The hot rumor is Tyson to the Hornets for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith. Another possibility would be a sign and trade with Atlanta -- Tyson for Harrington. I would do that trade as I think that Smith is a player too. I doubt Smith gets much playing time from Skiles unless he works twice as hard on the boards and defensive end. But he'd be an improvement over Piatkowski at the end of the bench. Brown's biggest value is his expiring contract, but he doesn't back down from anyone and is a vocal locker room guy -- a couple of intangibles the Bulls lost last year when they traded Davis. That's a great point about Brown. He's gonna be a very good veteran prescence for this very young team, assuming this trade is gonna go down. Man, Paxson is a wizard. And I agree with your entire post from a page ago, ndistops.
