It's not a smartass comment if it's true -- Chandler has no offensive game.

I'd rather have P.J. Brown for one season and then a better big man after that than watch Chandler continue to "live up to expectations" for the next 5 years at $54 million.

I'm pretty sure that we will be able to sign/draft a big man after next season who will be better than Chandler and earn less money.

The sad fact is that Antonio Davis probably did more for us than Tyson Chandler ever did and he was an old geezer. Being young doesn't mean much when the young player sucks.

Some uncomfirmed news, someone on RealGM claims ESPN radio said the deal was nearly dead because of one of the teams getting cold feet. Again, not confirmed but the guy is someone I recognize as a good contributor, and wouldnt just pull this out of his ass to get a response.

This is under the assumption that we dont have enough money by the end of the year to cover them all. If we win more with Wallace who should bring more fans, and sell more merchandise and we could sign them back.

Player wise, from rumors around draft time most likely Duhon. I dont care who hed get rid of because its not my chocie, whatever makes us better, and we really only need four guards, Kirk, Gordon, Noch, whether you consider him an sf or sg since Tyrus came, will all stay, and thefolosha who is a bigger version of duhon from what ive heard.

Trade the overpaid bum for Carlos Boozer or Troy Murphy then.

Or maybe it's because Pax has his eyes set on Garnett.

Well then this is useless to argue back and forth about the same damn thing when Id go one way and youd go the oppostie, and just for the record if this deal goes through im gonna laugh my ass off when tyson becomes a star in a new system.

All year in game threads, people would either like chandler or not, but you wouldnt know that because you joined today. One game he throws up all star numbers and the other he flops, hes shed light in games that he can become a good player. Nobody here will give him a chance and have all jumped on the PJ Brown bandwagon with exception of a few. Hell I remember the playoff threads and he played well in most games and everyone wanted him to stay in the game but he couldnt because of fouls which have limited his game minutes considerably effecting his stats.

Then let him go be a star in a new system. Obviously, our system wasn't working for him. Get his ass out of here. I'm tired of people defending him becaue he has potential. It's been 5 freaking years...oh and by the way, to whoever said Tyson had more potential than anyone in next years draft...well, that just might be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard in my enitre lifetime. Oden could take Chandler at this very freaking moment. Guess what, Oden actually had size and a a low post offensive game. The Tyson slurpers need to give it a rest.

I doubt the Bulls get Oden so we shouldnt have to worry, Bulls most likely have a lower pick next yr which wont net us a superstar.

Also whoever said Oden was comin out next year.

The Deal is Dead ESPN 1000 reporting... atleast for now, my guess is there exploring the KG trade

Bulls are gonna have to give up a helluv alot to get KG, dont see it happening.

Im under the idea that if we didnt get Ben we would have went for KG or the other way around. But we can hope.

I don't necessarily think that. I think that they're two different players, with one (KG) being able to do it all, but more of an offensive than defensive player, and the other (Big Ben) being a shut-down defender. They would work great together, and if we got rid of Tyson, that would free up lots of cap room to help absorb KG's monsterous contract.

Plus, because we're pretty deep, getting KG wouldn't mean giving up the rest of our team. We'd still have plenty to surround him with.

That first rounder next year is looking very valuable, but not many people are going to take that risk to get rid of KG. However, with the possibility of getting Greg Oden with that pick, it may be worth the risk to Minne. I dont want to lose Deng AT ALL, as a matter of fact I dont want to lose any of Kirk, BG, Deng, Noc and to a lesser extent Thabo, Tyrus, or Malik. I'd be more than happy giving up Tyson, Khryapa, Duhon, Sweets and a couple firsts, but chances are Minne wants more than that. Honestly, what we give up to get KG in one of the first four I mention is too much IMO, and it hurts us more than KG helps us.

As long as the Bulls don't give up Deng and Hinrich I have no problem with the Bulls trading Chandler and whatever else the other team wants as long as the Bulls get a low-post scoring threat.
The first round pick that the Bulls have next year will never be as highly valued as it is now, because if the Knicks do anything then Oden is out the window. So if the Bulls can trade that pick, Chandler, and whoever else needed for a solid low post scorer that would be perfect for the Bulls next season.

Even if the Bulls trade for P.J. Brown and if he can't do what the Bulls expect for them offensively at least they should have enough cap space next year to find someone you can at least contribute in the post.

Very interesting. This could very well be good news. I think I am more comfortable sticking with Tys and if the Bulls fear the luxury cap they can take care of that by moving Chandler a year from now (when we'll have a much better idea of Tys).

That or go out and get a legit player.

ESPN may have a more up to date source on the situation (saying the deal is off) but Arn Tellem (JR Smith's agent) seems to be hinting that the deal will still get done.

This could be info that was told to the reporter prior to the Bulls backing out.

"The deal IS NOT DEAD, period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malik Allen is also NOT involved in the trade. If this deal doesn't happen, it isnt me or my source that called it wrong. If that happens, I'll explain that at a later date. I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE that this has ALREADY been agreed to and that certain officials from either or both the Hornets and Bulls don't want to report it to the media yet, just in case some ridiculous offer is made for one of the principles involved in the trade. Let me make it clear, this trade cannot officially happen until July 12. Thus, neither the Hornets and Brower nor the Bulls and Paxson are in any rush to confirm this trade merely because fans and message boards "Want to know right now." Unless you hear a spokesperson from either the Bulls or Hornets say that this deal is dead, DO NOT TRUST ANY FOOL IN THE MEDIA."

Well... i guess the deal is set... PJ will be joining the Bulls. Also, the guy that wrote is VERY realiable... i guess he maybe be part of the team, or i dunno... But all i know is that he's been calling everything. He said that Peja and Bobby Jackson would be signing w/ the Hornets like a week before it hapened.
