And Deng for Beasley and trash? Heat would be so dumb to even consider that. They have Marion, who is a better SF than Deng - and Beasley is already better than Deng.

As for the Darrell Arthur talk. I'd love to see Arthur come play for Chicago. He already has a nice 15 foot jumper, and has some real nice post moves. If he can add 10-15 pounds he will be a David West type of player.

Im pretty sure he means Beasley and unwanted contracts for Hinrich,Thabo,and Tyrus.

Marion - In all likelyhood will not be in Miami for long. If he wants as much money as everyone knows he will, Miami is not going to resign him for big bucks, 2010 is right around the corner. The Heat could would love to have any of the mentioned Bulls players. They could def. use Kirk at PG since they have absolutely no one at that spot. Thabo a top G sub off the bench, Deng a perfect diversion for Wade. Tyrus is the only one who is in question as far as team needs for the Heat. But im sure a player with his potential and athleticism at still just 21 is valuable.

For it to ever happen, Riley would have a handpicked package from the Bulls, and he would throw us Blount and Davis or whatever they can come up with. Its only worth it if you have enough pieces left around Beasley and Rose, but the Bulls have enough depth to have that. If they get expiring contracts it could really help free cap space for 2010.

None of it will happen, so Derrick Rose No. 1 pick 2008 NBA Draft i cant wait.

I really can't see Riley trading the #2 pick for anything but an All-Star caliber player. Beasley will come in the league and probably be better than most players anyway, and he is too smart to trade quality for quantity.

I agree with you, but its not just quantity, its quality quantity. The Heat would fill major roster needs, and not with garbage players, we are talking about above average ball players, and in the right situation Deng is borderline all-star without actually being an all-star. Hinrich in a change of scenery would probably go back to form, which is a stop 5-10 PG in the league, especially if he has a superstar playing next to him(Wade) cuz he has never had one in his NBA career. And if you get players like Thabo or Tyrus, you don't know what you fully have yet, but its not crazy to believe both will become valuable pieces to a basketball team once they are matured enough.

I don't think I want to give up Deng, Kirk, and Thabo/TT for a guy that hasn't played a minute in the NBA yet. If this were an established veteran that could put up 20/10 and get to the All-Star game every year, then it would be more reasonable, but our players are still growing, and have lots of potential too. You said it, Deng is on the verge of becoming an All-Star, and we have all seen the flashes from TT. Thabo really improved a lot last year, and Kirk should easily be able to revert to his form from 2006. If they all play up to their abilities, trading those 3 for Beasley, and a couple bad contracts (Blount is the only guy under contract for next season that makes more than $4 million that they would want to include), I don't think it would work out best for the Bulls. Blount turns the ball over more than Gordon, and doesn't play good defense. We wouldn't ever play him, because we would have Beasley, Gooden, Noah, and Gray, so his $8 million/year for two more years would be sitting on the bench doing nothing. We might have to take on Marcus Banks, who has 3 years left on his contract, and isn't any good anyway. I just can't see this working out.
