[wolf stansson]

Chris Bosh is soft, but he could run a sweet pick and roll with Rose.

Some rumors from RealGM

Bulls moving Hinrich to Minny for an expiring to use in the Amare deal?

 

There is also a rumor floating around about Tyrus for Kamam should the Amare deal not happen. I'd vomit at that. I hate Kaman..he is overrated, and white.

Underwhelmed by the offers for Amare Stoudemire, the Phoenix Suns appeared Tuesday to have decided not to deal the All-Star power forward to the Bulls or any other team.

 

''I'd like to keep what we have and go forward and see what we can do,'' Suns president Steve Kerr told the Arizona Republic.

 

damn it. I'm convinced Reinsdorf fudged this up again. I just know it.

[ChiCubsFan]

I'll be so pissed if T2 is traded for Kaman. Trade him for Amare, Bosh, or nobody.

That's a decieving article. That Kerr quote is a few days old, and it doesn't mean Amare won't be traded. I think Kerr has always wanted to keep Amare. It's Sarver who was wanting to trade him. Kerr saying he'd like to keep Amare doesn't really mean anything.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'm ready with pitchforks and torches if we end up trading TT for Kaman.

[Rusch33]

Don't worry Reinsdorf and the Bulls will fudge this up.

Don't worry Reinsdorf and the Bulls will fudge this up.

 

If everything that's being said is true, there's really nothing the Bulls can do about it. If he's off the market, he's off the market. The only way we really had/have a shot is if Sarver is demanding he be traded for financial reasons. As an actual basketball trade, a package centered with Thomas for Stoudemire sounds crappy.

Salmons/Miller for Gooden/Noc/crappy filler.

 

Done deal (NBA.com)

who and what now?

[sneakypower]

that's a really good deal for the Bulls

 

Salmons is a viable 3rd scoring option and Miller still affords them the ability to part with Noah if the Amar'e talks resurface

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Wouldn't Gooden's departure end talks of an Amare deal, because he would have been the piece to provide the salary relief that Phoenix was seeking?

That's pretty fantastic. Basically we traded Nocioni for Miller, and Miller's contract is up in 2010.

[Rusch33]

Is Brad Miller even back from injury yet? I bet he's real happy to be going back to Chicago after his first tour there.

 

This is a lateral move for the Bulls at best. If you're going to trade away 3 players, get someone who can make a big difference. Not a guy who's an average center, and another guy who's stats are inflated because he plays for the crappy Kings.

[rawaction]

Salmons is a pretty good player. He's the type of big guard the Bulls have needed for a while. I'm assuming this means no Amare, but the Bulls improved their team today.

[Derwood]

Salmons is pretty good for a guy I've never heard of

[Andy]

I'm a lot more excited about the contract implications than I am about Miller. Miller's an ok big guy, but we now have two sizable contracts that come off the books in 2010. Those will be nice trade chips next year.

[wolf stansson]

A 6'7 shooting guard that can score?

 

What does this mean for Ben Gordon?

Goodbye for Ben Gordon after the season. It also means the end of Kirk Hinrich too probably.

[Rusch33]

He plays for the 11-40 (something) Kings.

 

If they wanted to get a good player, they should have traded for Martin.

You act like they traded good players or something. The only thing of value that the bulls gave up was Gooden's expiring, and the fact that they got rid of Nocioni's contract makees up for it. Poeple are going to be dissapointing because it's not an Amare trade, but it's definitely a good trade. Plus it's very 2010 friendly

Gordon is the kind of guy who is smart enough to have perspective and wouldn't let living in OKC affect his play. He's probably the most intelligent guy on the Bulls and seems to have a great grip on separating emotions from playing. The way he handles the press and the way he handled constantly being juggled from the starting lineup to the bench never bothered him. He'll put up his 18-25 points every night and go back to New York in the offseason.
