    No.

    We won't give up Rudy or Bayless (or Marty or Nic) for Thomas.

    No dice.

    It seems like we're just so limited in terms of who we could move... Webster and cash and pick(s)?

    Would Chicago want Webster? Would we be willing to move him and leave us potentially thin at the small forward spot?

    There is no need for the Bulls to get Web for Thomas. They want more cap space, not less.

    Direct - the only thing they could be interested in is some package of Web and cheap expiring contracts (Patty? Who else?) for something that will net Hinrich.

    Seems like the only way Thomas can be had will be through a 3 team trade. Not direct.

    From what I have been reading Chicago is looking for a first round pick plus some chump change for him.

    How does a 1st round pick factor into matching salaries? Do salaries still need to match up the same?

    This is probably what Jaynes was referring to.

    Jason Quick has been pretty adamant that KP is not interested in Thomas. But all these reports contradict Quick's opinion. I'm starting to think Quick is wrong yet again.

    Yes--draft picks have no impact on salary matching.

    I sort of buy it considering Tyrus Thomas is a bonehead. He is a younger Darius Miles essentially.

    That said, KP has also said once the team has a solid foundation of character that is when you can take more risks when it comes to character when trying to add more talent to the roster.

    We'll see soon, but I'm not sure how the trade would set up anyways.
