Bulls looking to trade up for Henderson or Johnson

T9 has told me the Bulls are looking to trade up to get Gerald Henderson or James Johnson.

Thanks for the info. This certainly seems to be accurate. Everything has pointed towards these two guys being our top 2 guys we are interested in. Neither IMO will be there at 16 so moving up is the right thing to do if they as an organization have these two above the Blair, Mullens, Clark, Hansbrough, Williams group. If they move up to 11 then both Henderson and Johnson will be there. I would be curious which they would go with in that scenario. A lot depends on what is really going on with Gordon. If they think they can bring Gordon back then you don't pick Henderson. If they are sure Gordon is going to Detroit then Henderson is probably where they go if they are picking at 11.

I like both these guys because they can step in from day one and contribute. My only thing is do we got other moves we're looking at because I feel both this guys can start

maybe they don't this year but I can see either one being a starter after their rookie season

Taking Henderson and then trading Hinrich for Blake and Outlaw, and allowing Gordon to walk is one scenario.

Rose,Blake
Salmons,Henderson
Deng,Outlaw
Tyrus
Noah,Miller


The other is taking Johnson, signing Gordon and moving Hinrich for some capspace.

Rose
Gordon,Salmons
Deng
Tyrus, Johnson
Noah,Miller


This obviously does not take into account the slim possibility of acquiring someone like Amare.

Seems like the right move to make IMO. Either one of those players could potentially be a good fit for the team, or maybe even trade bait. Man, I can't wait till Thursday so there can finally be an end to this speculation.
