    If was i trading Steve to Chicago, Hinrich and Tyson Chandler would have to be included along with the Bulls choice of either Fizer or Curry. That's three for one or no deal, with cap fillers added as needed. Around the league steve is considered a superstar although I know he is not here, I would trade Steve but it would cost whoever gets him.

    jvg's comments on heinrich was just a smokescreen to lessen the interest the media have in his dispute with steve.

    Though I doubt the Bulls would do it simply because Paxson loves Hinrich's play(for good reason), I honestly think this deal makes the most sense for Chicago out of all the one's I've seen posted.

    Getting Mobley would allow the Bulls to move Crawford back to starting PG, and a Jamal/Cuttino backcourt would be exciting if not effective. They could work out well together, they could crash and burn. But it'd be interesting.

    Also, getting Cato would be very important, as now Curry/Chandler would have a legitimate, long-term backup for both of them. Those three players could eat up all the minutes at C/PF every game.

    Again, I don't think Chicago would do it, but I think it's certainly a very reasonable trade. Nice one!

    Did anyone here Jim Rome today.

    He was talking about Bulls management getting on Curry and Chandler for things such as not bringing proper attire to practice and parking in the disabled person's spot at the arena. And this is the guy you want to get rid of Steve for because of Steve's lack of leadership?

    I assume Rome was referring to these two things:

    Early in the season, Curry didn't have his ankles taped in time for practice, and the team had to run laps while Curry got taped up.

    The 'handicapped parking space' wasn't an actual event, but an analogy coach Scott Skiles used in describing their play.

    Sorry, I didn't hear the whole thing. Rome's an idiot, Curry should sue. He actually made it sound like they parked in those spaces and didn't have their proper equipment.

    Sorry guys.
