Another major multi-team trade might be looming in the NBA with the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls having discussed a deal that would be headlined by Carlos Boozer and Kirk Hinrich, according to NBA front-office sources.

Sources stressed to ESPN.com that no deal was imminent Thursday and that both Portland and Utah are still evaluating multiple trade scenarios. But two sources with knowledge of the three-team proposal confirmed that there have been substantive talks regarding a trade that would land Boozer in Chicago, Hinrich in Portland and Tyrus Thomas in Utah.

but they would be pretty good for that one year and with the state of the salary cap he might just resign with the bulls.... boozer and rose is almost as good as boozer and williams... then add salmons, miller, noah and deng... then bam. you have a team that could compete in the east and matches pretty well against teams like orlando, philly, atlanta and toronto....

Jerry Sloan would eat Tyrus Thomas alive.

gotta agree, that line-up is better than utah's current line-up, with the only advantage going to coach sloan over vinny.

Sloan doesn't need Harpring to handle his light work.

Mmmmm, unrealized potential.

UPDATE:

Bulls prefer Bayless in trade

One source close to the process on Friday identified two main obstacles to the aforementioned three-way deal. Concerned about the quality of its backcourt rotation if it has to surrender Hinrich with Thomas after losing Ben Gordon in free agency, Chicago would insist that the Blazers surrender young guard Jerryd Bayless, which Portland is reluctant to do.

If it can't get Bayless, Chicago might still be willing to substitute Tim Thomas for Tyrus Thomas in the deal, but sources say Utah would likely balk if Tyrus Thomas is not included.
