if we could trade Jefferson to Utah for Kirilenko, and get Noah instead of Thomas I would be more interested.

I think Utah could bite on that swap; however, I dont think Chicago would deal Noah. Maybe if you send them Atlanta's pick. But, Noah's been playing good lately and Chicago is high on him despite the conflicts they had recently.

Very nice job on the trade details and pics.

I actually like the trade a lot. Tyrus has amazing potential and raw fire. I think he would thrive in Dantonis system to the point that Chicago would kick themselve for getting rid of him.

I like Jefferson a lot as well. He is versatile with his length where he can defend a lot of different areas. Not as well as Marion, but well enough. I like how this improves us now and for the future.

Good for the future, but I don't like giving up Strawberry at all. Doesn't win us a title.

No thanks.

I don't like having to pay Collins $6 mil for 2 more yrs. If we did that, why did we trade KT and 2 1sts?
Plus we don't get rid of any of our bad contracts.
We will keep DJ thank you, you can have Piat, and keep Collins, we will take Noc.
So NJ gives up RJ and gets Noc, DJ, and Marion?

And why does Memphis do this trade?
Sorry, I like the effort, but hate the trade.

What if you guys keep DJ get Stoudamire and NJ gets Banks instead?

Also, would you guys be willing to send Atlanta's pick to Memphis?

Thanks

For the 3498752394th time, I wouldn't give up anything significant just to get Tyrus Thomas here. He is a long and athletic, but his work ethic and IQ is extremely suspect.

NJ eats this deal. Chicago drools. Phoenix laughs. Memphis says F you.

You do get R.Jefferson don't you? You also get rid of Banks in favor of 2 veterans(Collins and Stoudamire) you can use in the playoffs and a former #4 pick who could eventually take Marion's place in the future.

Collins would have to open a bar at the end of the bench to see any action in PHX. Or maybe he could go out with Diaw, but that is about it.
It just doesn't work for everyone.
