Why Gibson, though? That extension which kicks in next season is fricking ugly, as he gets paid between $7.5m and $9m a season between 2013-2014 and 2016-2017.
Deng has been on the block for awhile now because Chicago doesn't want to pay to amnesty Boozer or pay a lot of taxes. Gordon for Deng straight up does nothing to lower their costs, so that's just what I feel Chicago would be looking for. It seems crazy that a large market contender still feeding off leftovers from the Jordan era would be cheap but they are.
The emergence of Jimmy Butler could change things a bit if they feel he can start at SF. If Butler makes Deng replaceable with a cheaper contract and Gordon lets you waive Rip Hamilton then they save $5 million swapping Gordon for Deng which makes that deal more sellable to Chicago.

Ideal Offseason (2013 Edition)
Any moves or improvements (health, team chemistry) that get the Pels to a 40+ win team and playoff contender.

nice but i would love to upgrade gravy. one year left on the contract, had a contract earning year, and roberts on the roster for about $0.30. i'ld flip him for a sg/outside shooter type.

This is exactly correct.
I concocted a trade to get Deng here for Gordon back in February just to prove that you could get quality back for him, and that most of the motivation for Chicago. I had Boozer leaving, too.

FAs: Chase Budinger, Andray Blatche, Randy Foye
Trade: Greivis Vasquez, Darius Miller, and 2014 top-10 protected 1st to Magic, Aaron Afflalo to Clippers, Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler to Pelicans (McNamara, 2013.)
Draft: Shabazz Muhammad
PG: Eric Bledsoe/Austin Rivers
SG: Eric Gordon/Randy Foye
SF: Caron Butler/Chase Budinger/Shabazz Muhammad
PF: Anthony Davis/Ryan Anderson/Jason Smith
C: Andray Blatche/Robin Lopez/Jason Smith
Bledsoe and Gordon reunite and prove to be studs.
At SF, Budinger or Muhammad possibly show out and win the starting job. If not, fall back on the steady and proven Butler.
Obviously Davis mans the 4 with Anderson running with the 2nd unit.
Bring in Blatche as a buy low candidate at center. Only 26, he has already logged 8 NBA and has proven he can be a starter in the league (184 starts, 15/8/1 46%FG 74%FT). He is currently playing well with Brooklyn's 2nd unit in the playoffs. You can even platoon him and Lopez.
While it may not be fancy, you are buying into guys you think will break out.. Bledsoe, Rivers, Gordon, Budinger, Blatche. Sprinkle in seasoned vets like Foye, Butler, Anderson, Lopez, Smith. In the end, you save some money for a big FA in 2014 and still field a potential playoff team
