All right, I'm bored. Therefore, out comes trade speculation...
Let's try this
SAS out - Bonner, Horry (resigned to a partially guaranteed 1 year contract worth 3.5 Million $ total, Vet Min (1, 262 275) guaranteed), Cash - $1,262, 275
Chi out - Nocioni
Why for SA - Get Nocioni, loose Bonner
Why for Chi - Move Nocioni's contract and make floor time for Deng and the kids (Thomas, Noah at the 4)
Is this worth it? Nocioni's contract last to 12/13, with the final year being a team option... Its presence would have a significant impact on our apparent planned FA spree in the summer of 2010. He's also been overpaid for his production. In particular, last season, he sucked (WS/48 = -0.027, WS/48 = 0.1 is an average player, also PER = 13.6, PER = 15 is an average player) and is sucking so far this pre-season. However, Bonner also sucks (WS/48 = .022, PER = 12.3), and Nocioni might regain his form of 05/06 and 06/07 in a fresh environment. I can easily see Nocioni as a starter in our system and a major upgrade over Finley.
C - Oberto, PF - Duncan, SF - Nocioni, SG - Bowen, PG - Parker.
Is the trade off (future capspace for current production) worth it? Do you think Chicago does it ?
PS - A bonus trade question - Would you be interested in trading for Aaron Gray from the Bulls. Say
SAS out - Watkins (Vet min, Unguaranteed), 2009 2nd round pick (ours), 2009 2nd round pick (Pheonix)
CHI out - Gray (Vet min, Guaranteed)
Why for SA - Get a Big 3ed C for those nights when we have to bang with the really big boys (Shaq, Yao) (Gray is 7'0 265), he might just be a diamond in the rough (he's got skills but is slow a la Rasho, which IMO is fine for the vet min). Also, he's demonstrated enough to be a decent 5th/6th big in the NBA
Why for CHI - Move a guy who doesn't fit with team plan/structure, get 2 2nd s back (he was originally pick #49).
