The Bulls should try to make a trade for T-Mac. I've said it before and I'll say it again. T-Mac gives us the scorer/playmaker that we have been missing.
I think we should try to keep either Deng or Gordon if we trade for him b/c we need an athletic 2nd go to guy to team up with T-Mac. It's a shame that T-Mac really has never had that. He's been 1 and done several times but you can't blame it on him. He's usually been playing a better team with more talent on it. I guess things like that don't stop Lebron but they do most players.
What would it take to get T-Mac? Would the Rockets be interested in Tyrus? I think the Rockets would like any players from the list below
Deng
Gordon
Nocioni
Hinrich
Noah
Gooden (for the expiring contract)
Thabo
Would the Rockets be willing to trade T-Mac & Scola. It seems like both fit our system well and from watching the games it seems like T-Mac really liked Scola.
How about one of the packages below for T-Mac/Scola & other fillers
1. Kirk/Thabo/Gooden/Tyrus & our pick for Tmac/Scola/Alston
(I really like this trade. We keep Deng and Gordon. T-mac makes both better and they are the best 2-3 punch T-mac has ever had. Our gaurd rotation becomes Tmac, Gordon, Alston, Hughes. We could resign Duhon if we want some security at PG or we could sign a free agent. We have to keep Hughes but as a backup he might fit as another scoring option off the bench. We still have Nocioni off the bench to give us a spark. I think we become favorites in the east with this deal if it is made before the start of the season, We improve our outside shooting by adding T-mac who gives open looks for Gordon/Nocioni/Alston)
2. Gooden/Hughes/Deng & our pick for Tmac/Scola
(We have to give up on Deng but we keep Thabo & Kirk. We have a big backcourt with Kirk/Tmac/Tyrus or Kirk/Tmac/Nocioni)
3. Gordon/Gooden/Nocioni & our pick for Tmac & Scola
(We lose a scorer but get one in return. I really want to keep Gordon if we get Tmac but if we have to trade him so be it. Just don't trade him and Deng together)
Anyway, what other trades would work?????
