Bulls Pining For Stoudemire, Kerr wants Noah Added to Deal

I'm not sure Portland would do it, but maybe they would consider Hinrich and Gray for Pryz, Frye, and Rodriguez.

 

If we bring in Amare, we have to put some type of depth in the front court. We can then try to package Hughes/Noc/Hinrich (interchangeble) to get a guard that can replace hinrich and another forward, then we can prolly find a decent big man in the free agent pool. I would like to keep hinrich but if he can bring us a solid big man then Im all for trading him.

 

Michael Ruffin returned to practice today, so there's a little more depth there.

We could always trade Hinrich/Nocioni for J'Oneal, and then bring back Hughes.

Then we'd have around $34 million in expirings. We could either swing a blockbuster trade with all those expirings next deadline, or let them expire, and sign a max free agent in 2010.

 

Or he might get motivated & end up on the All NBA 2nd team like last year or the All NBA first team like the year before.

p.s. Speaking of FAIL: Neither scenario has anything to do with a new CBA.
