its probably not true but i dont want any piston playing for the bulls, especially one with that rediculous mask. not to mention alot of bulls players hate the guy.

i would do gordon for rip in a second. Deng and Gordon for Rip. NO! Somewhere in the middle, maybe.

People just seem to put Deng in every offer out there, even if it doesn't make sense for us to give up two starters for the player in question and that Detroit already has a very solid option in Prince at SF.

The way they describe that contract, I can see the Bulls doing it only if 3 players are included, since I think that even in a sign and trade Gordon or Deng would still count as BYC, correct? They could do Hinrich for him almost straight up, or they could pair Gordon with Nocioni or Gooden.

As much as I'd like to move Noc's contract...I really don't want to see him on Detroit. Man I'd hate facing him on defense.

I hope you all are joking. Rip is 30 going to be 31 before next season starts. He's too old and he doesn't do anything that Deng doesn't do or can't learn to do. You trade away our best outside shooter for someone who doesn't hit 3's and we become a jump shooting team that can't hit any 3's. If you are a jump shooting team and nobody on your team is a realiable threat from the arc you are simply a losing team.

Richard Hamilton is a punk ass skinny little bastard that just so happens to be on my "Most hated player ever" list, so no.

agreed. i think hes on tyrus thomas' most hated player list too.

Yeah. I think if you trade Rip to a Bulls team with Tyrus on it and there might not be a Rip anymore.

I could only see the Bulls doing this if they could keep Deng, Noah, and the #1 pick. I think any combo of Gordon/Hinrich plus Nocioni and/or someone else would intrigue the Bulls b/c RIP's contract is up in 2010 when the BIG Free Agency summer is supposed to be.

It would get Noc's awful contract off the books for that summer, and we'd really only be on the hook for Deng's contract (assuming we resign Deng to a big deal and get rid of Hinrich). Tyrus and Thabo would be free agents that summer so you could re-sign them after you sign LeBron/Bosh/Wade/Carmelo. Noah and the #1 pick would still be on rookie contracts. And if Gooden is re-signed, then he'd be on the books at about $7-8 million/yr.

I could like a team like this for the next 2 years:
PG- Rose
SG- RIP
SF- Deng
PF- Gooden
C- Noah

Why was this thread started? This was written by a Detroit writer. Yes, that is the source of this crap idea. His crap ideas are no better than any of ours here. Why not start a 'Lebron to the Bulls' thread ?

This was complete BS created by the Pistons loving writer.

I wouldn't do Deng straight up for Rip, let alone throw in Gordon.
