QUOTE (Daily Herald) If the Bulls are thinking blockbuster, a good place to start would be Denver's Carmelo Anthony, the league's fourth-leading scorer at 25.7 points. Anthony's agent, Calvin Andrews, told both Denver papers Wednesday that his client is not being shopped. But the Nuggets need some sort of makeover. Despite the league's third-highest payroll, Denver barely made the postseason and is 4-20 in playoff games since Anthony arrived in 2003. Maybe acquiring Hinrich and Luol Deng in a sign-and-trade would help the Nuggets establish some semblance of a defensive identity. Another player such as center Stephen Hunter would have to go to the Bulls to make the salaries add up. Anthony would be an interesting addition for the Bulls because he's a top-notch scorer who gets to the foul line and can play inside. If that doesn't work, what about Hinrich and Drew Gooden to the Clippers for Elton Brand? The Clippers could lose Brand next year in free agency, so they might want something now in return. The bad news is the former Bulls' No. 1 pick played just eight games last season because of a torn Achilles. Another power forward who may be available is Charlotte's Emeka Okafor, a restricted free agent. The Bobcats don't have a great need for more guards, however. Hinrich could conceivably go to Seattle for his college roommate, Nick Collison, plus project center Johan Petro. Hopefully Kirk Hinrich has better trade value than we all assume. |

Now that Isaiah isn't running the Knicks... I have a feeling they are going to have the pick of the litter in 2010.

Stay with the team that drafted you, get a little more money from them in the process, or take a slightly shorter deal in exchange for a fresh start...except Lebron will have the whole "New York media market money" to factor in to the equation. Something tells me Nike would be willing to chip in a few more bucks to make that happen. He could well wind up being the first NBA star who decides what city to play in based on what Nike wants. |
