Everyone gets what they want

Here's a scenario that may make a lot of sense. Ready?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/featur...21~29~21~29~29~4~29~29~4~21~4~21~21&te=&cash=

Suns Trade:
Barbosa
Marion
Banks

Suns Receive:
Joakim Noah
Mike Miller
Chris Duhon
Stromile Swift
Damon Stoudamire

Bulls Trade:
Noah
Kryapa
Duhon
Joe Smith
Nocioni

Bulls Receive:
Pau Gasol
Marcus Banks
Navarro

Grizzlies Trade:
Navarro
Gasol
Miller
Stoudamire
Swift

Grizzlies Receive:
Marion
Kryapa
Smith
Barbosa
Nocioni

So the Bulls get Gasol and still keep Hinrich, Gordon, Wallace and Deng. The Grizzlies move Gasol, get faster with Marion and younger with Barbosa. Those are both great Iavaroni guys, plus they replace Miller with Nocioni, which is pretty close.

Meanwhile, the Suns get a good young player who can play the front line with Amare and guard the opposing player's best big man. They also get their choice of back up point guard, some salary relief and a guy who will shoot the lights out.

Their rotation will be Nash/Bell/Hill/Stoudemire/Noah/Skinner/Miller/Stoudamire(most likely)

Plus they still have Swift off the bench if they need him as well as Duhon.

Thats not too shabby. Im not wild about swift but all the players we receive would do well in our system imo.
4/5

Bulls come out like bandits. Basicly, they get Gasol/Navarro for Noah/Noccioni. Not gonna happen.

We do get the short end of the stick and sacrifice two stars for depth and role players.

Oh right, I haven't bothered to look at that end yet. But Marion/LB for Noah/Miller? Why? Are we giving up on the season or what? Miller is not bad but Noah is just a rookie and needs at least 2-3 years to develop!

I didnt really check it out either prior to my first post

J.Noah needs to learn & earn some respect for his elders.
IMO if he can grow the F up & get a little stronger he'll be a good NBA player.

I'm beginning to see why some of you pointed out to me why Marion isn't as easy to trade as i'd first thought.
