It sort of works. Sort of.
You have to remember that Josh Smith wants out of Atlanta
and would probably fit in perfectly in LA, which already has a true center in
Andrew Bynum and the right parts to play around him—like Kobe Bryant.
Boozer’s contract is nearly unmovable, but seeing that
Atlanta needs to move on from Josh Smith (and the money he’s due), they might
need to consider getting something for him in return.

I'm liking any trade that clears Boozer's contract while receiving a superior talent with a tolerable contract. It seems too good to be true. At the very least, I am pleasantly surprised that the Bulls do not believe in their own hype, and that they recognize the team's flaws. That is highly encouraging and will make for an interesting summer should nothing happen at the trade deadline.
On the Bears, I was also pleasantly surprised when the Bears acquired a better receiver than VJ. But then David Haugh had to ruin it with a stupid comment about the Bears' receivers and how we can "no longer" refer to them as inadequate. Give me a break, David. The Bears have a total of 2 receivers (Marshall, Bennett) and if Bennett is your no. 2 WR, then you've still got problems.
I saw Haugh's comment too. He always overstates moves or assertions in his writing. Unless the Bears pick up Eddie Royal or another tertiary receiver, it's hardly elite. The Giants and Packers have four good receivers.
The Bears still don't have a pass-catching tight end as of this moment. The line needs work, but I'm thinking they address that with the first pick because Michael Floyd simply won't be available there. That Minnesota win cost them 6 draft spots.
Yea it's too bad about that drop in the draft. I think drafting o-linemen and boosting WR depth/talent is the right recipe at this particular time. You're relying on too many players (Webb, Hester as WR, a fragile C. Williams who failed as a tackle, etc) who are either unproven or simply bad at what they do. And the big picture problem of a dearth of young talent capable of replacing the aging core of Briggs, Urlacher, Peppers, Tillman, etc can probably only be resolved after 2-3 successful drafts. Put differently, there's still a lot of work to do--for both the short and long term.
Also, this latest Howard news is bizarre. It's almost unfair that a guy with that much talent and promise suffers from a very annoying bout of immaturity and a lack of professionalism.
