Bulls should never trade for any players on this list
By Mike McGraw
Chicago Bulls
Posted Monday, October 23, 2006
There is nothing wrong with suggesting a fictitious trade now and then that
might theoretically help two teams reach their respective goals. It's an
American sports tradition.
But perhaps it would be easier to start the season by listing the trades that
should not be made.
With that in mind, here are the players the Bulls should not trade for this
season, roughly in order of egregiousness. Feel free to clip this column and
save it until the February trade deadline.
1. Zach Randolph, Trail Blazers. His averages of 19.1 points and 9.4 rebounds
over the past three years seem tempting. But Randolph is a burly power forward
who has just about given up playing in the post and scores most of his points
on outside jumpers. He also has a whopping $73 million left on his contract
over the next five seasons.
Then there's how Randolph often seems to find trouble off the court. As one
league official put it, 「Can you imagine if he was in driving range of his
hometown (Marion, Ind.)?」
2. New York Knicks. A blanket refusal seems appropriate here. Second-year
forward
Channing Frye is the only exception. The Knicks' three highly paid
guards tell the story: Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and Jamal Crawford have
a combined 23 years in the league and zero playoff series victories.
3. Chris Webber, Sixers, and
Grant Hill, Magic. These guys are in the same
boat ─ skilled enough to post decent stats, but so slow due to past injuries.
Both are defensive liabilities.
4. Danny Fortson, Sonics. There's only one year left on his contract, but
all he's done in recent years is argue with coaches and referees while
committing fouls at a rapid pace. Even during his best years, Fortson did
little else besides grab rebounds.
5. Kenyon Martin, Nuggets. He was slow to recover from a knee injury and is
owed $71 million over the next five years. Every team in the league probably
turned down a chance to trade for Martin last year, so he's likely to stay put.
6. Stephen Jackson and Jamaal Tinsley, Pacers. It's unlikely Larry Bird even
bothers to shop these two anymore, knowing there will be no takers.
7. Larry Hughes, Cavaliers. According to league sources, the Cavs were
already shopping Hughes just a few months after signing him to a five-year,
$70 million free-agent deal.
8. Troy Murphy, Warriors. He has some fans around the league because of his
rebounding numbers. But do you really want a power forward whose favorite
shot is from 3-point range? Plus, he's owed more than $50 million over the
next five years.
9. Raef LaFrentz, Blazers. Might have the league's worst contract ─ from a
management perspective, at least ─ with $35.4 million over the next three
years. He's strictly a 3-point shooter these days.
10. Darius Miles, Blazers. Remember when the Bulls were heartbroken over
missing out on Miles in the 2000 draft? Now it's better to have cut ties with
Marcus Fizer than be stuck paying Miles $34 million for the next four years.
11. Dan Gadzuric, Bucks. He's owed $31 million over the next five years, a
bit much for 5.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.
12. Corey Maggette, Clippers. This Chicago-area native could be available
since the Clippers are getting close to the luxury-tax threshold. He's a
good athlete and proven scorer, but is he a winner? When the Clippers finally
made the playoffs last season, Maggette played in only 32 games.
13. Jermaine O'Neal, Pacers. A 20-10 guy is always nice, but O'Neal needs
to show he can be a leader before any team can justify taking on the $82
million left on his contract over the next four years.
14. Kenny Thomas, Kings. Undersized power forward is a decent player, but his
contract (five years, $39 million) is a stumper.
15. Derek Fisher, Jazz. One of those guys everyone thinks is a point guard,
but he's really a spot-up shooter. Golden State gave him an outlandish
contract a year ago.
16. Primoz Brezec, Bobcats. If this Slovenian big man isn't the worst
defensive player in the league, he’s surely in the top three.
17. Etan Thomas, Wizards. Used to be a nice role-playing power forward. But
his production dropped after signing a big offer sheet from the Bucks in 2004,
which Washington matched.
18. Paul Pierce, Celtics. Wouldn't have been a bad acquisition until the
Celtics tacked on a $60 million extension to the $31.4 million he already
had left on his contract.
