Dal/Chi
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 5:21 pm
Since the Bulls took Derrick Rose with the first overall pick this last draft and Luol Deng has ongoing contract talks that seem to be going nowhere. This trade could help out both teams involved. There is a story about Deng that says if he can't get a long term deal in Chicago he will opt out next summer and become a free agent. This looks like the perfect chance for the mavs to jump in and get a great young player.
Dal Trades:
Josh Howard
Jerry Stackhouse
Chicago Trades:
Kirk Hinrich
Luol Deng
Filler in Cedric Simmons
Why this works:
-Chicago wants to get rid of Hinrich and his huge contract because of Rose
-Bulls get immediate cap relief with Stackhouse basically having an expiring contract and they do not lose Deng for nothing.
-Chicago doesn't want to give Luol the money he deserves because they don't think he is as valuable as he thinks.
-Howard will get a new scenery and maybe will return to his all star play
-Chicago has been offensively challenged the past few seasons so Howard will give them a better scorer.
-Mavs get a point guard to take over after JKidd retires/traded/signs else where
-Mavs get a young SF who is a better defender than Howard.
Bulls:
Rose/Curry
Hughes/Ben Gordon/Stackhouse
Howard/Nocioni/Sefolosha
Gooden/Thomas
Noah/Gray
Mavs:
Kidd/Hinrich/Barea
Terry/Wright//Jones

Dirk/Bass
