Bulls still Shopping Deng...

Twitter / Chris Broussard: @Mini_56 Bulls could trade ...

The Bulls offered Deng to the Mavs for Dampier but Mavs said NO.

Thoughts?

Dallas wants Lebron so it makes sense they wouldn't help us out like that.

Does anyone else think we will be able to trade Deng a lot easier if we sign James first?

This is like a day old rumor so we dont know if theyre still shopping him.

Plus they still have Butler and Marion.

Broussard just said it yesterday and I have to imagine they are still shopping him.

Dallas my want Lebron but they are over the salary cap and only can get him in a S&T. And that is not happeing.

I honestly don't know. But why would u think it would be eaiser? Maybe teams might need a player like Deng to contend. IDK.

I think the point of the thread was less about whether it makes sense for Dallas and more about the fact that they still might be shopping him, which they should be.

I get the feeling they have something tentative worked out with someone but are looking for the best situation...at least I hope. Having LeBron and Deng is really overkill. Maybe LeBron at SG and Deng at SF would work? Id still rather unload the salary though.

Because the teams holding out for LeBron may settle for Deng once James is off the market. Ideally, Cleveland would take him but if they were willing to do a S&T, James Johnson is a guy I can see them taking and/or a future pick. It would be great if Cleveland took him though in a S&T for LeBron. Cleveland is in a weird position. Gilbert has been out in front to tell his fan base that its a legitimate franchise with or without LeBron but that doesnt exactly jive with tearing it down and rebuilding. So maybe theyd take Deng.

We'll youd be taking the best SF off the market so i think teams would be more interested but at the same time, if you do get James, IDK if a team wants be to be known as the team that took Deng so the Bulls can further improve and dominate.
