already explained in detail why in another thread.
basically they need SGs, and they need to get rid of Hinrich 10M starting PG contract. we need to get rid of Craw and need a PG that can help Monta play D and distribute.
this would be assuming crawford doesnt opt out, yeah? cuz if crawford takes the option then it might actually be a decent trade for chicago considering crawford's contract is shorter than maggs' and a year shorter than hinrich's. it would expire just in time to extend tyrus thomas and (if they wanted to) john salmons.
but again, that's IF crawford doesnt opt out.
actually it works either way IMO.
supposing he DOES opt out then the bulls have just effectively cut Hinrich's 3 year 26 million dollar contract (given to him back when they thought he was going to be the starting PG for years to come) out.
this gives them money to resign Ben Gordon if they so please.
So it's great for the bulls because:
-If Craw doesn't opt out, he gets to be on a playoff caliber team, with a future all star PG. Chicago doesn't have to resign Ben Gordon to a huge deal, and they just got rid of a starting PG they can't use.
-If he DOES opt out they still get rid of hinrich, and have money to burn on a decent SG.
OK somebody make it happen.
