The bulls would much better off giving up Ben Gordon + someone else for Gasol, imo.

That leaves us just as big a hole at guard though.

Gordon will be really awesome when there's an actual post game and he doesn't just have to play super out of control all the time. He's an ungodly 3-pt shooter. Getting a post threat like Gasol who can also pass is a godsend for Ben.

Sucker,

I didn't know that you knew there was a Sporting Events forum. Did Boris tip you off?

I read it but choose not to participate. I have my reasons. If you play nice, maybe I'll start posting.

XOXO,

Whenever Memphis talks to Chicago it appears Deng must be a part of this deal. Now that there's a new GM and coach in memphis that might change. I'd be pretty surprised though.

How much would the future first be as counted in salaries? Does it even come in as part of the equasion? I see Deng makes like 3.5 mil but Gasol makes 13.7

I wouldn't worry about salaries. Between Redoing Deng's deal, Noccioni, PJ Brown and other table scraps it can get done.

How do they work that in though? I mean if you trade a player who makes 10 mil a year for a player who makes 5 mil and a first rounder do they count what the avg first rounder makes or do they count anything at all for a pick?

They can renegotiate Deng, include a re-signed and overpaid Noccioni, give PJ Brown a one year present equal to the value they need, include a variety of scrubs or Duhons.

Re: Official IwannatalkaboutdaBull 2007/2008 Season Thread
 

Well.. you got the overpaid Noccioni part. 5 years, $38M. Wow.

Re: Official IwannatalkaboutdaBull 2007/2008 Season Thread
 

OK. No KG or Kobe, which blows, but we have our deep core intact, are in decent cap shape, and have a good chance at a top 2 seed. gogogo

I don't really care about the Bulls, but just wanted to mention that JamesOn is like the coolest name ever. The fact that he's got "character issues" makes it even better.

I'd argue it's the worst misuse of capitalization of the best name ever?

Re: Official IwannatalkaboutdaBull 2007/2008 Season Thread
 

Any word on contract negotiations for Deng and Ben Gordon? A lot of the 2004 draft guys are getting re-upped.

The idiots down in Dallas gave Devin Harris 5/$43.

Gordon is clearly a better player. Is he looking at Kevin Martin type money (5/55?)

Deng is a max guy IMO.
