I proposed the same thing just a few days ago and few people noticed ...
If we really deal with the Bulls, I want Noah instead of Thomas. And it's deal breaker, no Noah, no deal.
And, give it a second thought, there is a serious problem in this deal. I like Hinrich, he is a capable PG, defending very well, come with a reasonable contract. But there will be serious playing time issue in backcourt, Nash, Hinrich, Barbosa, J.Rich. Impossible for them to co-exist happily.
We have to trade Barbosa, probably for inside depth. There is no way for the Bulls to take him. There has to be a seperated deal, or a multi-team one. Furthermore, I don't think we should/could trade both Amare and Barbosa. Can Nash stay focus and play his best basketball if all his buddies left?
This season, Barbosa has been extremely positive, do whatever asked to do, obey coach, get well with new teammates, improve his game, never complain, talk all positive and help team chemistry. In contrast, what Amare is doing?
I want the team hold on to Barbosa for any cost now.
