Joe Johnson/Josh Smith to CHI
for
Deng/Korver/Brewer/Asik

We save $5,168,500 right off the bat, Rose loves having Joe and Dwight Howard chooses CHI. The Bulls can easily get him - if he says he wants them - for Noah/Boozer.

We get Asik (whom I admit I really like), Deng plays SF and Marvelous can at least play a good defensive SG.

What am I missing?
Should I ask for a million 1st round picks?
Taj Gibson?
(I wanted to leave them a PF if they trade Boozer)

I know the talent given is much better than the talent received but maybe our payroll and on-court team structure will make more sense.

no, with what we are sending them you should ask for D Rose.

Well, I wouldn't help Chicago do anything, but what's being suggested isn't a 3 way deal so you just evaluate it in terms of what it brings us, not what it might lead to for the other team in free agency.

Honestly, I like Asik also. I also like Deng, but Korver and Brewer do little for me, but for dumping Joe's contract so be it. I'd ask for the 3M cash and a 1st round pick in the deal. If the team is open to dealing Joe and Josh then this isn't a bad package.

Joe for Asik, Taj, a pick, and contracts

anything besides that would be wasting the Hawks time.

But you'd rather have Biedrins and the 9th and 19th picks? http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1121520

I'd rather have Deng than the 9th and 19th and I'd really rather have Asik than Biedrins.
With my idea, we pay $6,646,073 less next year, clearing the way for a MLE without going over the LT.

I would do that. CHI wouldn't ... at least, that's what everyone at the Bulls' board told me when I suggested this.

And I didn't even ask for a pick.
