But can chicago match salaries without sending back more players than minnesota has roster spots for? Im not sure they can...

meh. KG is not a dominant player in the post on offense and he's slowing down ever so slightly on defense, as is Big Ben. Chicago would still live and die on the offense with the play of their guards.

It just sounds like you guys want to come up with any excuse possible, because you don't want the Bulls to succeed since Isiah got pwned in trades with them, and you guys know we helped them improve.

That being said... can anyone here honestly deny that the Bulls with KG, Ben Wallace, PJ Brown, Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Andres Noicioni, Mike Sweetney and possibly OUR draft pick (depending on which draft pick they'd have to give in a trade) is one of the top teams in the NBA? If you seriously don't think that team is good, and borderline great, I don't know what to say. That's hating; ironically what some accuse posters here of having.

did Isiah get pwned in the Curry trade? Ty Thomas, the "future franchise stud" that he is hasn't shown much of anything so far... maybe we should wait to see what the Bulls get w/that swapped pick & how Eddy Curry progresses this season before we cast a final judgement on that one?

PJ Brown? Mike Sweetney? Sorry they dont scare anyone. The Bulls have an option to swap draft picks. They cant trade their pick and keep ours. They dont even have ours for sure. If they get ours we get their pick. The Bulls would have to trade 20 mill in salary. Where do you think they get it? Deng and Thomas = 6 mill.
