Salmons is going to Milwaukee for Kurt Thomas & Francisco Elson. This to me signals Tyrus is definitely on the move & I'm hoping it's to NY for Harrington.

I'm not even sure those two guys are better than Richards. Something's wrong if they play any non-garbage minutes once Noah gets back.

If we keep them, they will be getting garbage minutes for sure. Thomas is a solid veteran but he's not the rebounder he once was & Elson is just a big body who speaks Dutch.

And both are better than Chris Richards and Brad Miller can't play 35mpg. I wouldn't rule it out.

There's a lot of rumbling that Salmons is going to be part of a 3 team deal now to land T-Mac. I'm crossing my fingers right now for this to become a reality.

I think Tmac has something left but NY has a lot more incentive to get him and offer for him.

Given what NY were rumoured to have to give up to get TMac I want no part of him.

Other than the draft picks, which are like golden tickets cuz they are assured to be in the top 10, the Bulls have better talent to offer. Adelman loves Miller, who would play a big role on that team, & Tyrus is better than Hill, Hughes, & Jeffries. The sticking point is Salmons. Houston does not want him, they want expirings or draft picks. Involving the Bucks in this trade would achieve that.

I'd be willing to take a chance on T-Mac, who is ready to play & is eager to prove he still has game. And he's already got an apartment here, so he wouldn't have to go far to step into a Bulls uni. :)

Unfortunalty the draft picks are the main part of the deal.

Check that the trade is Joe Alexander and Warrick for Salmons

Getting Warrick would be a decent pick up if we're trading Tyrus. I like it a lot more than Kurt Thomas.

Is there a source for this? I'd definitely rather have Warrick than a broke down Thomas or Elson. Alexander, meh, atleast he's an expiring.

The Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a deal in principle that will send John Salmons to the Bucks.

Chicago will get two expiring contracts in return. Initially, sources said that the Bulls would get Kurt Thomas and Francisco Elson, but the Chicago Tribune reported that they could receive those two or Hakim Warrick and Joe Alexander.
