The Bulls are like in NBA purgatory. They need to get Rose help to have a shot at getting past the Heat but they don't want to give up anyone. What a tough situation. Now there's word that Howard wants to come to Chicago. They need to make a move though. Or get beat again.

Yup, as good as they are in the regular season when it comes down to it in the playoffs there is just no way they get by the heat as is.

It's crazy. I love our team but they gotta give up somebody good to get somebody good. It's not like we can get a star player for a bag of chips. Have to say goodbye to somebody.

That's the thing, they are stuck. They really have no idea what they want to do. Howard would be nice that would put our awesome defense on a level that you'd only see on a video game on easy mode.
I think you're looking at Deng/Noah/Asik or Gibson and a draft pick.
Would leave Chicago with Rose/Rip/Brewer/Boozer/Howard. Watson, Korver and Gibson on the bench. Still a ton of pressure on Rose on the offensive end, especially at the end of the game. Without Deng, the last three minutes would become even more difficult offensively.
I just don't see the Bulls gutting their chemistry and depth that way. I'd probably do it, but I don't think they would.
