No way. Luol Deng has a ridicolus contract and we wouldn't be able to replace Boozers inside game and as everyday goes by, the more I'm confident that Booz will stay.

I think that's a pretty strong offer. I don't think we'd take it, because I don't think we really have room for 2 more small forwards on the team, but, the talent is pretty good.

I think Deng would be a great fit at SF in Sloans system. He is a great defender, and is great off the ball making back door cuts, setting picks, etc.

And Tyrus would play PF, where he has the potential to thrive alongside Deron Williams.

And he would probably have a contract worth about 10-12 million per year.

fivas14, what are yu talking about, now? Deng is a free agent. He doesn't have a contract, let alone a "rediculous" one.

I really like Deng and think he would be a good fit for the Jazz, but I'm not so sure about Tyrus, who has "Stromile Swift" writtenall over him.

great trade for Jazz....I doubt Bulls would be interested unless Jazz include a small forward for them like Brewer or Korver. Assuming adding Korver has Bulls do it, I would like the Jazz lineup.

PG Williams Price
SG Brewer Almond
C Memo Tyrus Collins Fess Kosta
PF AK-47 Millsap Tyrus
SF Deng Harpring Millsap

Great defensive team that may have scoring issues but Williams is so good that scoring may not be a problem.

I meant he'd WANT a rediculous contract.

I'm sorry to be that guy, but it's "ridiculous," my friends. No 'e.'

As for the trade, it comes down to how good you think Tyrus Thomas will be. He's got all the potential in the world, but as someone above said, he could also turn into Stromile Swift. It's a gamble.

Of course, on the Bulls' end, it also depends on how confident they are in Thomas' development. They'd do Deng for Boozer straight-up w/out doubt, I think, but I don't know if they'd add Thomas, no matter whether they should or they shouldn't from an objective standpoint.
