    There was a post with a link in another thread about how Chicago was going to offer #3 pick & Antonio Davis for Francis. What if we were to make a 3 team trade to make everyone happy.

    Hou trade:
    Steve
    Cat
    Cato

    Hou gets:
    TMac
    Reece Gaines
    A. Davis

    Get TMac & fillers just like any other rumor involving TMac coming to Hou.

    ORL trades:
    TMac
    Reeece Gaines
    filler

    ORL gets:
    #3 pick
    Cato
    Mobley

    Get another very high pick to rebuild along with a good center and 2-guard

    CHI trades:
    #3 pick
    A Davis

    CHI gets
    Francis
    filler from ORL

    Get Francis for what they offer just like before.

    Francis plays in CHI like always wanted, ORL gets to really rebuild with good young talent (maybe they trade the #3 for someone else), Hou get TMAc. Everyone wins.

    What you guys think?

    Chicago already has Hinrich at PG and may keep Crawford as their SG, so why do they want Francis?

    mogrod,

    I like that proposal, but it can't be done until Francis's BYC status drops off.

    I'm starting to have my doubts that we'll get McGrady, so here's another variation of a trade with Chicago only.

    Houston sends Francis/Cato/Nachbar to Chicago.

    Chicago sends Hinrich/Davis/Pippen/#3 pick to Houston.


    We'd release Pippen right away & have his salary come off the books next year. While Davis is old as dirt, he's still very productive & would give us the enforcer, we thought we were getting with Oakley, to protect Yao's back. Davis didn't average a double-double last year, but he was over, at, or near one almost every game & he averaged 32.1 mpg, while starting 79 games. His contract expires in 2 years & will provide us with $13 million in cap relief.

    Hinrich would give us a legitimate PG to replace Francis, & with the #3 pick, we could select Deng, or possibly Howard (to be groomed by Davis). Our new lineup would be:

    C: Yao/FA
    PF: Davis/Taylor/Spoon/Howard? or Badiane
    SF: Deng?/JJ/FA
    SG: JJ/Mobley/Piatkowski
    PG: Hinrich/FA/Wilks

    yeah Davis is too expensive and is pretty much washed up now...

    Bulls have Hinrich as their PG of the future...

    just a lotta stuff doesnt make sense...

    Hinrich won't be traded from the Bulls, not even for Francis, and you expect the #3 pick to come with him? We're not even giving up Cat.

    Houston sends Francis/Mobley/Cato to Chicago.

    Chicago sends Hinrich/Davis/Curry/Pippen/#3 pick to Houston.
