the bulls could legitimately be scary if they have a competent shooting guard. parker more than fits the role.

Didn't Dan Gilbert say something to the effect that he would make sure the Heat won't win a le before the Cavs did? If he wants to help make that prediction come true, he'd be well served to send Parker to the Celtics. They need a back-up wing player who can hit three pointers, especially depending what's going on with Marquis Daniels. Parker can play both wing spots, defends adequately, and can hit open jumpers. Perfect for the Celtics.

Anthony Parker wouldn't put Chicago over the top, they already have role players at SG, another one doesn't fill a need for them.

Instead of Parker, Boston should consider Posey. Jermaine O'Neal has 2 years and a little under $12,000,000 on his deal. Posey has 2 years $13,400,000 left on his deal. Posey is barely playing on Indiana and when he is playing it's not good. It's a small trade that makes sense....J.O. retires on his old team while they save a little money and Boston gets back a key piece to their '08 team (a piece they really missed off the bench against LA last year).

Rondo - Robinson - Bradley
Allen - West - Wafer
Pierce - Posey - Daniels
Garnett - Davis - Harangody
Perkins - Shaq - Erden

That's a ridiculously deep team.

It wouldn't be Parker's decision. The Celtics still have a better chance of beating the Heat than the Bulls do. And if Gilbert looks at it like that, he's better off sending him to Boston than Chicago.

Of course it is not his unless he gets bought out but if both have interest not uncommon for a team to send him to the team he prefers ...

I wouldn't mind Posey or Parker, and I'm assuming that we'd drop Jermaine. (He's played, what, 10 games?)

Although I think West will be backing up Rondo, and Nate would back up Allen. Nate makes questionable decisions at times. (I know Delonte does too, but you get my point.)

Parker is from Illinois- I would think he would prefer the Bulls.
