Look at the Iverson deal - the guy is a superstar and Denver still got him for Andre miller and two mid-firsts.
I'd do KG for Tyrus, Duhon, PJ, and EITHER Nocioni or our swap option w/NYK, but not both.
With the way Gordon has been playing lately, I'd have a hard time trading him. Deng the same. Hinrich has been in a slump lately but he's a good young PG and I'd have a hard time trading him too.
huge difference between trading AI and trading KG... iverson brings more baggage than, um, a baggage handler, and philly had zero leverage 'cause everyone knew he had to be traded.
the only way minnesota should trade garnett is if they get young talent, picks and cap relief.
plus, a trade of thomas, duhon, brown and nocioni would be an illegal trade because the salaries don't match up.
in order for the deals to match up salary wise, the bulls would have to send Brown, Nocioni, Thomas, Duhon and either Deng or Sweetney. and minnesota would be stupid (which they have proven to be before) if they traded Garnett without getting a chip in the Oden lottery in return... so they would need the knicks pick swap rights, too.
if the bulls want garnett, they'll have to break the bank to do so. of course it would be easier if they could convince minnesota to take ben wallace's obscene contract in the deal, but that would just be silly on minnesota's part.
of course if the bulls hadn't signed wallace and just sat on the cap room, a trade for Garnett would be much, much easier. whoops.
(note... my trade has a RealGM trade ID of 3565923 if you'd like to check it out yourself)
