My order (JO and Tinsley included): Tinsley, Diogu, Daniels, Foster, O'Neal, Williams, Murphy.
I just cant see Tinsley staying here with all thats been said about him by JOB, the Simons concerned about cleaning up our image, and the utter lack of support he has within the organization. He wont be easy to trade, but he will go. Diogu is cheap and someone probably still thinks he has some upside. He appeared to be in JOB's doghouse most of the season, so he's expendable. Not to mention, his relatively manageable contract is easy to package with other players in deals. Daniels has some value and again, we are looking to clean up our image. He can be useful to a playoff contender (probably in the Western Conference). Foster simply because he has the most value on this team outside of Granger. His contract is expiring, its manageable, he is a solid low post defender and does all the little things that winning teams love. Taking charges, tipping rebounds out, doesnt need shots, etc. O'Neal because he has stated he wants out, but is unlikely to get dealt because he has zero value and seems to be most concerned with getting healthy. Williams has shown potential, is firmly entrenched in the rotation, and has the outside shooting that JOB loves. I'd be mildly shocked to see him moved. Murphy's contract makes him extremely undesirable to other teams. He's going nowhere.
Who will be traded in the off-season?

Lots of Bulls fans want O'Neal but Pacer fans may not be thrilled with the offers.
Due to salary matching it would have to be Hughes & Gooden OR Hughes & Nocioni.
If neither trade is acceptable, then the Bulls cant get him.

Actually JO, Diogu for a Hinrich, Gooden, and S&T Duhon would work.
I personally would like to get a pick out of that as well though.

How about JO, Tinsley, and Ike for Gooden, Hughes and Hinrich? I think that works, but I didn't check it.
