Trade of The Day (Bulls/Clippers)

Wh this works for us:

We get rid of Thabo to clear up the logjam (face it guys, Larry Hughes is untradeable), and we get a real center for a wannabe power forward playing center.

Why this works for the Clippers:

They get a defensive shooting guard (as long as Thabo shuts down Kobe, the rest of the league will think this) to back up Gordon (Eric Gordon, not Ben Gordon), and a power forward, so Marcus Camby can go to center.

Our Rotation After This:

PG: Derrick Rose plays 32 minutes here and Kirk Hinrich plays 16 minutes here.

SG: Ben Gordon plays 32 minutes here, and Kirk Hinrich plays 16 minutes here.

SF: Luol Deng plays 32 minutes here and Andres Nocioni plays 16 minutes here.

PF: Tyrus Thomas plays 32 minutes here and Andres Nocioni plays 16 minutes here.

C: Chris Kaman plays 32 minutes here and Joakim Noah plays 16 minutes here.

This takes advantage of our so-called "incredible depth, and it takes advantage of our tweeners. Remember, being a tweener isn't a bad thing, it just mean you'll come off the bench and back up two people.

Why would the Clippers trade one of their best players,

one who happens to be one of the few true centers in this league? You figure their best players, in order, are: Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman, Al Thornton, Eric Gordon, Cuttino Mobley, and then everyone else.

I mean, do you think they need a defensive 2?

As for Gooden, he’s a really good value at $7 million, but then again, so is Kaman at $9 million.

I guess it comes down to this: the rarest commodities in the league are 1’s and 5’s. They have an all-league 1 in Baron Davis. And they have one of the few true 5’s in the league in Kaman.

Camby is a traditional 5 only on the defensive side of the floor. I just don’t see any offense in him. So why would the Clippers do this deal?

This trade only helps us

The only thing it does for the Clips is make them suck. If this deal was on the table even Pax would be running towards the bull-phone.

I agree

I agree with everyone else. This trade is extremely unbalanced in our favor. No way it would happen.

So when you say "Trade of the Day," do you literally intend to post a trade idea

every day? I realize that sounds sarcastic, but it only partially is. I’m just wondering if you’re a Sam Smith type that enjoys trying to come up with various trades that work and are (at least somewhat) reasonably good for both teams, or if you’re seriously set on hoping that Pax makes a trade in the near future. For what it’s worth, it seems like the former (Sam Smith trader hobby type), since you keep changing which players you’re trading away.
