I love Noah, he's got KG Like heart and fire. He's also one of the best two way big men in the game and a straight up winner.
Chicago would be out of their mind to trade him but if, if you could would you trade two unprotected  first round pics for him? Three?

I think rondo green, sully, Noah could win the Atlantic and be a top 4 seed next year.
Find a way to nab Stevenson and we're back in contention

No. He's 29 and has had constant foot issues.

If it was just for our lottery pick than maybe. Im not giving up 2 or three unprotected firsts though. Even with Noah next year wed probably still be a fringe lottery team.

No.  Right now rebuilding into contention is all about how we use our assets.  Noah is a fine player but is not nearly enough to turn a bad team into a champion.  So spending one of our two best assets (Rondo being the other) and another very good asset to get him isn't likely to work out for us.


EDIT:  Oh, misread the title, it doesn't have to be our two picks this year.  That makes it a lot closer but it's probably still a no.

Nope. I love Noah too. He's the heart and soul of a Bulls team I have a lot of respect for, but the C's need a stud #1 option first. No point in spending assets on a great supporting cast until that role is filled.

Love Noah too, but his balls-out style, like AB's makes him more susceptible to injury.

If we were a team full of vets with a closing window and we were a center away from contending, sure.  Noah's injuries are concerning, but he is a helluva player.

But we are not one center away from contending. Far from it.  We need young talent to build around.  Giving away picks isn't going to help us do that.

Not right now. I think Noah is terrific and I actually put him in that Rondo-tier, but right now our priority should be finding that #1 guy.

I don't think a core of Rondo, Noah and Sully is a championship core.

What about a core of Rondo, Noah, Sully, and a top five 2014 first-round pick?

Rather tank out for Embiid and trade for Love.

I think Melon is a non-starter, but I like that line up: Wiggins, Rondo, Green, Noah and Olynyk/Sully/Bass is a contender.

No. 

The only way I'm giving up three unprotected first round picks is if it's part of a trade package that gets us a bonafide All-Star (or a young stud with potential to become a bonafide All-Star) in return.

I'm talking Carmello Anthony, Kevin Love, Roy Hibbert, Demarcus Cousins, LeMarcus Aldridge.  Even in some if those cases I'd be hesitant.

In today's NBA unprotected first round picks from lottery trans are worth way to much.  Noah is good, but he's not THAT good. In our current rebuilding state I'd rather stock up on< 25 year old talents rather than guys going on to 30.

Hmm, tempting. I think it's something definitely worth considering. Yeah, I think I would do it.

Btw, I assumed we'd be drafting Wiggins/Parker :)
