You can forget about the Bulls going after Kevin Garnett – any deal for the Minnesota superstar would have no doubt included Tyson Chandler and the 5-years/$55 M remaining on his contract. Now that the Bulls and Hornets have agreed to swap Chandler for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith, any deal including KG would be difficult to picture, unless the team wants to give up newly-acquired Ben Wallace. Smith is a prospect, but this is basically a salary dump to give the Bulls cap room next summer, when Kirk Hinrich will be a free agent…The Mavericks have agreed to send Marquis Daniels to the Pacers for Austin Croshere. The Pacers are getting the better end of this talent-wise, as the Mavs just wanted to get rid of Daniels’ contract. It’s clear that he wasn’t going to play much for Avery Johnson…The Jazz acquired Derek Fisher from the Warriors for Keith McLeod and Andre Owens. Fisher is a point guard, so it’s not clear how he’s going to fit in with Deron Williams and draft pick Ronnie Brewer…The Sonics’ negotiations with Chris Wilcox have not gone well, and the team is exploring sign-and-trade options. As many as nine teams are interested in the young power forward…Mike James appears to be close to signing with the Houston Rockets. This would be a great move and it’s likely that Houston is getting a hometown discount (as I covered in my offseason blueprint for the Rockets).
