Michael Ruffin for Ike Diogu

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

According to numerous league sources, a trade sending Kings players Brad Miller and John Salmons to Chicago in exchange for Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden, Michael Ruffin and Cedric Simmons has been agreed upon and is pending league approval.

In a separate deal with Portland, fourth-year forward Ike Diogu comes to the Kings for Ruffin. The Kings are also expected to receive approximately $1 million in the trade with Portland.

It's funny how people can't see the real deal here. Portland gets a 3-mil TE and that's on top of 12.7-mil RLEC (LaFrentz). Expect a big trade tomorrow...

Only obvious.... still fun to talk about ruffin though lol

I liked Diogu's game, I don't know why it never worked for him. With Miller gone in Sacramento, maybe he can get a chance to prove what he can do there.

Actually the league rules prevent us from packaging the TE with Raef's expiring contract in a deal. It's still a nice chip though.
