New Bulls Trade Rumors Involving Crappier Players
Well it looks like the Amare rumors are dead, which would also kill any Bosh deal since that was a three-way deal involving Amare as well. We can still hold out hope that it’s not dead, but it seems highly unlikely at this point. But don’t hang your heads! Paxson won’t stand pat this time, as it appears he is going after the much-coveted Brian Cardinal of the Minnesota Timberwolves:
[S]ources 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.
The article also talks about a three-way deal with the Suns for Amare, but as discussed above that is not likely. I guess if we move Hinrich’s contract this is just a decent salary dump. Who’s going to wear a bald-head hat with me to celebrate the Cardinal acquisition if it happens?

Worse yet will be the possibility that Hughes will have to play again because then we would be short-handed in the backcourt. Gross.

I will be pisssssssssssed if Paxson actually goes through with this bullshit. I’ve already revealed my man-crush on Kirk Hinrich and how it would be difficult to see him in any trade, but this? Who ever wants anybody from the Minnesota T-wolves not named Kevin Garnett? Pax, you have pieces to build a good team, don’t waste it on shedding salary.

New latest buzz:
“The Kings likewise have talked with Chicago about a still-developing swap that would net Andres Nocioni and Drew Gooden’s $7.2 million expiring contract for [Brad] Miller and swingman John Salmons.”
So stupid.

Why do the Bulls need payroll relief? If this happens I think I’ll just wig out.
