Would you guys trade Ray Allen for T-mac or Vince Carter or Ben Gordon?

"I love Ray Allen, but I would trade him if it were to benefit the team, but not for any of the players above."

that should be an option.

Add Hinrich to Gordon or the #11 and Yi to Carter (or Lopez and Carter) and I would, but I can't speak for anyone else. I don't see any way that a T-mac/Ray Allen trade could benefit the C's.

I would listen on Ben Gordon but I would likely want Tyrus Thomas in the deal as well. Especially since Ray Allen going to CHI would likely land them Amare.

I whole heartily agree. I don't want anybody from the Glass family(Tmac or Carter) or little Ben. Ray's already better then all these guys plus he has an expiring contract. He was our best player during the season, he just was held back in the playoff because of a hamstring injury. The trade package would have to make my brain explode to make it worth it.

That's true, we need to cock block them from having a chance at Amare. We don't need anymore competition in the East. Good try Jordansbulls, but we'll have to pass on this one.

I wouldn't trade him. Only way I trade him for sure would be on a package for an young star( Amare, CP3, Wade)
That isn't likely to happen though..so I think we should just keep the team as it is. We would have won this year if KG wasn't injured. It's not like we were eliminated because somebody else was better than us, while we were 100% healthy. That hasn't happened yet, so as far as I'm concerned we are the best team in the league. Adding to it makes more sense to me, than subtracting from it.

You should add the team bus, their private Jet and their first born while your at it.

Good pickup for you guys if that falls through.

No offense but this poll is no good. If we don't like the 3 choices the only choice left is not trading him at all?

Gimme Gordon + Deng.

Personally, I'd love to trade Ray & picks (or whatever) to Phoenix for J Rich & Barbosa.

Ray Allen is 33. It's not going to be easy getting 2 good players in return.

Look we don't have some misconception about what Ray Allen's value is around the league or anything but he still the best damn shooter in the game and we are trying to win a championship.

Ray probably has one more all star caliber season in him and carrying a near 20 million dollar expiring contract. So if you want to a unload salary or get something for nothing in a S&T like Ben Gordon Ray is a hell of a something.

Like I said I don't think that the Bulls would want to trade a re-signed Gordon and Ty Thomas for Ray on its face. But if that deal was the key to acquiring Amare it all of a sudden makes a lot more sense. CHI could then package Ray with another expiring deal, say Brad Miller and send it to PHX for Amare and Richardson which would clear the Suns books but leaves the shelf full for one more season and the Bulls are Rose, Richardson, Salmons, Amare, and Noah.

Not necessarily true. Allen + draft picks for Richardson and Barbosa could be very enticing for Phoenix. They would have only one guaranteed contract going into the 2010 offseason and that contract is for less than $2million. They would be in a position to re-sign Stoudamire + two other max contract free agents. Now they may not be able to legitimately land two max guys but they might have a real chance at signing Amare + another max guy + 1 or 2 second tier guys.
