Gooden?

RealGM is now listing 7 available players on the rumored trade market. Among them Drew Gooden and Corey Maggette, I worked up a do-able trade on the ESPN trade machine that looks better every time I think about it. It's a three way with Boston, Chicago and Golden State that helps each team, and satisfies a need with each without disrupting the future core or chemistry of any.

I definitely like the idea. But I don't know if  Chicago will want any part of Maggette's contract. Chicago already has Hughes, Gordan, Deng, Sefolosha, and Nocioni. Maggette would be a little bit redundant for Chicago.

I like Gooden, but this trade will not work because Maggette has no spot on the Bulls.



Celtics do not have the ammo to get him.  He has a short contract so the Bulls do not need to trade him to clean cap space.

My take on the Maggette fit on the Bulls is this:

He is paired as a SG on the wing with Deng. They keep Rose as the PG and either Hinrich or Gordon as the third guard. Sefalofsha is the 4th for depth and Defense. Nocioni and Gordon/Hinrich traded for picks. Hughes traded next year as expiring.
