Thunder are targeting Mike Dunleavy

[KG215]

They should bring Troy Murphy too. Firepower in the front court, and the deadly duo Troyleavy would be back

No thanks. Interested only if they bring that hair with them, too.

[juju151111]

They Need a freaking Center. Thabo 3 point shot is slowly coming back. the need porkins out

[sfballa13]

On ESPN trade machine it says that OKC has 3 TPE:
Maynor at 2.3M
Kevin Martin at 6.5M

Couldnt they use the Martin TPE to go after Taj Gibson and Maynor's to go after Dunleavy? Pure salary dump for their cheapskate owner.

Can TPE be combined with other players?

What about this trade:
Collison + PJIII + TPE for Taj Gibson

Bulls get a cheap PF, a young guy in Jones, and dump Gibson's deal.

Meanwhile Thunder solidify their bench

Most people don't believe it, but Collison is untouchable. The OKC Thunder will not trade Nick Collison. Period

We could always go pick up Daequan Cook off the street for a couple hundred bucks. He's a free agent.

I doubt he gets traded because there's probably nobody that values him as much as OKC does but surely they'd trade him if they got a good deal out of it.

[East_Stone_Ya]

why him?

[gasolina]

Guess numbers dont lie but from what I see every time MD takes a critical 3, he bricks it. Badly.

Too bad, had high hopes for him as chicago's secondary playmaker. I think he's more comfortable in that role rather than just standing in corners

Nor should he be traded. I'd trade my left nut for Nick Collison on the Spurs.


Nick is better than Taj anyway..

[Bigsmoke]

smh @ some of these Bulls fans that were trying to convince me that Mike Dunleavy > Marco Belinelli

[tomtucker]

"targeting" ? .............hope they are targeting him for assassination, because that negro can't play ball for shit

[beastee]

Nick is better than Taj anyway..

Taj has been averaging around 20/10 with Boozer out. His defense is top notch...And he can guard Lebron very well. Exactly what Thunder need for the Finals. Serge and Taj would frustrate any team, all game long.

[russwest0]

I know it's a pipe dream, but I hope we trade for Avery Bradley.

Chicago isn't letting Taj go unless he's used to get someone like Melo. Dumping him to shed cap isn't going to happen, plus his deal is pretty good for what he provides. While Boozer is still the starter in Chicago, Taj finishes the games.

Don't see Chicago letting Dunleavy go unless they get a 1st rounder back. He's played pretty well in his first year here, and Chicago is chasing the 3 seed in the East...not tanking for a draft pick.

Also, trade exceptions can't be combined with players to make a trade happen.
