    If I'm the Bulls there's no way I'm dealing away Deng in a package that doesn't include more. No way.

    I'd much rather have butler too, but who knows if he is on the table. On some level, I think he would demand the ball too much.

    Long, but good story about Butler's life.

    The Bulls may value cap relief more than you do.

    (Then again, maybe not.)

    PS- I agree with you. I wouldn't do it. But who knows? Nobody figured Memphis would give Pau Gasol away for nothing either.

    Right. I just think Nocioni and Hinrich would be more in line with what we'd be receiving.

    Pritchard is Jesus though, so if he can make blood out of water, he can turn a frenchmen, spaniard, and a trout into Deng and Hinrich.

    Wouldn't a package of Bayless, Diogu and LaFrentz for Deng and Hinrich make more sense for everyone?

    No, I wouldn't give up Bayless for those guys even though most people might for Deng.

    Also the Bulls don't need Bayless they have Rose and Gorden.

    IMO Bayless will be easily better than Heinrich. So that being said, Deng would have to end up being way better than Outlaw for the trade to even begin to make sense if Bayless was included.

    Andre Miller is supposed to be available if they don't think they can sign him. Miller and Thaddeus Young?

    I know we went after R.Jeffewson before. What about RJ and Sessions from the Bucks. I think that could be a possiblity.

    Reggie Evans is a garbage filler but Miller > Butler + Deng + Hinrich. We would have an elite PG to go with our elite SG, PF, and C.

    I'm skeptical if we'd be able to get Deng AND Hinrich, let alone Caron Butler.

    Why don't you like it? Miller is a tremendous upgrade at PG and Evans is a banger backup PF that is one of the best rebounders in the league
