Given that the TPE is probably easier to use than Hinrich is to trade, it'd be interesting to see what more than Hinrich we could get from Chicago for it. Something like TPE and OKC 2nd for Hinrich and separately sign and trade Kleiza for Noah would I think be very interesting. CHI could then pursue the likes of David West or, if he doesn't make too much, Kaman. He's crazy expensive, but Hinrich could take (and improve upon) every minute played by both AC and Dahntay. Happy thought, no?

trade exception plus future first rounder (bobcats if they dont make playoffs) for Rasheed Wallace in a 3 year deal.

This summer Kenyon Martin's contract won't look so bad because it doesn't have many years left.

I could see him fitting in with Brad Miller in Chicago or Al Horford in Atlanta. Both teams could use him. Ben Gordon, Jerome James for Kenyon Martin and Steven Hunter could work.

Other than that I could see Atlanta doing Josh Childress and Mo Evans for KMart. I'd consider adding a 2nd rounder to complete the deal. But not a first. Childress is pissed with Hawks management and the Bulls have a glut of guards. Salmons is gonna want to start next year.

You bring back the Birdman and I like our chances.

Nene
Rasheed Wallace
Melo
Childress
Billups

Bench
JR Smith (6th man for scoring), Balkman (F/G), Birdman (F/C), Mo Evans (G), MLE signing (3 year deal) Andre Miller, Fransico Elson (C) (vet min), Walter Herrmann (F/C) (vet min)

^Childress is overseas...

Out of that list (first post), getting Butler is a no brainer. He and Melo would be deadly together, Butler is not selfish so he can defer to Melo but we still need our floor general Billups to ensure harmony.
