Raptors / Bulls shakeup

[Kreamy]

Just an idea. This is predicated on Ford coming back and playing at 100%.

The Bulls wouldn't do this. And I don't want to give up on Ford nor Bargnani at this point, both of them are still critical to our future.

I wonder how many different languages CHI could say no in?

Value wise, that's really good for Chicago.

However, it really doesn't fill Bulls needs.

BULLS
G- Ford / Hinrich
G- Sefolosha / Gordon
F- Nocioni / Graham
F- Bargnani / Thomas
C- Wallace / Noah / Gray

I really don't like that team in that you have most of your talent concentrated into 3 undersized guards (Ford, Gordon and Hinrich) and you have 4 projects to develop (Thomas, Bargnani, Noah, Sefolosha).

While Chicago has to make moves with its roster to get the current version to work, this trade would necessitate a few follow ups as well.

I was thinking, what about a deal centered around Deng + Tyrus Thomas for Boozer?

Utah shouldn't touch that deal.

[VintaGe36]

It would be part of a bigger deal no doubt, but I'm just gauging value.
