A reported trade conversation, of sorts and thoughts, by a writer who says Team A wants player from Team B. OK. Here are the players who make the deal work. OK. Problem 1 - Team A won't give the package Problem 2 - Team B won't accept the package Result: A typical BBS trade rumor. Just substitute Rox bums for others' studs. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune...sbits,1,7764600.story?coll=cs-bulls-headlines The Bulls have contacted Seattle to gauge its interest in players for a trade for guard Brent Barry, a league source said. Barry, who played 37 games for the Bulls in 1998-99, will be a free agent after this season. He is seeking a four-year, $23 million deal this summer, which the Bulls could meet by offering a multiyear deal starting at the midlevel exception. The usual suspects of Jamal Crawford and Marcus Fizer make the trade work, although Seattle has cooled on Crawford, and the Bulls would want more in return. …
He is saying that the genesis of many a stupid trade proposal in here is to hear of a trade rumour involving other teams, especially if they've hit a snag, and to substitute our scrubs for the players on one or both of the other teams and anticipate reaping the benefits. In this case it would go something like: Wow. We want Barry. How's this? Padgett + Boki for Barry...etc. etc.
