“Chicago may tell Orlando to take any two players — or three — besides [Derrick] Rose,” one GM said, according to Wojnarowski.
He also added this: “The Bulls have Omer Asik developing fast as a potential replacement for Joakim Noah should the Bulls include Noah in a package. Noah would have to be a part of it, but would a combination of Noah and Luol Deng or Carlos Boozer — bringing back Howard and one of those bad Orlando contracts — be enough? The Magic need a force to replace Howard, an anchor.”
Wojnarowski does note Howard “isn’t keen on the cold weather” and there have been previous reports over the summer that Howard didn’t have the Bulls high atop his list — so he still may be more likely to head to the Nets, Lakers or another suitor.
Still, the Bulls would be able to put together a decent package of players for Howard should he ever warm up to the Windy City.

BM GAME WRAP: Game four will go down as a true heart breaker for Bullsnation. The Bulls played hard and had a chance to win at the end of regulation, but Derrick Rose’s jumper fell short. Looking like a gased team, the Bulls fell 93-101 to the Heat. With only 3 players in double digits (Boozer 20pts, Deng 20pts and Rose 23pts) the team game that has been the Bulls strength could not pull them through. The Bulls come home on Thursday night looking to make the series 3-2 and send it back to Miami for Game 6. For all the fans in attendence on Thurday night…STAND AND CHEER, this series ain’t over until the Heat win 4 games.
