Love the thought process, but I don’t think it’ll happen.

Sorry .. but the Bulls absolutely love Gooden. They envision him being what Ben Wallace never was for them – and with Deng, they’re hoping things are pretty set. Additionally, Al isn’t what the Bulls need/want. With Gooden at the 4, likely with Deng at the 3, and Nocioni off the bench .. why do they need Al? I can see the argument that Al’s contract is shorter, but Chicago wants a PG, not another tweener forward.

Next, you cannot simply trade “a first rounder” for Haslem. If salary cap restrictions were thrown out, then it can happen. Too many things have to happen (Baron opt out, for example) for this to even come close to happening.

Calderon wants to be a starter and will likely be that with Toronto, who is looking to trade TJ Ford.

It was a nice lineup at least, but not the most likely scenario.

there are only a few players that would work salary wise with teams willing to trade: Mike Miller 9M/10M, Eddy Curry ( 9M,10M,11M), Ron Artest (7.5M), Chris Wilcox (6.8M), see anything you like? Otherwise free agent potentials: Chris Duhon, Melvin Eli, Diop, Najera, JR Smith, Carl Landry, Kurt Thomas, Jarvis Hayes, James Jones, we need to improve our bench! No to Pietrus, Barnes, Croshere, CJ, POB, that leaves us our starting 5 Baron, Monta, Jax, BW, Biedrins, with Belli, Buke off the bench.

is usually way off in his rumors talk. this guy loves to make people think he has the inside scoop, but really makes it all up in his head… on the other hand, he may not be way off in this case. If the dubs continue their trend and look to build a team with a young, talented core, similar to what the blazers did. letting baron walk would give us the ability to take our pick at some youngins. (I think Duhon would be a good replacement, but that would make our backcourt really small) ...3-5 years down the line, and some of today’s best teams on their downturn by then, the dubs could be in position to be a strong contender.

we need to draft a sg sized pg to play along with Monta, 6’4” – 6”6” 200-220lb athletic, skilled pg/sg with great ball handling skills that can defend, penetrate and finish. This would give Baron some needed rest and have a nice 3 guard rotation to help on defense when Monta plays the 2. Westbrook, CDR, Rush, Gordon, would all be available and maybe we could even trade down or use our trade exemption to gain an extra pick. Our Warriors score enough points, but in order to win more games, we need to find a defensive skilled guard who excels on defending the opposing teams best player. I still think that Artest would be great on this team, he is a phenomenal defender at 260 lbs he can guard sg/sf/pf . Hopefully he learns from Jax and can be mature enough to control his emotions and just play.

Get Russell Westbrook at 14. He’s a winner, Pac-10 Defensive POY, size, Brendan Wright already plays decent Defense and is athletic so no Darrell Arthur. CDR is another swingman who chokes at the foul line so he’s a no. Whatever big man the Warriors pick up will be a project so stay with BW. We have enough swingman Jackson, Pietrus (he’ll be gone), Barnes, Kelenna, Ellis, Harrington, Belinelli. Trade a Barnes or Kelenna and Harrington for a big man who rebounds and plays D. No center if available, unless B. Lopez falls which won’t happen. Joey Dorsey in Round 2 would be a good choice.
