeing from the young man and next year could be a real improvement for him. I look for him to really solidify himself as an NBA player toward the end of next year.
Anything more than Okafor and a first for Noah is a bad deal for us.
LOL@ including Len or Plumlee or anyone else of value.

No thanks.
No short-term fixes that screw with our assets for the sake of solidiying a playoff berth this year.
It is bad enough that Barbosa is stealing Goodwin's playing time.

wow...I don't think I've ever agreed with EVERYTHING you've said in a post as much as I have this one.
For once I kind of agree with Slin.
While I have a higher opinion of Noah, I wouldn't be quick to give up too much for him. He's basically a 10/10 guy who is approaching 30.
Plumlee is a poor mans Noah and is only 25. Not to mention you've got Len who is moving a lot better. If he can stay healthy I think he'll look like a solid pick in a few years.

I'm hoping to be super wrong on Len and have him end up being a slightly lesser version of Roy hibbert.
If he stays healthy he could end up being a much better player than Hibbert. Roy just wishes he had Len's quickness and footwork. Alex may not get there but at least he has a chance. We haven't had that kind of potential at the center position in a long time (maybe Oliver?). His ankles are still a concern but it's looking like McD took a reasonable gamble.
If Len can stay free of major health issues I think he can be better than Hibbert as well. Also Len has some fire inside which some bigs never develop.
