rivals deal

bulls send wallace, duhon and VK to cleveland for Hughes, Anderson and DJones

Wallace > Hughes
Duhon << Anderson
VK> DJones

For cavs-wallace is actually playing pretty well. Nice along side Z, make gooden a dang nice 6th man. Duhon would start, good D, can penatrate a little. VK expires and is much cheaper than DJOnes

For bulls-wallace's value is ok now, take advantage. he will keep getting entitlement minutes and might start to decline. Hughes is the kind of 3rd guard for kirk and ben, a perfect fit (although WAY overpaid and hurt too much)- a big gamble here for bulls
Of course, anderson has most value in trade-he'd get 25-30 of ben's minutes up front but not entitlement-if gray or noah deserve them-they get them. That gives the bulls the young 4 bigs
DJones is crap, but would be our backup point (but very few minutes for him). He is paid way more than VK but is the price to pay

both teams shake it up here, could easily meet in first round to see who gets better deal

kirk/ben/djones
hughes/ben/thabo
deng/noc/thabo
JSmith/TThomas/Noc
Noah/Anderson/gray

duhon/gibson/snow
Sasha/sbrown
lebron/ira/shasha
wallace/gooden/marshall
Z/wallace

I came up with a twist-if cavs don't want to send anderson to Chic add Suns to deal. They have a TE and could REALLY use some big man D. They send the ATL pick (top 8? protected) to the bulls

Varejao cannot be traded until the offseason (because he signed so late). And at that point, Duhon's expiring cannot be traded.
