[h1]Sources: Bulls to free up cap space[/h1]
By Ric Bucher

The Chicago Bulls have a deal in place that would move Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards, freeing up enough cap space to pursue two maximum-salary players in this summer's free-agent market, sources with knowledge of the Bulls' plans said Thursday.
It wasn't immediately clear what Washington would send to Chicago in the trade.
The deal can't be officially consummated until July 8, when the Wizards will have room under the salary cap to absorb Hinrich's $9 million contract without having to send back anything of similar value.
Since it's a good-faith deal for the time being, there remains a chance it could fall apart. But according to one source, the Sacramento Kings are prepared to make a similar deal with the Bulls in the Wizards' stead if that were to happen.
Either way, moving Hinrich and the pick would push Chicago's space under the cap from $20 million to more than $30 million. That puts the Bulls on equal footing with the Miami Heat in pursuing not just one but two members of a free-agent class that is expected to include LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson.

Laker fans are annoying as @*#$. Not everybody is the damn Grizzlies. My friends dad that's a Laker fan was like "WATCH THE LAKERS ARE GONNA TRADE UP AND GET COUSINS."

At that point, chemistry wouldn't be much of an issue. I think he'd fit in fine. They need to be prepared for Jackson not returning being a strong possibility. I think this move would be a good answer to that.

Buzz: Pacers offer Granger for No. 3
By Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears, Yahoo! Sports
41 minutes ago
NEW YORK – The New Jersey Nets and Indiana Pacers are discussing a blockbuster draft trade that would send All-Star forward Danny Granger and the 10th pick to the Nets for Devin Harris, Yi Jianlian and the third overall pick, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Pacers plan would be to move up and take Georgia Tech forward Derrick Favors with the third overall pick and plug their need for a young point guard with Harris.
No deal was imminent, and one source said the Nets’ interest in the Pacers’ offer was “lukewarm.

I'm starting to think New Jersey is desperate to make a move.
They've been tossing that Harris and #3 pick around like a prositute. I hope they won't make that move because their PG situation will be very ugly. Granger and Lopez won't do you any good with no PG. I think they should look more towards getting CP3, if they can't get him just draft Favors and move on.

The hole in the PG rotation makes me say no to that trade...
That is, If it was happening.

They shouldn't have to. Hayward isn't going above 10.

Bird is going to take Luke Babbitt for profiling purposes. He's kind of black.
