So it appears that the Bulls are going to go the safe route during this trading deadline and agreed to trade John Salmons to the Milwaukee Bucks for either Hakeem Warrick and Joe Alexander or Kurt Thomas and The Immortal Francisco Elson, despite the reports that the Bulls were close to a deal to obtain Tracy McGrady. The move eliminates the possibility of Salmons exercising his $5.8 million player option next season, and puts the Bulls in the best possible position to nab a legit superstar free agent for 2010-2011. The most interesting part of this was Houston's demands in order to trade McGrady to the Bulls. The Rockets supposedly wanted Taj Gibson and multiple first round picks along with Brad Miller and Tyrus Thomas. It's very refreshing to see that GarPax went the "Kiss My Ass" route with Houston and settled for a common sense move like this one.
As Robert Montgomery Knight once said, the Bulls are now in position, to be in position for next season.
