the timberwolves made a proposal to LA to trade them KG. the proposal is a 4 team deal, and the other 2 teams are indiana and boston.
LA would get KG
BOS would get jermaine oneal (i think)
MIN would get the 5 pick and al jefferson
IND would get andrew bynum and lamar odom
I know for sure Boston has pulled out of this deal. If a deal is going to move KG to LA its going to be just between them, unless of course its a 3 way involving Kobe coming to the Bulls, LA getting KG and minny getting Bulls talent.
Ainge wants no part of it, we know that already:
Celtics step out bc they dont want to give up al jefferson, four way trade breaks down
Bulls step up and replace celtics, four way trade gets back underway
Bulls Get: Jermaine Oneal
Bulls send to Minny: BG, Du, Vic, #9, sign and trade PJ (minny also gets lakers #19 and maybe something else)
see my thread on this that starts with Chad Ford's article reporting the 4 way trade and the celtics balking at Mchale's rejection of their offer and demanding Jefferson
I only hope Mchale wont demand Deng
Any version of this deal is ridiculous.
Im not sure if adding Jermaine and subtracting gordon would do the trick. In any case, even if the trade fails for thosee other teams, that is good for us because we can again be able to deal with them (probably that whole Kobe thing).
I have another question to pose on all the trades: what do you guys think will ACTUALLY happen. Every year there are huge free agents out there and the Bulls are not usually the ones that land one (BWall is the exception.) So what will really happen for the Bulls?
Let's stop coming up with our OWN trade ideas and start talking about ones that might actually have some merit.
Boston pulling out of the deal makes this situation interesting. Realgm.com indicated that LA and MIN are trying to work something out. LA does not have much to offer. It would be a crime if LA gets KG for Odom, Bynum, a draft pick and filler. If that's all MIN wants, then we should try to get KG. If all it takes is your second best player, a high upside frontcourt player, a draft pick and filler then we can offer a better deal. We could part with BG, TT, Duhon and Noc for KG. We would probably need to throw in others to match salary but maybe it could be done.
