<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DraftExpress is reporting that the Bulls and Celtics are discussing a trade that would send Chris Duhon and the 16th pick to Boston in exchange for the 7th selection. Many mocks have Tyrus Thomas being selected 2nd, but according to DraftExpress, he could slip all the way to seven. Since the Bulls matched an offer sheet that Toronto signed Duhon to last summer, the guard would have to agree to the deal</div> Source
I would do this if I’m looking at the immediate picture of getting this team to a championship level. The more talent the better. However, eventually we will have to find some way to resign these picks, and there is no way we will be able to resign another two top ten picks. Now the thing is who would we be targeting at seven? I don’t know if it’s Randy Foye since we haven’t brought him in for a workout yet. I am willing to put money on it that it’s Brewer. Skiles and Paxson fell in love with this kid when they brought him in for a workout. However, made it clear it’s a slim to none shot he would be available at 16. I am a big fan of Duhon on and off the court though so I would be disappointed in losing him.
Damn duhon is my guy. BUt his stock is rising simply because he is a true PG. ANd some teams are in need of that. Good luck Duhon. Go Bulls!!!!
Well, Duhon is a great point guard as we all know. He would definetly get a starting job with the Celtics, and that is what he deserves. Ronnie Brewer will be there at 7 for sure, and what about Tyrus and LaMarcus on the same team. Wow.
I love seeing Duhon playing as a Bulls giving everything he has night in and out. The Bulls would probably select Brewer though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While admitting the deal would be enticing, a Chicago source told the Chicago Sun-Times that the rumored deal that would send Chris Duhon and the 16th pick in Wednesday's draft to Boston for the seventh pick will not happen. The rumor, started by draftexpress.com, would have had to be agreed to in advance by Duhon since he signed an offer sheet with Toronto last summer. The source also said the Bulls have yet to decide what they will do with their picks, which include the No. 2 selection</div> Source
We need to do this before Ainge comes to his senses. If somehow, one of the big 6 (Bargnani, Aldridge, Thomas, Roy, Morrison, Gay) slip to 7, teams could be trying to trade up for the Celtics pick. This better get done before the draft.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A report on draftexpress.com Monday said the Bulls were working on a trade that would send guard Chris Duhon and the team?s second first-round pick (No. 16) to the Boston Celtics for the No. 7 pick. Neither Bulls general manager John Paxson nor Duhon was available for comment Monday, but a team source said that deal, though enticing, is not going to happen.

Doesn’t look like this trade is going down according to “team officials”. At the same time it could just be a smokescreen I mean unnamed team officials shooting down a trade rumor? I wouldn't completely disregard this rumor yet. I can see why this trade would not happen. Duhon is one of the teams tri-captains and represents the organization extremely well. I can see him being our version of Eric Snow, a player who we might pass up trades that would bring in better talent (for a long time), simply because of what he does in the community and locker room.
I hope the trade happens Brewer is awesome, but Duhon is a standout guy and a really nice team player. He never seems to sulk or anything and just plays the game.

Duhon and his 9/5 a game are expendable, especially if we can move up and get a Brewer type player.
Rule this out Telfair has officially been traded to the Boston Celtics for the seventh pick overall in this draft.
