Chicago Portland 

Post#1 » by DanTown8587 » Thu Jan 24, 2008 9:30 am

Raef LaFrentz, Channing Frye, Martell Webster, Jarret Jack

4

Ben Gordon, Ben Wallace, Tyrus Thomas, James OnCurry

Portland gets a really good scorer (Gordon) and rebounder (Wallace) and young big (Thomas). Chicago gets a shorter deal (LaFrentz), young PG (Jack), energy big (Frye) and good SG replacement (Webster). I know every Bulls fan (including me) wants to see Thomas stay here, but I truly believe they have lost him. If they felt like he could contribute, he would play more minutes when Deng was out, but Adrian Griffin played a lot of minutes in a small lineup.

Makes absolutely no sense for Portland.

Why would they pay Wallace 15m/yr when they have Oden and Pryzbilla?

Where would Gordon and TT get the minutes to justify trading for them?
