Jarrod N Rudolph ‏ @MisterRudolph

The potential trade would pair the high-scoring guard w/ Dwight Howard.

i think that's great for LA, and not so bad for Chicago.

i think people have been really underrating Gasol's impact.

Bulls will need to find a 3 to replace Deng, though.


No chance Deng & Boozer are traded for Gasol. Gasol is an upgrade to Boozer, but Deng is clearly the 2nd most important player on that team. The Bulls and Thibs view Deng extremely highly, and quite frankly, wouldn't deal him unless Dwight was coming their way..but not for Gasol.


i'm sure Thibs would be happy if they got MWP in return. he'd still keep defense on the wings in that case.

Either GSW has a GM worse than Otis (doubtful, nobody's that bad) OR they are very desperate to move Biedrins or Lee

But please people, don't get your hopes up. It's Otis Smith we're talking about, he can't pull off miracle trades like the Lakers ..

Apparently, it's going to be a three to four team deal since GS really doesn't like our pieces.

You know what's funny? Even if Magic actually have Warriros' attention with a trade idea, chance of anything happening just went out the door with the rumor going public. Why? Because we can't possibly have the best to offer for Monta f'n Ellis. He's a stud. And now, teams are going to call their sources, find out who we supposedly offered, and then trump it with their own deals. Sorry, Won't believe it till it happens.
