In case you haven't seen it, here's a clip that pretty much confirmed that Dwight asked for SVG to be fired:

http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=55097.0First of all, am I the only one who is a bit irked and grossed out by the video? Dwight pretty much took Stan's job and was acting all jovial about it.

I'm thinking the Bulls. Joakim Noah is one of the, something like, three healthy centers in the league. Plus, with the slew of role players and potential players they have, the Magic can get quite a hefty return. On the other hand, the Bulls would be all over Dwight + Rose, like ants.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=77rozgn With this trade, the Magic are getting 5 players who are a large reason why the Bulls have been maintaining the record without Rose. Plus there's a center and few teams can offer that. Taj Gibson and Ryan Anderson clogging up the PF is what you call a good problem. Could probably even grab a couple picks from the Bulls if they tried hard enough.
Add a third team and things could get feisty...
What do you think? Do you like this for either team? Is it realistic?(I'll admit I'm not the best trade idea guy.)
What trades would you have done (realistic or not)?
