Bulls receive: C Jerome James, PF Tim Thomas, SG Anthony Robertson
Analysis: The Knicks received the best player in this deal, but Hughes wasn’t getting minutes ahead of Ben Gordon anytime soon. With as many shooting guards as the Bulls had, it was pointless to keep two that jack up shots whenever they feel like it, especially when you can dump the less talented of the two who makes over twelve million a year. Hughes didn’t want to stay in Chicago and Chicago didn’t want to keep him.
