If its really likely, Bulls would rule the east with Hinrich, Kobe, Deng, Tyrus, Wallace.

Shannon wrote:Well, it looks like Kobe is going to be a Bull. A couple weeks back I was completely opposed to trading a package including Deng and Gordon for Kobe. I still am.
However, I love the idea of Gordon, picks, fillers, etc for Kobe, which the Lakers are pretty much being forced into doing.
As long as the Bulls roster still has the names Tyrus Thomas, Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng on it, I welcome Kobe and look forward to seeing him in a Bulls jersey.
Well, it looks like Kobe is going to be a Bull.

Shannon wrote:Well it isn't a gaurantee, but with Kobe saying he will not be a Laker any more and meeting with Kupchak recently, sticking by his trade demand, I can't see anyway out.
Shannon wrote:If I get Kobe on my team and lose Ben Gordon, Ben Wallace and picks/fillers (which LA will probably be bullied into doing, by Kobe) I do it. He's the best individual talent in the game right now, and probably will be for a while yet. However, I still wouldn't be disappointed at all if the trade doesn't go down. I originally didn't want Kobe anywhere near Chicago, but if Kobe's going to force LA to move him to Chicago, we get the better end of it, so why not?
Its irrelevant if the players are physically bigger but don’t “play” bigger. Jordan Farmar had the highest vertical amongst last year’s prospects but he doesn’t even use it in his game

Ultimately Chicago loses Ben, Noc, Tyrus, 9th pick for Bryant. Leaves Hinrich, Bryant, Deng, Ben Wallace but a gaping hole at PF. But getting a PF is easier than getting a legit superstar in his physical prime.
LA gets Ben Gordon & Rashard Lewis. Can you see any other team matching that offer? That's 45 ppg on 46% FG shooting...statistically LA trades in more than what they trade out.
Sonics gets Noc to fill in for Lewis but eventually Durant takes over that spot, and for the first time in many years 2 good paint players. If Hawes, huge marketing boon as he's a Seattle favorite. If Yi, it works out perfectly as Seattle has a huge Asian population like San Fran. If Noah...er moving on.
That being said i'd probably cry to see some of my favorite players traded out of their teams.

are we still talking about Duhon with you using the "if you pair him next to a star guard" argument? lol obviously if ou pair an average player next to a stud, that stud will make that average player look better. steve blake all of a sudden is a hero paried with iverson and 'melo. and i'm not even sure denver would trade blake for duhon lol
hanks for mentioning Wallace's contract, which btw is front-loaded. he makes $15.5 mil next year. the Bulls should be spending at least ~$50 mil after their done using the LLE, MLE, sign the draft picks redo your math Wink http://hoopshype.com/salaries/chicago.htm

Peteri Koponnen (a big, pass first PG with potential to be something special), Nick Fazekas (a jumpshooting big man, but he's so ridiculously good at it). I just hope at least one of them will still be there when we pick.
