Bulls get Miller, Garcia and 1st rd. 08

The Kings would get value that is more valuable than anything that will be available in the first round, and they have the right to swap in 09. They will have a nice mix of productive veterans and developing youth. This is not a bad lineup by a longshot.
PG- Hinrich/Udrih/Douby
SG- Martin/Salmons
SF- Artest/FA
PF- Thomas/Williams
C- Hawes/Moore

I'm not a fan of Hinrich, Beno is just as good (maybe better) and costs a hell of a lot less. Not to mention the goal of moving Miller would be to clear salary...Hinrich's salary defeats that goal.
Despite the fact that Tryus is demonstrating an ability to be as dumb as a broken lamp post, I would take a risk with him. But not for this package...and not without the Bulls taking one of KT, SAR or both.

This space needs to be filled with a new sig...but I'm too lazy to make one.

Can't agree less there, Hinrich is a far better passer then Beno...
The thing that hangs me up is the contracts, of course.

I think the general idea has legs for 2 reasons:
1) Hinrich, despite a crappy season, is still a good PG. He's a very good defender and a decent distributor. I tend to think he's in a bad situation with the Bulls (as in they just don't mesh well together).
2) Always think "buy low/sell high". The Kings bought low on Webber, they bought low on Bibby, they bought low on Divac, etc. I don't see Hinrich's value getting much lower than it is now
However, as always, there are some issues:
1) Hinrich is 27 so he's in that gray area as far as rebuilding goes.
2) The same objection I had in the TJ Ford thread: obtaining a starting PG pretty much means you're letting Beno go and, in essence, you're giving him up in a trade as well.
3) I don't think Tyrus Thomas is any good. I really don't see him every being anything more than a slightly better Stromile Swift (uber-athlete but just not that skilled).
4) The pick swap is almost useless. The Kings are playing in the MUCH tougher conference and are almost a guaranteed lottery team next year while the Bulls have a legitimate chance at the playoffs (all you need is 35ish wins to sneak in).
My general feeling is that while I think that Hinrich has more value than Miller I'm very confident in saying that:
The difference between Hinrich & Miller <<< The different between Thomas/future pick swap & Garcia/Lottery pick
