And how realistic do u think it is with the teams involved?
I just put it together thinking we could get something better for Ty than just Harrington. Plus Gay is player I think works well in our system.
Here's the trade:
Chicago trades: Memphis trades:
Luol Deng to Memphis Rudy Gay, Steven Hunter, and Sam Young to Bulls
Ty Thomas and John Salmons to Utah Darrell Arthur to Jazz
Jazz Trades:
Carlos Boozer to Bulls
Why we do it:
Getting Gay gives us way more explosiveness, and better scoring at the 3. Getting Boozer gives us a big time boost scoring in the post. Plus we can still go out and grab a 2010 FA because we clear Salmons and Deng's deal off the books, while adding Boozer and Hunter's expiring contracts.
Why Memphis does it:
They have a team full of gunners, adding a guy with star potential, who doesn't need the rock in his hands all the time has to look enticing. Plus I've heard Gay and Mayo don't really get along. Mayo has been anointed their "Go to Guy".
Why Utah does it:
They get a nice complement to Milsap in Thomas and a legit SF in Salmons. They've been missing that this season. Arthur's is a young big that may be worth something, but was really just an add-in to make salaries work.
