Sons, before you go all disappoint on me, hear me out

We send Gordon to Boston for Kris Humphries and Jared Sullinger

For Boston, they let Jeff Green slide to SF and Gordon to SG. Both are under contract for a few years giving them a solid foundation for a rebuild

For us, we get Humphries and his expiring $12m as well as Sullinger, who is cheap and under control for a few years. Sullinger could provide nice depth off the bench; you can never have too much of that. Stiemsma and Smith are FA after this year and we will need some size in the front court.

More importantly, it frees up some money to balance out the roster. You could spend the money on a stud or on two good players who will add to our depth. Address needs at SF and C.

If you could turn that trade into, let's say, a Danny granger and Gortat, then you'd be doing alright. Granger may come really cheap if he can't bounce back this season.

Other FA SF and C of note. Could we look for a vet presence for a few years?

Pierce
Marion
Deng
Butler

Pau
Gortat
Hawes
Okafor

There is also this

Deveney also writes that Joakim Noah still has high value around the league despite his battles with injury over the last few seasons. The Knicks would appear to be another logical landing spot for the 6’11 center, although the Pelicans, Thunder, and Mavericks are expected to be in pursuit should the Bulls place Noah on the trading block.

No way anything happens. The team's really meshing right now and the chemistry is strong. I think Dell is content to ride this wave out for better or worse, like what really can ya do when your #1 guy goes down besides frick off?

However, Tyrus Thomas is still on the market...

I like Sullinger, was sort of hoping they would draft him, and I like the idea of cap space but that feels like too little for me. Almost a tank idea. Gordon has been really good this year (still isnt converting at the rim well, but ive got faifth). I don't know if you trade a near 20 ppg scorer for this return.

Cap guys can correct me, but they should be able to get $10M or so for this summer. Should be enough under the new rules to get a decent big body and wing.

Actually like Hawes on this roster a lot. Not a big fan overall, but he makes sense with the guards and Davis and he's big enough to bang. And throwing money at Jeffrey Taylor or Draymond Green might be worth it. Weird 2nd rd pick rules, but you never know. Alan Anderson would be another guy to think about.
