Told Bulls initiated. And unlikely. RT @ESPNSteinLine: Sources say Bulls, Raptors have had talks on trade featuring Boozer, Bargnani.

I am shocked Chicago initiated..... wait a second.... no longer shocked.... surprised.

no options on either side 15.3m next year 16.8 million next year...gives us 42 (Amir as well) million in cap space come 2015.

Landry comes off the books then as well so over 50 million in cap space for 2015

[Matt52]

Anyone think that Bargnani will play really well in Chicago with a coach like Thibs?

Yes.

He would be 6th man.

don't want Booz. brutal contract. only good thing is his and gays contracts line up giving us a ton of money in 3 years while the team can also play at a relatively high level. much prefer ridnour / Williams trade.

Rudy Gay is 26. I'm pretty sure BC wants to resign him when his 29. The only way that happens is if we are good team. Thier is nothing special about Bozz's game. He just over powers in the post, hit the 18 footer and crashes the boards. He could easily do that for the next 3 years. By than I figure he will retire and JV has become than new Low post presence. When Booz's contract expires in just in time to resign JV and Rudy to a contract.

Why this? Boozer is SO old he's going to lose it in a year or two...

Hey! 31 is not that old... grumble grumble...

I say we make a trade for Luke Ridnour and Derrick Williams for Andrea Bargnani, in my opinion that would be a huge steal for us.

Yup.

[akashsingh]

awful awful trade.

awful awful trade.

How? and don't gimme that "huge contract" BS. Boozer is simply a much better PF than Bargnani, plain and simple. You have to spend to win or you'll end up like Memphis

[saints91]

I think we should wait for something better. Boozer isn't the piece we need at this point. I'd rather hold on to Banana

Why? He's a Veteran Big that can rebound, score in the post, and muscle dudes around. I doubt we'll get anything better than this for "Banana"

I prefer Barg over Boozer with our actual line up. We need someone who can shoot the 3s and spread the defense, giving room for DD and RD. And we still need a back up PG please pretty please...
That trade is a poor attempt by BC to save his ass.

[saints91]

He's going to be close to retirement or severly declining when this team is ready to contend. Wrong age for this team. Millsap is the guy we need. I don't see it happening.

LOL weve had a champagne budget with a beer taste! LOL

boozer is def better then bargs, that said if theres a better deal out there then do that, im not attached to boozer... he def is an upgrade though & would provide much better Defense, Rebounding & Post scoring thats for sure. Id also want Nate Robinson in the deal

We need someone who can shoot threes? Lowry, Rudy, TRoss, Lucas, Anderson, DeMar's improving...

I'd take this trade in a heartbeat.

Thats not true at all. What we need is a post presence and a Vet.

[saints91]

This is a move that will keep us mediocre for 3 years and then we'll have nothing to show for it. I'm not that deperate to get rid of Bargs. Maybe for Bargnani and Fields, I would consider it but nothing less.

I'm not attached to him either but i don't think we'll find any other sucka that would take his ass.

[Red and White]

I really have no clue how to gauge Bargnani's trade value.

How? Lowry, DeRozan, Gay, Boozer, Valanciunas
That is a very good lineup with potential to grow year by year(DeRozan, Val)
