However, as the minutes have become days it appears the Bulls have intentions on keeping Noah - at least short-term. I agree with the assessment Hawes would have been the best fit for need, although I consider him a work-in-progress for at least a couple more years so it depends on whether it is "need now" or "need future." This may all work out for the best as the Bulls now have even more flexibility to deal for a more accurate, more experienced big man who might make more of an immediate, "win-next-year" impact than the very-green Hawes might have...that is as long as someone is in the market for an offensively-challenged but high energy guy!
