I was just messing around with Real GM and this trade worked in the trade checker.

Cezary Trybanski, Othella Harrington, Dikembe Mutombo, Tim Thomas for Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz.....

Stop messing around with Real GM.

P.S: I would not complain if that happens and will never tell you to stop messing around.

The Bulls and the Boston Celtics have discussed a trade that would send three-time all-star Paul Pierce to the Bulls for Tyson Chandler, the No. 3 pick in Thursday's NBA draft and another player to even out salaries, according to a source close to the Bulls.

If such a trade occurs, Scottie Pippen, Eddie Robinson and Jerome Williams would all work as the additional player. One theory has Boston eyeing Connecticut guard Ben Gordon with the third pick.

Neither Bulls general manager John Paxson nor Boston GM Danny Ainge returned calls requesting comment.

Late last season, Paxson suggested he needed to do something major this summer to jump-start the Bulls' rebuilding project.

Already a proven star, the 6-foot-6 Pierce should be heading into his prime as a player. He turns 27 on Oct. 13.

In six NBA seasons, Pierce has averaged 23.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists, while shooting 43.2 percent. The Celtics have made the playoffs three years running with Pierce as their leading scorer.

Without Antoine Walker as a teammate last year, however, Pierce shot a career low from the field (40.2 percent) and from 3-point range (29.9 percent).

A story in Tuesday's Boston Globe suggested that Pierce might be on the trading block. Ainge already has made unpopular trades that sent three starters - Walker, Tony Battie and Eric Williams - out of town.

"Paul is huge. He's our best player. He's the greatest asset our franchise has," Ainge said in the Globe. "He's not untradable. There's no such thing. I would be asking about Paul Pierce. He's worth the money. He fits the criteria everyone is looking for."
