I hope we dont lock. This is fun to me. As long as these sorts of things arent cluttering , they have value to me. Besides the original incarnation of the Hughes/Gooden deal started as such.

Is there any link or any source to lend any credibility to this rumor?

Skiles would get an erection faster for Hinrich then I would for Megan Fox.

But this time he did it 5-10 lbs lighter, so in theory, it was quicker.

if this is true...i havnt read the whole thread..

after the trade we should dangle the 10th, 16th, and 26th + tryrus + salary filler to make contracts work for bosh signed and extended (assuming toronto wants to and bosh wants to).

The only thing that makes me think this is true is that it is Skiles. Being cheap, I'd also imagine the Bucks being fond of Hinrich's diminishing contract

Ok.. If this is true it has to be done

Hinrich and the Bulls need to move on

Ridnour is Hinrich but his defense is like a European prospect trying to guard LeBron.
Elson.. 3rd string back up
10th pick.. Flynn or maybe Derozen

Bucks fan here. We do not like this as it doesn't help us with our goal of getting rid of long term contracts, and stunts developing our Sessions/Mbah a Moute/Bogut core. I don't see why they would want to get rid of useful expirings for a diminishing PG, when they could possibly flip them at the deadline for younger players.

I wasn't thinking about all those picks for Bosh, because I really don't think Bosh is going anywhere before the deadline and even then, I'm not buying it. What is intriguing is if we have all these picks, we should be able to trade up for an even higher pick and get one of the only few players in this draft that actually have value, Harden definitely comes to mind

Because Skiles LOVES him some Kirk Hinrich and Sessions can't defend

What's with Skiles' man crush on kirk? I'd still do this deal though.. we can make sure elson and ridnour never see a minute of playing time, and we can draft james johnson or hopefully demar derozan if he slips

Skiles used to coach/play in Greece, so he has contacts there.

If they have a problem with his defense, they can just draft Flynn or Holiday since one of them would be there. And from what I have seen from both, they have good fundamentals and can move great laterally.

This offer and the Portland offer seem to good to be true. I call BS on both, and if Hinrich is moved it will be for a very meh deal focused specifically on resigning Gordon.

However if by some miracle either of these trades go through I will pledge my love to Guy Forpaxson.

But it's not the same. You can't draft fond memories
