Zach for lamar odom, zach for one or two of the bulls' guards, zach for a higher draft pick, etc.</div> I don't think Zach Randolph is going to be moved. I think teams are interested, but that cap number is a little too much for most teams to handle. The Lakers cannot afford to have Kobe and Zach on the same roster, there's not enough left to form a team. The Bulls can't add him because they already have Ben Wallace signed on for a lot of money, and they need some money to keep that group (Gordon, Deng, Duhon) together.
Mo Pete - we dont need him anymoreRay Allen - needs a championship contenderLuol Deng or Ben Gordon or Andres Nocioni - the bulls will get rid of one of these threeKevin Garnett - Lakers or BullsStephon Marbury - needs a winning teamJR Smith - "He's Done" George KarlAntwan Jamison - Wizards need trade to him for a good post

Because he's a little over 30? Please, look at his contract, he's not going anywhere. Why would any of those Bulls be traded? They turned down trades involving those players all last summer and the Bulls GM isn't going to make a drastic shift over this years playoffs, he has a plan. Garnett's going nowhere, Garnett/Kobe would be a terrible move, the Lakers would have no cap flexability at all. Stephen Marbury is the opposite of everything a winning team wants. JR Smith leaving makes a lot of sense. No team is going to trade a good post player for Antawn Jamison and his big contract....for trade speculation, one word of advice, you have to look at things from A and B's perspective.
So where do you think Ray Allen will end up? In Portland or Memphis?I just think the Bulls have too much young talent at the guard spot:-Deng-Hinrich-Gordon-Nocioni-Sefolosha-Duhonand then there's:-Tyrus Thomas-Mike Sweetney

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (wolverine30 @ May 19 2007, 06:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Do you honestly think Ray Allen is gonna stay in Seattle?</div> I think I've made that pretty clear. I don't think many teams are going to want to pay Ray Allen $19 million dollars when he's 35 years old. Not to mention Seattle is losing Rashard Lewis, they need someone to score next season....and no team is going to trade 'rebuilding' type talent to the Sonics for a player of Ray Allen's age....even though he's still good.

Do you watch basketball?Bulls don't need too worry about young talent. They are set for the future. If Spencer Hawes gets drafted with the Knicks first round pick, the Bulls team will be loaded, and will dominate the East for years to come.

They dont want to have a crappy team when they move into Brooklyn in 09.Rashard Lewis has to be moved. KG has been the center of trades for the past 2-3 years, and nothing. The Wolves are really holding onto him until the perfect trade comes along, maybe Odom and others. Paul Pierce is definatly not going to the Spurs, for all the reasons already stated. And ofcoarse the Nuggets in NO way could pick up KG. Give me a break.If vince does leave he is going to Charlotte, Orlando, possibly Miami haha(Shaq said he wanted vince, maybe he would take a pay cut). Also Gasol was so close to leaving before the allstar break, I cant see him staying with the Griz, maybe a trade with Chicago for a Luol Deng or Nocioni?

The only way I see Jason Kidd being traded is if management in New Jersey is confident that Marcus Williams can take over next season.

I dont know much about this stuff, Im just saying he comes cheap, him and magette. If we get a 20 ppg sf, were set.
