The Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves have been exchanging trade proposals that include a possible three-way deal with the Suns that would send Stoudemire to the Bulls, a Western Conference executive said Tuesday night.
So far, nothing that the Bulls and Wolves have brainstormed has brought the Suns closer to moving Stoudemire. Nevertheless, one proposed deal would send Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas to Phoenix, along with the expiring contracts of Chicago’s Drew Gooden and Minnesota’s Jason Collins. Minnesota would receive the player it covets – Chicago guard Kirk Hinrich – and Bulls guard Thabo Sefolosha.

Good to see
our front office making some effort. With picks and expirings to offer we are a logical trade partner for moving Amare or other as the case may be.
Is Hinrich worth “coveting” though?
I don't know about Hinrich,
but I’ve always really liked Sefolosha, I think he could use a change of scenery. He could fill a real need.

...and
the Yahoo! rumor goes on with this:
“However, sources say the Wolves and Bulls are discussing Hinrich and Sefolosha for Collins and Brian Cardinal. The Wolves are intrigued with Hinrich’s ability to play the point and off-guard and see him as a good complement to Randy Foye. Collins and Cardinal have shorter-term contracts that bring Chicago payroll relief.”
Kirk is on the books though ‘11/’12, and Thabo through ‘10/’12.
Eh. Eh?
Really like what you guys are doing, by the way.

Thanks Solomon!
Just added your feed to my Reader.
The nice thing about Kirk’s contract is it’s descending. So is Nocioni’s, so Hinrich+Deng+Noc actually stays around $27m/year for another 3 years.
I guess Paxson isn’t completely inept

Hinrich
To be honest, I don’t mind this idea. Hinrich could be a nice combo to put with Foye. Hinrich can guard shooting guards and Foye can guard point guards, but still play off the ball. It’s not like we’re giving up much either.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Dalembert and Hinrich? These are the rumors. This week can’t pass soon enough with ideas like this.

Exactly how I felt
Wolves need to remember that Hinrich’s production has just fallen off a cliff. Why add a salary like that?
maybe?
the bulls would eat part of his salary? that’s the only way I’d do a deal for Hinrich, who I actually like a lot. He’s had some injury issues this year and playing time logjam w. Rose & Gordon, but I think he’d definitely improve the Wolves.
in a best-case scenario he’d come w. Noah but Sefolosha wouldn’t be a bad replacement for Shaddy and Carney.
Noah would..
….make it semi-palatable, but still terrible.

Agreed
We’d use these assets to get hinrich (who’s less of an upgrade and has probably a worse contract) but we wouldn’t throw in a bit more to get Chandler? That would piss me off.
Must be more to it. If we’re going to land the Bulls an all-star, we’ve got to get more in return. . .
Thank god we’ve got a clear pecking order in the front office . . . Oh wait.
The Wizards Idea
Is way more interesting and has more long-term upside than this one.
Don’t throw away our flexibility unless it provides a high percentage long-term benefit.

It looks like...
…Hinrich would need to come in another trade after the Bulls and Kings pulled off a trade that involved Gooden among others.

yep..
….the Bulls just took on $8 mil extra in 09/10 salary.
