Chicago: Andrei Kirilenko, Ronnie Price, and 2nd round pick
Utah: Andres Nocioni, Joe Smith, and Chris Duhon
WHY:
Chicago solidifies their roster with a potential all-star in AK47 at the 4, imagine AK47 and Wallace down low for them, wow. Then get a replacement for Duhon in Price, and a through in a pick to solidify the deal.
Utah gets another outside shooting weapon in Nocioni, a back up big that can give his defensive presence in Smith, and a back up point that would play great behind Williams in Duhon.
Depths:
Chicago
1 Hinrich/Price/Curry
2 Gordon/Sefolosha/Griffin
3 Deng/Nichols/Khryapa
4 Kirilenko/Thomas
5 Wallace/Noah/Gray
Utah
1 Williams/Duhon/Hart
2 Korver/Brewer/Almond
3 Nocioni/Harpring/Miles
4 Boozer/Millsap/Fesenko
5 Okur/Smith/Collins
AK-47 FOR Nocioni, this is it...

Sooooooooooooooooo.... Wallace for Okur?!
The value of the original deal is OK, but the fit is wrong for Utah. Noc' and Smith don't offer much that Harpring and Millsap can't supply. Duhon is nice, but doesn't drive this proposal. And as UTA fans always say, IF Kirilenko were to be moved, they would have to get a lockdown frontcourt defender (or two) in return.
Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.

As I said on the Jazz board, if this had been offered in the off-season, Utah would have been ecstatic to get such an offer for Kirilenko.
But now...AK is playing much better. He's our starting SF, but he's also our secondary playmaker and (sigh) our primary post defender/shotblocker. I think he's just too valuable for us, so while the added depth is nice, I'd rather not move him for Nocioni (whom I do like, BTW).
