Just throwing this idea out there. I don't know of any other teams interested in taking on Zach Randolph...and I don't even know if the Bulls would be.
Kings deal:
Ron Artest
Kenny Thomas
Kings receive:
Joakim Noah
Joe Smith
Ben Gordon
Bulls trade:
Joakim Noah
Joe Smith
Ben Gordon
Bulls receive:
Zach Randolph
Mardy Collins
Knicks deal:
Zach Randolph
Mardy Collins
Knicks receive:
Ron Artest
Kenny Thomas
Kings deal:
Ron Artest
Kenny Thomas
Kings receive:
Joakim Noah
Joe Smith
Ben Gordon
Bulls trade:
Joakim Noah
Joe Smith
Ben Gordon
Bulls receive:
Zach Randolph
Mardy Collins
Knicks deal:
Zach Randolph
Mardy Collins
Knicks receive:
Ron Artest
Kenny Thomas

LOL.
So far this season, I could make a pretty good argument that Deng, Gordon, Noah and Joe Smith are the team's best players. Noah actually leads the team and all rookies for PER. He just doesn't get on the court because the $60M man gets his entitlement minutes.
No way that the Bulls trade 3 of their best guys for the wrecking ball that is Zach Randolph. Sorry, Smills, but this is pretty bad.

Smills91 wrote:yeah, just confirming the thought...nobody in their right mind wants Randolph. As for Artest/Kenny....I don't think Gordon has the value he once did. Smith is filler and Noah is the reason for the deal. If you look at between the Bulls and Kings it's not that far off.
I think you are just looking at this from a Sacramento perspective.
- Smith, right now, is not just filler to Chicago. He is actually and sadly our best big man.
- Gordon, right now, has very little trade value due to his contract and size. However, he is the teams only real scorer.
- Artest would just join the log jam at SF.
Essentially both players from Chicago have far more value to Chicago than Sacramento. The player received by Chicago has less value to the Bulls than Sacramento.
So, while it may be fair for Sacramento (since they don't need Smith or Gordon), its a huge hose job for Chicago (who doesn't need Artest, but needs Gordon, Smith and Noah in the long term)

We got dirt on him.
NY would cut SAC out faster than a New York Minute, who cares if the pieces dont fit, if Ben Gordon and Noah are offered, you better believe NY will take them.
Exactly, if I thought that Randolph could somehow net the Knicks Noah and Gordon I would totally forget Ron Artest. Even though I don't like Gordon or Noah and think they wouldn't help the Knicks in any way shape or form we could certainly use them as trade chips to get guys who could actually help.

Right... cause you've got plenty of perimeter shooting and interior defense already....?
No but we have plenty of undersized shooting guards who need the ball to be effective. I really don't care for Noah much at all and I was happy the bulls wasted our pick on him.
