KC Johnson: Salmons to be traded, sitting out Knicks game
[From the FanShots. Looks like I picked the wrong hour to be away from the internet -ed.]
Per KC Johnson twitter: "Bulls management has told Salmons to remain at team hotel as it works to finalize a trade. Won't play vs. Knicks."

Oooh, baby
Time to log into my twitter for the update from KC on details.
It’s all about the details….
All your base are belong to Vinny.
Kurt is assuredly staying this season
Salmons is considered to be the most talented player in the trade. But the Bulls would be receiving a player or two who could help them the rest of this season with both on expiring deals.As a result, the Bulls could get to approximately $18 million under the salary cap for next season. A maximum deal is expected to be about $16 million to $16.5 million.
All your base are belong to Vinny.
cmon lakers.....
you know you want kurt!

Wowwwwww......
Just read this on ESPN.com.
Unbelievable – best news of the trade deadline reports. Exciting.
Houston is the most likely destination
Don’t you think?
spurs? with tyrus?

Me too, my guess
Mason for Salmons. Spurs reportedly working with his manager to get him off team.

yea
i think he’s the kind of guy that pop would do well with.. i can only see him helping them.. and i dont how the numbers work, but they were trying to get rid of mcdyess..

YES, finally!
Least favorite player of all. Though I may be biased because of that ridiculous rag he calls a beard/goatee/whatever.
The article I read on the Spurs the other day said they were trying to shed salary
So I’d guess it’s not.
The Magic make good sense because with all the other contenders adding guys, you’d think they might want to try and keep up.

Ummm...
Hill was a great player., multiple time All-star. Honestly at one point at top 5 player. He was a beast. Then he got injured and we know how that went.
i've always thought
that if he did play without any injuries, then guys would compare lebron more to him than anyone else

we already have JJ
James Johnson
Go Rockets/Nets[CDR]/Bucks[Jennings]!
Jerome James too...
Thomas, Miller, Salmons, James, Pargo, Gray, MLE, and (there is no LLE thanks to the Pargo signing) will not be here with a Max Free Agent...don't get too attached.

if it's mason
he’ll get be the 2/3 instead of salmons, i assume.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
we keep tyrus, good - team is getting better and Tyrus is finally getting it
Can we throw in a coach.. slightly used.. like new??
Can Tyrus still be used
in a sign and trade if he stays?
Vinny: "[Thrust] means pace, it means getting the ball out, it means getting your back to the sidelines, it means extending your outlets, it means getting the ball up the court into our early offense with plenty of time."
If Tyrus stays with Bulls
It will prove the media is completely unreliable. Supposedly he had teams clamoring for him, and the bulls wanted to ditch him like yesterday’s garbage.
All your base are belong to Vinny.
there is reports Cavs have traded for Jamison
i wonder if Amare is now available with tyrus/brad miller, etc….???
Amare is getting traded
But to where now?
Cavs are out.
Heat?

Sort of makes sense
With Redd likely out for a while (or forever), Salmons can be a stopgap for them too.
i was honestly thinking
salmons could be part of the deal with nate robinson going to boston….boston gets Nate robison and Salmons, bulls get marquis daniels, knicks get house, pargo
Rumors did say that extra players from both sides were needed to get it done due to Nate's BYC
All your base are belong to Vinny.
Sam Smith says that the Bulls are trying to get a big man
The Bulls are trying to get back a front court player in return in the deal to ease the burden on their injured big men
Which team can offer a big man with a expiring contract?
Jannero Pargo = Larry Hughes 2.0
But seriously,
I think the Bulls could get Dwayne Jones, Rod Benson or another big man in the D-League.
why use the D-League
when the job can go to an organizational guy? I’m guessing Linton Johnson is telling everyone in his house to stay off the phone tonight.

Wouldn’t the other team have to sit the player/s we are getting tonight since Salmons is not playing to prevent injury. This is much better than renting TMac for two months and have to get rid of Miller to make it work.

it is Salmons for Kurt Thomas and Hakim Warrick.

