Trade Rumor: Kirk Hinrich and Andres Nocioni for Elton Brand
—
A very interesting trade the Chicago Bulls may make to open up a spot on the roster for Derrick Rose, as well as brining back former Bulls Elton Brand to add some veteran help in the post.

    next summer elton brand becomes a free agent and it is questionable wether or not they will be able to resign him, so he could be traded this summer or by the dead line next season so they can get something in return.

    that I know. But why would they trade a dominant power forward for 2 average players? They can find many better offers.

      Maybe they're concerned about Elton's post-injury performance moving forward?

        Ya that is definitely a part of it Im sure.  They arent going to be able to get Brand's equivalance in return do to his injury problems last year.  And as a Bulls fan, I would be a little scared of that.
