Trade Idea with Golden State


Golden State gets:

 

Hinrich (9.5, 9 and 8)

Gray (1)

unprotected 1st rounder in 2010

 

Chicago gets:

 

Maggette (8.9, 9.6, 10.2, 10.9)

Randolph (1.8, 1.9, 2.9 team option, 4 qualifying)

 

Why they do it?

 

Chicago - Provides a scoring option at the 2, allowing Salmons who is too slow at the 2 to move back to the 3.  Adds some front court depth in a young, high ceiling player in Randolph with a very friendly contract. 

Golden State - Saves 1.2m this summer because Gray comes off the books, 3.5m next year then 5.1m in 2011 and finally at least 10.9m in 2012.  Adds a player that can play with one less year than Maggette's contract, and a friendly declining one at that, gives them a solid pick in next year's draft, unprotected.

 

Hoopshype just reported that Golden State really wants to trade Maggette and the best way to get Randolph is in a trade with Maggette, though there likely aren't many takers out there for him.  With a lot of financial relief in the next four years and an unprotected pick, Golden State gets a bit out of this deal and Chicago improves right away without sacrificing the expiring contracts of Miller (12.2) or James (6.6) that can be used to trade for a star before this year's deadline, or allowed to expire allowing Chicago to sign a premier player in the summer.  Trading away Hinrich doesn't hurt because Maggette is a much better fit for Chicago's needs (scoring at the 2 guard) and Chicago also gets a great young player in Randolph.  Giving up Gray is hardly worth mentioning and the unprotected 1st rounder is fine because this team has enough youth already (Johnson, Gibson, Rose, Tyrus, Noah then Randolph) and should be focusing on building a deep playoff worthy team from this summer and on.

I don't hate Randolph

but Maggette would all but guarantee Rose leaving. Corey makes Allen Iverson look like John Stockton (as far as basketball IQ goes). I really don’t like Maggette at all.

Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that Linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best.- Walter Payton

Maggette’s contract is horrifying…who negotiated that? That contract, plus greatly increased playing time for Pargo & Hunter means this not only SHOULDN’T happen…but also it WON’T happen. Bulls would have to add a decent backup PG to avoid that nightmare, and I believe that would put them into the luxury tax.

Morrow

I’ve been trying to figure out a trade that gets the Bulls Morrow, but can’t come up with anything reasonable for both teams. Bulls need someone to make 3s and Morrow does that. Randolph is Tyrus II. Look, if the Bulls couldnt develop Tyrus, what makes anyone think they can help Randolph grow? They are similar players.

Maggette has a terrible rep as a ball hog

and i defioniely wouldnt give up a pick in a deal to get him. yet, if it were a deal that cleared cap space and brought talent, i thionk id consider it.

but this trade doesnt seem to do that

Maggette is hot garbage. His contract is huge and he never ever passes. No thanks. Azubuike or Morrow would be gravy but I want no part of Maggette.

Didn’t realize Maggette was so atrocious. Not that I thought his contract was good, but it’s not like Hinrich’s is either and Hinrich is too expensive as our backup PG and we need a scoring 2 guard.

I figured, in a year or two won’t we want to pay an extra 2-3m a year for 1-2 talented guys (Randolph and Maggette)? That’s what we’d be paying in this trade by giving up Hinrich, who won’t expire for a few years anyways, so I figured it’s a decent upgrade for us without jeopardizing our expirings.

Maggette can score but he can’t shoot. There is a difference. The only skill he has is getting to the line, because he just charges headdown and throws up whatever. No thanks.

by C Smoove on Dec 23, 2009 1:01 PM CST reply actions  

Maybe he could teach Rose that one skill and we’d indirectly benefit from this trade anyways?