This is getting interesting
“There are a lot of things that as an organization we’re working on, and John Salmons will not be playing. There’s things that I’m not at liberty to say,” coach Vinny De Negro said.
The Bulls had been in discussions with the Spurs on a deal that would have sent Salmons to San Antonio for Roger Mason and Matt Bonner, but those talks died.
Chicago has been eager to move Salmons, who has a player option for next season at $5.8 million, for an expiring contract or contracts to clear additional cap space for next summer.
There also was talk at the Garden that the Knicks were discussing a trade with the Bulls that would send Al Harrington to Chicago, with Harrington possibly being re-routed to a third team.
Jannero Pargo = Larry Hughes 2.0
Dang, Mason/Bonner was what I was hoping for earlier

so does this mean the trade fell through?

werent they intrested in him somewhat? Maybe we get roger mason? also amares agent was pretty sure amare would be traded by tomaro, or at least he was in the morning….

Supposed to be updated here as it progresses
clicky click
All your base are belong to Vinny.
I think this might be preparing for T-MAC.
We get a couple cheap bigs from Milwaukee to replace Miller and Tyrus who goes to Houston for TMAC who is brought in to replace Salmons. No matter what, this means Tyrus is likely gone as well.

Good point.
Miller + James + Tyrus for T-Mac?
Rose/Pargo
T-Mac/Brown
Deng/JJ
Taj/Thomas
Noah/Thomas
That would be, um, interesting.

Wow, I'm an idiot. Either that, or you can tell how badly I want Kurt traded.
Rose/Kurt
T-Mac/Kurt
Deng/JJ
Taj/Thomas
Noah/Thomas
Meh?

I don't even think the Bulls would trade Kurt if it netted them LeBron
and I’m only half-joking

why do we do this trade exactly?
no one knows what type of shape tmac is in, why not just let t2 expire here? especially considering noah’s still injured.
We just need to execute better - Lovie Del Negro
looks like bucks
Kurt (another one) Thomas, and Francisco Elson
There are really only two plays: Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket.

Rumors stated that Houston didn't want Salmons
But Bulls were pushing him on them. Bulls were out of running, so my guess is they went to plan B (or quickly found an alternate team) to deal Salmons separately.
Would be nice if it follows logic above as a precursor to Houston Tmac deal and usurps the knicks’ plan to get cap space via TMac…
SHould be interesting next few hours
All your base are belong to Vinny.
Yeah, that's what I mean
All I heard is that they didn’t want Salmons or Hinrich so I don’t get how trading Salmons hurt their chances
True - I get it
But I don’t get it, either. Same boat as you.
Hopefully Milwaukee trade opens door to make new offer to Houston, — maybe starts talks again now that new guys could be in play.
Or to Phoenix!

I have no problem with this move what so ever. Kurt Thomas is still a nice defender and rebound guy. Elson can sit the bench, or be bought out.
Now let’s send Tyrus to SA for Mason, some filler (like Theo Ratliff) and their 1st round pick.
And get Kirk out to LA
Official
Bulls and Bucks have reached agreement to trade Chicago’s John Salmons for Kurt Thomas and Francisco Elson, a league source tells Y!
can Kirk still get up and down the floor?

Just realized Kurt Thomas is 37 yrs old
Elson is 33 and out with hernia surgery, and has awful career numbers.
Sucks to be trade fodder. Goes from one crappy team to another for 30 games.
Also, I guess it means Bulls need Miller around still.
All your base are belong to Vinny.
It is official - our season starts July 1st
Salmons is much better than Kurt Thomas. Milwaukee gets better this year. Our season officially starts July 1st.
I don't think we'll miss him that much
Plus I’m glad James Johnson will see more time (he needs all the work he can get right now).
There are really only two plays: Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket.
-- Abe Lemons
Yes!!
Now we’re in the game for real. I just hate that this means more Pargo time!
Joakim on whether he ever tried tennis: "I played a little bit. If anybody on the Bulls wanted to play me, I would kick their ass."
We are in the game now!!
I see Rose driving to the basket, they converge on him and he throws it back to Joe Johnson. It is a three!! Bulls win! Bulls win!

In the proposed trade, the Rockets would get Kenny Thomas(notes), Andres Nocioni(notes), Beno Udrith and a Kings’ protected No. 1 draft pick. Sacramento would acquire Tyrus Thomas(notes), Brad Miller(notes) and Salmons from the Bulls. The deal would cleare cap space for the Bulls this summer and save the Kings as much as $15 million in salary next year.
Not a better deal
I fail to see how this deals helps the Rockets this year more than getting expirings from the Bulls. Tyrus and Miller can help them more than Nocioni and Udrih. The protected pick I guess is better, but not worth the $14 mil owed to Nocioni and Udrih next year.
Bulls can still offer Miller Tyrus and James to get McGrady
Hahaha, like the Rockets would take on two horrendous contracts for one first round pick.
