Send out Kirk & Deng for... Championship...

PrintI have found the perfect trade partner for the Bulls- the Denver Nuggets. This team is the ying to the Bulls yang. Their coach understands what Paxson already knows about his own team; they need to make major changes if they are going to compete with the top team’s in their conference. Denver has too much scoring and not enough defense. Here me out before you start bashing. The Bulls need to finally part ways with a couple of their favorite players to bring in a superstar. I am not a huge Carmelo Anthony fan, but he is available, and he is a superstar. He might not play too much D or have too much heart on the defensive end, but if you surround him with Tyrus, Thabo, & Noce, they can help cover Melo’s defensive deficiencies, and take the pressure off them on the offensive end.
Here is my proposed package:
Bulls Send to Denver: Deng, Kirk, Gooden.
Bulls Receive: Melo & Nene.
After this trade the Bulls draft Rose & resign BG. The Bulls add a superstar & some beefy height in Nene. Without filling out the entire roster, this is how the top 8 players shape up.
PG- Rose
SG- Thabo/ BG
SF- Melo/ Noce
PF- Tyrus
C- Noah / Nene
Oh yeah & Hughes.
Denver has 1 defensive player and only guys who want to score. They also need to shake things up. They are stuck with a bunch of long-term contracts, especially in the frontcourt with Nene, Camby, & Kmart all around 10-13 mil a year. Also, there are not enough shots to go around for Melo, AI, & JR Smith. Deng will replace Melo with a more all around game & Kirk will complement JR or AI in the backcourt. Finally, Gooden will provide a solid big body and cap relief for Denver with his expiring deal
Kirk
Iverson/ JR Smith
Deng
Kmart/ Gooden
Camby
I’m not sure if this will work money wise because things get confusing with Deng situation & base year compensation, but at first glance, it looks like it can work.
Melo (BYC) 13 M + Nene 12M
Kirk 11M+ Gooden 8 M + Deng (9-12 Mil Range ?) + Trade Exception (5 M?)
Imagine this: Rose breaking his man down off the dribble. He is at the free-throw line. He has a wide-open Ben Gordon on his left and a wide-open Melo on his right, but instead he throws an alley-oop to Tyrus. Sweet. Okay - bash away, but I did call the Hughes for Corpse trade two weeks before it went down.

Sounds good except....
i dont want Nene he is hurt way too much…i would prefer Camby….Kirk, Deng, Gooden and next yrs first rounder which is better than what the Nets are offering
CHICAGO MANE!!!!
Don't like it
Mello is trash and Nene is trasher. I’d rather deal with Minnesota for Corey Brewer and the (#3 pick to be used on Brook Lopez). Trust me, I’m from the future.
and have Corey Brewer chained up in the basement.

Dude
All those Florida kids will be HOFs in 20 years except for Taurean Green who’ll only make the All-Star team 4 times.
Noah, Brewer, and Horford?
All HOF’s? Wow. That’s pretty ridiculous imo.

Dont knock their chances for the hall
mostly because its the Basketball Hall of Fame, and they prefer to put in college guys who do well rather than pros who do well, and foreign coaches.
Trade sounds nice in fantasy land, where nene is healthy and has a last name and trade exceptions are allowed to be combined with players. In real life not so much
Thats exactly why I knocked it
The Basketball Hall of Fame would much rather induct a European Coach or College Coach or whomever than actually opening things up to include more deserving players.

Seriously
Haven’t people been talking about this trade since the lottery? thought it was already killed, reborn, then killed again by Melo’s agent.
The rumor was killed before the lottery
We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look.

Let's NEVER bring up Melo Again
Between him and Deng + Gooden + Hinrich, I’d keep the 3. Gooden’s a keeper for the 4, Kirk’s an upgrade over Duhon. If the best we are getting over that is a defensive blackhole and a made-of-glass big man, I’d say we trade for Brook Lopez and his little brother.
I want Carmello...
This team would be great with him!!!

Do it...
I just want to see what d’antoni could do with hinrich….
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, Bullshooter, and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light....
I think you're on the right track now
I know you’re a big Hinrich fan, and what will be best for him is to get on another team where he’ll get a full share of playing time.
If the top point guards in the draft are gone by #6, the Knicks might actually be induced to do that deal. (Well, probably not, but it’d at least be worth a conversation.)

even if they do
who do you want back from the Knicks? they’re not going to increase their spending any more. Even Marbury, Crawford, #6 and the option to swap picks for the next 2 years for Hinrich and Hughes isn’t equal value.
and they wouldn’t even give us the option, they’re smarter now.
For the record, Jamal Crawford is sometimes selfish, often frustrating, and I still love him, and Marbury would be bought out.
and also
I’m a big Hinrich fan, and I want us to draft Rose and trade Kirk at next year’s deadline, more value. And maybe this belongs in the trade hinrich thread, since I didn’t address Deng, or the crazy Nuggets foolishness above, but, I really don’t want to trade him this summer unless we get some crazy shit like Redd, Richardson, or Joe Johnson, you know, a borderline all-star. preferred in reverse order.
I really just want their draft pick
I’m just taking the opportunity to parrot my past comments—and bring Sam along to prop them up.
I’m sure you’re right though—that they’re too smart for that now.
