Boozer to Chicago, Hinrich to Portland? Tyrus Thomas to Utah?

Great trade for everyone.

Except Tyrus Thomas.

They have Millsap to fill the starting role and probably feel that Thomas still has potential. He's a young, very athletic forward who with the right coaching could be a pretty good player. I would certainly take Thomas if I were the Jazz, he could be a worth while investment.

Why wouldn't they want him?

I hate giving up on Thomas, but I love the trade. Boozer can score and will be a FA after the season, giving the Bulls money to go after Wade or Bosh, both Chicago natives.

We need a solid backup PG and we will be set.

They are haters. His can block shots, rebound and is starting to get a nice mid range jumper.

I don't think he will ever live up to his potential.

I thought Bosh was from Dallas. Which is why the Mavs are targeting him next year.

You are right. I read something that said he went to high school there, but looking at it further, he is indeed from Dallas. I guess the link to Chicago is that he grew up a Bulls fan.

I don't see Hinrich as much of upgrade to Blake. We can write Blazers off as contenders for the next 3 years now. heheh

POR is reportedly holding up the deal because of their unwillingness to include Bayless in the deal. POR is getting greedy but in their defense CHI was them a couple of years ago now their depth has dwindled.
