    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There are still whispers Bucks center Jamaal Magloire could end up being traded to the Toronto Raptors, and that super-sub guard Mo Williams could accompany him in a blockbuster deal.

    Swingman Mo Peterson and forward Charlie Villanueva are the Raptors most prominently mentioned in such a deal. ?

    Speaking of the Raptors, I?m hearing they are getting some tempting offers for the No. 1 overall pick. One scenario would have Raptors flip-flop picks with a team that is selecting in the top five and receiving a starting player as well. ?

    The Allen Iverson Trade Watch is officially on. The scuttlebutt is the 76ers will trade the mercurial guard this summer. ?

    There is growing sentiment that Detroit free-agent center Ben Wallace will have the Chicago Bulls on his short list of teams this summer. ?From what I saw in the playoffs, it sure didn?t look like he wants to stay in Detroit,?? an NBA coach said. ?

    Is Latrell Sprewell?s career over? Some NBA officials have serious reservations whether Sprewell has anything left in his tank. And this is the guy who turned down an offer in excess of $20 million before last season to stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves... </div>

    I don’t know if I would want to add Big Ben to our front court this summer. I love Big Ben’s work ethic, and his passion when he is on the court. However, I don’t think there would be enough offense in the front court if we played him and Chandler next to each other. Should we sign Big Ben we need to trade Tyson, or make sure he develops some type of offensive game.

    Is it me, or is it that every free agent or player on the market might be a Bull?

    Lol, Al Harrington, Big Ben etc.

    CK, I think its not just you, Im having the same feeling too. The Bulls could be the New, New York Knicks [media/rumor wise].

    It's more than Al Harrington and Big Ben. There was a rumor for the longest time last year that Lebron James would leave when he was a free agent and go to the Bulls. Kevin Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal were also rumored to be headed to Chi-Town earlier in the off-season. In one of my articles, I reported that the Bulls might be a suitor for Allen Iverson. Just think of all the players that were rumored to come, to recap:

    Al Harrington
    Ben Wallace
    LeBron James
    Kevin Garnett
    Jermaine O'Neal
    Allen Iverson

    That's one hell of a rumored team...

    Yep, just like every player romored in a trade to any random team is then rumored to the Knicks a few days later.

    There's only one team for the Big Ben in the NBA. And that's the Pistons. He's not a good fit anywhere but the Pistons.

    Not really he would be a good fit on any team with a big power forward that can score.

    I think its safe to say, Magloire isnt coming to Toronto this season, we just got Rasho and hes an expensive player, but I expect to see new rumours surface about some other quality players.

    ^yea, if anything when he's a free agent or later.

    However, I'm not surprsied Peterson is being mentioned. Did New Olreans not make a run for him last season?

    The Bulls happen to have a load of salary cap room this season, so alot of speculation will head in their direction... big ben a bull. I'l believe it when i see it.

    As a Bulls fan, Big Ben is not the guy I want to see. We wouldn't have enough offense on the court, as BKS said earlier, and if we kept Chandler, we would be low on cap space. So, unless Chandler is getting traded, or we're looking to trade either Gordon, Deng, Noc, etc., I don't see this as a good idea.

    Add Stromile Swift to the rumor list. I remember reading it during the playoffs.

    I would have to agree that Big Ben playing for the Bulls just doesnt settle right with me with the teams current line-up.
