Phil isn't just gonna hand 25+ PPG to the Bulls. He would ask for all reasonable long-term assets in exchange for the win-now asset. Taj, Kirk, and Niko isn't enough, so you just won't get him.

They can *easily* get more for Melo from a different team. You either want to win now, or you don't. None of the guys I named are win-now difference makers. You could deal them all, replace the depth with vet min guys, and be an immediate contender in the East.

Noah's window is closing. Pau's window is closing. Phil wouldn't facilitate that process for Taj (a role player), Kirk (an old role player), and Niko (a potential guy).
