The Magic have a chance to strike it rich depending on what the Lakers, Nets, Mavericks and Bulls (Dwight Howard tagged them on his privileged list) are willing to exchange for baby-sitting him for the next five seasons.

Chicago cannot contemplate surrendering Joakim Noah and Luol Deng, it says here. Subtracting them from their untainted mix is a recipe for ruination. Notice, you don’t see Derrick Rose petitioning for a superstar sidekick. He would never denigrate his flawlessly compatible teammates like that. What’s more, he recognizes they’ve got a first-class thing going on.

Yeah, that’s what the Bulls need, a free-throw shooting liability who can’t be thrown the ball in the final five minutes of close games; the guy who led the Magic to a first-round playoff outage last season against the Hawks; and the mope who publicly whines about teammates, (Stan) Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith.
