Question

Would this be a good trade or bad trade? Joakim Noah to bobcats for Okafor? Or to celtics for Perkins?

Answer 1

Both would be a bad trade for the Bobcats or Celtics. It would be a great trade for the Bulls. It won't happen. Joakim Noah is highly overrated. Perkins and Okafor are good players that don't get too much attention.

Answer 2

Joakim Noah would be a bad player to trade for. He had some very minor character issues this summer and both Okafor and Perkins have provided more offense than Noah. Joakim Noah also didn't have that great of a season last year and he's in summer league. The Celtics are actually happy with Perkins (in fact the Celtics lost a game when they didn't have Perkins to defend in the NBA Finals) The Bulls would definitely have to had some more players in order for the trades to even out. Even then Okafor is valuable to the Bobcats.

But personally I think Noah can become a defensive force for the Bulls at the center position. And it seems like he would be a good fit in a running style offense on the break.
