Sonics-Bulls-Blazers
Apparently Portland wasn't too impressed with Oden's workout and along with his injury issues might drop him to number 2. If Durant has an impressive workout with both the Blazers and the Sonics, this might prompt the Seattle to trade up to number 1 to draft Durant. They'll probably offer Lewis as well and Portland would want to rid themselves of Randolph. The Sonics, however, might not want to take on Randolph's contract. They still are in turmoil financially and if Durant doesn't save the franchise then it would be easier to sell it without Randolph.
This is where the Bulls can come in and offer Seattle PJ Brown, Noce, and Duhon for Randolph. This case Chicago keep their number 9 where we can draft a Corey Brewer (they might have to trade up for him) who might be able to replace either Deng or Gordon when it come time to sign them for a contract next year.
The big winner in this transaction will be Portland with a possible frontline of Oden, Aldridge and Lewis. Seattle will get their marketable superstar and Chicago will get help in the post and still be able to retain our draft pick where we can pick Brewer or the best player available. Corey Brewer is of interest because he can play both SF and SG which also gives us flexibility in deciding which of "the core" to retain next year.

Very Doubtful.

Lewis' tryouts

All comments above make good points
Also, I sincerely doubt the Sonics are eager to pick up Duhon. If they are, a quick search of his name in this web-site would probably disabuse them of that notion.
* I could be wrong about Noce, is he restricted?

He's not going to take a 1 year deal.

it depends
and you both raise good issues. On the one hand, I have to think Noce has impressed enough people that some team would be willing to burn a mid-level exemption on him. In that case, he would probably want to take that and get a multi-year deal.
At the same time, some of the names being thrown around (Kobe, KG, even Randolph) have pretty huge salaries. If the Bulls want to swing a trade, they're going to have to at least get close to those big salaries with their return package, to be CBA-compliant. It wouldn't surprise me if either PJ or Noce was offered a ridiculously large 1-year deal in order to serve as ballast for a trade for some other team's big-$ guy.
But I don't forsee, as this diarist proposed, all 3 of these guys being part of sign-and-trade deals.

What the hell
Let me ask you a question other than this dude can play in the post, give me one good reason why the bulls would want this BUM!!

Just One
What does this guy bring to the table, besides being able to post?
Ohh I almost forgot, wasn't this the guy that was found missing after his cousins girlfriend died? I heard something like he took off three games to tend to the matter, and then later was arrested in Indiana at a strip club after the Trailblazers had no idea where he was. Please someone tell me if this is true, because if it is he does not belong on this team.

there's a Randolph post
It doesn't surprise me that of all the trouble Zach Randolph has gotten himself in, you're so uninformed that a visit to strip club (oh my! how awful!) tops your list.

ohh my
And no he wouldn't be the best player on this team. He got 16 per for a terrible lottery team how is that impressive? How many rebounds did he get? Once again you haven't given me one reason how he would fit this team. Ohh and I don't feel like searching for your reasons, so why don't you just give me one or two of the plenty that you supposedly have.

You should really get your facts straight
He would def be the best player on this team. A proven scorer that can rebound and draw double teams constantly. And he doesn't need to be a defensive stopper having ben Wallace next to him. He was the 16th in per, in the west. He was one of only a handfull of players in the league to average 20-10.
