... sending Malik Rose to OKC in exchange for Chris Wilcox. Hughes has never been a favorite, but the trade would cut some deadweight from the Knick roster- cleaning up roster space without increasing payroll. That deal for Wilcox would be much sweeter. He's a talented and more defensive big man with an expiring deal that could bolster the front line. More on this as it comes.
Thanks to solanumbrella for first posting this in the Fanposts.
UPDATE: The Wilcox deal is sounding official. Very nice.

Even if you haven’t watched him play all that much, thanks ...

As for the “Pu Pu Platter” (credit Bill Simmons) that Chicago got in return…I don’t really have an opinion on them. They’re career reserves. Perhaps they will find new life in Chicago, but it’s more than likely the Bulls just wanted new blood and positive influences around Derrick Rose and their newly-acquired Kings.
