For those clamoring for a big time move for the Bulls summer, the following trade winds but just be your winning lottery ticket. ESPN.com is reporting the Bulls are engaged in talks that could bring Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer to the Windy City.
In exchange, the Bulls would send Kirk Hinrich to Portland and Tyrus Thomas would end up in Utah. Other players would reportedly have to be included to make all the salaries match up.
If you're salivating over Boozing creating havoc in the lane at the U.C. you might want to settle down just a bit.
NBA league sources tell NBC 5's Paula Faris that no trade is imminent and that talks aren't even at a substantive level. In fact, league sources tell Faris that there is no truth to this 3-team rumored deal. Boozer may be on the Bulls radar, but not close to being in the fold.
So hang on to your money and don't go ordering Carlos Boozer Bulls jerseys just yet. This is still Captain Kirk's turf until further notice.
