Noah would obviously be part of a package for Carmelo. It would not be a straight up deal. I hope they don't trade him away. I like this kid a lot and that's after I was very disappointed on draft day. Noah has already far surpassed what I expected from him.

You always make the deal for the better player, but damn. The Bulls give up the heart of their team as well as any remaining semblance of defense.

A starting line-up of Rose, Melo, and Boozer will get at least 95 points put up on them every night.

Do that deal 7 days a week. Melo is a top three offensive talent in the NBA. I think he's underrated due to all the light shined on Kobe & the king. At this point, I would build a team around him in a heartbeat.

I am all for weakening another team in the West

And the rush to get away from the Lakers in the western conference continues...

The problem with that deal is that it would leave the Bulls with a black hole at center. They're already thin there as it is.

really?

which two of these guys are you bumping out of kobe, lebron, dwade, and durant?

Kobe, LeBron and D-Wade.

Melo is the second best pure offensive scoring talent in the NBA behind Durant. He has an excellent jump shot, great footwork and a post moves. He also has one of the quickest first/jab steps in the league. Finishes really well around the basket too.

Kobe gets bumped down to number three due to age and declining explosiveness. D-Wade would be fourth because of size. LeBron is fifth in this list because his jumper is streaky.

Melo can basically score any way he wants. The only other that can say that are Durant and Kobe.

melo is definitely a better offensive talent that d-wade

If the NBA was by international rules, Melo might be the best player in the NBA.
