Trade Offer of the Week

Ok, time to feed off of another rumor. Apparently the Bulls and Kings are discussing a Tyrus Thomas for Andres Nocioni swap. The Bulls get shooting and the Kings get interior defense. The main holdup is that the Bulls would be adding salary for the upcoming offseason and wouldn't have as much cap space to use on a big-name free agent.

So ... I suggest the Wolves step in and take advantage of the situation. We can offer Ryan Gomes and Ryan Hollins for Thomas and Jannero Pargo. The Bulls get their 3/4 combo player that can shoot, who they can then keep or release to get more cap space (since Gomes is only guaranteed $500,000 next season).

The Wolves get a defensive front court player that would fit well with Love and Jefferson. He's not a perfect fit since he's not a center, but we're not giving up much to get him. The team could actually save $336,000 next season if Thomas plays for the qualifying offer ($6,256,806), they could resign him to a long term contract with a lower starting salary, or just let him walk to save over $6 million in cap room.

It seems like a win/win proposition to me. Any objections?
