I heard this as well.
I know a lot of people might not like this trade (basically Hinrich + Tyrus for Boozer) but IMO, this is a very good trade for us - especially if Boozer can agree to an extension for less than $15mil per year.
Also, that rumor doesn't say anything about Portland giving up anything.
IMO, Bulls need atleast Blake to come back from Portland or we would not have backup PG (and I don't call pargo a PG).
I would love this to happen. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN GOD.
Also, if we can clear somewhat salary, we should still have enough to sign D-Wade in 2010.
I love this trade. But this is why I wanted to keep Gordon.
PG-Derrick Rose/Jannero Pargo
SG-Ben Gordon/John Salmons
SF-Luol Deng/John Salmons
PF-Carlos Boozer/James Johnson/Taj Gibson
C- Joakim Noah/Brad Miller
That team has everything. A starting lineup that is explosive offensively, a good backup center, a good sixth man in Salmons, additional bench scoring in Pargo, and an intriguing tweener prospect at the 4.
Too late for that though. The trade is still good. We'd be left with:
PG-Derrick Rose/Jannero Pargo
SG-John Salmons/Demarcus Nelson
SF-Luol Deng/James Johnson
PF-Carlos Boozer/James Johnson/Taj Gibson
C- Joakim Noah/Brad Miller
That team might be able to get into the playoffs. But it doesn't have an outside chance at winning a championship like the above team.
