Don’t let Joakim Noah go, Bulls

Trades can be pretty bad, depending on who you ask, especially if you’re asking an old Grizzlies’ fan. 

And with the talk of Carmelo Anthony leaving Denver and possibly going to the Bulls, there aren’t many options for Chicago that doesn’t include young center Joakim Noah.

In fact, there’s probably no options whatsoever.

Having said that, let me first say this: We will see that the Bulls’ organization is very 12-year-old boy-ish should they even consider this option. They can’t have a complete basketball-erection at the hearing of the possibility that ‘Melo could join Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer. That’s just stupid (and gross).

Joakim Noah will most likely be the second best (if not, the best) Chicago Bull next season. Although the addition of Carlos Boozer will be a huge asset, he won’t do what Noah does, which is being an inside presence, something that’s pretty much a requirement thanks to the Lakers’ bigs.

Get rid of Noah, and what are you left with? Pretty much a solid team at every position with the exception of the most important one.

Without Noah, Derrick Rose doesn’t have the freedom to drive inside the paint that he normally would, Carlos Boozer can’t shoot mid-rangers comfortably, Kyle Korver can’t shoot threes without his rebounding machine and Chicago fans would cry.

But go ahead, Bulls. Get rid of Joakim Noah. He’s got too much potential. Have your basketball-orgasm and run away with Carmelo.

A Little Hiatus

I'm going to go ahead and evaluate performance of this blog a little bit. First, I'd like to say that I'm surprised by how many people have been visiting. After just two weeks, this beloved NBA blog, Lights Out Shooter, was ranked on Google, and there was a consistent solid number of readers per day. Average time on the blog is pretty awesome, too.

The suck-ish part of all this is that I never have time to post. I'm a one-man team on this one-man NBA blog, and this one-man team just happens to be a college student. You know what they say: Sleep, school, and a social life. Pick two of the three.

Well, for now, I'm going on a small haitus to concentrate on school. I'm gunning for Trey Kerby's position, so I'm going to need some good credentials.

Anyway, thanks for your guys' support. You can always holla' atcha' boy at carloslvftw@live.com if you want to help contribute to this NBA blog.

Carmelo Anthony is thinking about where he wants to go

Carmelo Anthony: Dude, I'm so good you know? I'm like the baddest-ass player ever. I can hold this pose forever, and teams will still want me you know? I'm soooo good. You know? You know what I mean? I make teams hot and steamy, you know? I can shoot good and stuff.And I like tattoos. Everywhere. You know? I think I want to go to Miami.  Take my talents to South Beach. Could happen. They can use some help. A lot of it. You know what I mean? For serious. That's it. It's settled. I'm going to Miami. I can turn that team to a good one. They need me. I'm sooo good. You know?
