    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">League sources say general manager John Paxson is active in potential trade scenarios, with guard Chris Duhon the most likely Bull to be shopped. Perhaps such second-round secrecy is being sought to ensure the desired replacements are in place if a trade is made.

    I don't know what they can trade for Duhon, they only way we get something better than him is if we package him.

    Duhon, Khryapa, 2nd rounders, 2008 pick for Collison.

    Why would Seattle want Duhon, they have Ridnour.

    The real question is, why would Seattle want anything of that trade scenario?

    i think Seattle would do this trade because there is a rumor that Watson or Ridnour will be traded. Watson wants to start and Ridnour has been struggling. If one is traded, that leaves an open spot at the backup point guard Duhon who is an expiring contract.

    Damn, I love Duhon. But I can tell that his Chicago days may be numbered. Him staying here may hurt Thabo's growth. He can make a solid starter somewhere.

    Sucks we can't keep him, though. I'll miss him.

    Duhon is a great character guy, the things he did for the people in New Orleans after Katrina was admirable. That is what I'm going to miss the most about him, should he be traded. He is a great defender off the bench, and solid ball handler there are a good six to seven teams that would see an immediate upgrade at point guard if they brought Duhon in this off season.

    Duhon is a great player and if the Bulls trade him, it would definitely suck. Hopefully, they could get some value for him though.

    Conley>Duhon. I read somewhere that the Bulls were working Conley out, which I think is great. He is a good PG, and if the Bulls to draft him, they could by all means trade him to the Blazers and get a guy like Randolph or Jack.

    You can say that about any player. How do you know Oden or Durant will be good, you don't. But based on college, you can some what assume, he is gonna be a good player. I'm not comparing him to Stockton or Nash or Billiups or anyone of that stature, I'm just saying, he will be better then Duhon, I think anyway.

    Well I mean that's true but Duhon is a solid player. He can start on at least 1/3 of the teams in the NBA.

    I've loved Duhon's game since he was in Duke. Hopefully the wolves can do something for him. Him foye and KG could be pretty decent but not ideal lol

    That back court would get murdered playing against teams with taller guards.

    And would in turn murder teams with taller guards. I've never understood that argument. Both are smaller quicker guards that most taller guards would not be able to contain. On the perimeter the main thing that determines good defense is position and quickness. What does height have anything to do with that?

    I agree that that lineup couldn't contain a kobe or tmac but whose can? To me it's about skill not size.

    During the playoff a team with a larger back court will wear out one with smaller faster guards, as demonstrated by the Pistons in the playoffs this year. Speed can be contained by a good defensive team, be it through zone defense or just clogging the lane with bodies. However, a bigger guard will be able to back down a smaller guard even if he is a good defender pretty much any game (ie. Billups on Duhon, Gordon). What was the last team you remember with an undersized back court to win a championship?
