re: Rumor: Bulls/Wiz talking trade: Deng for #3/Okafor?

Chicago may want #3, but this would be an odd way to do it.
Butler is cheaper than Luol Deng, but getting Oak means that the Bulls will have nearly $50m tied up in four big men (Oak, Boozer, Noah, Taj Gibson).
I could see Oak being used as a trade chit, but that $14m contract of his makes it hard for them to get much salary relief in sending him out. The teams with a lot of money open, like Cleveland and Utah, don't really want to spend $14m on a middling big man.

Well, according to some reports, if this trade goes through, Chicago would get the MLE back, and they could resign Nate Robinson or Marco Belenelli, or bring Korver back.
I think this move would set them back for next year, but would brighten the future.
Problem is, there are no guarantees with what Rose will look like in the future.
