Lets spend more time of prospects we actually have a shot at getting.

Ok, makes sense, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call Gordon or especially Hinrich a “star” unless you were joking. Anyway, if that is the case, what about getting Beasley from Miami should Baron want to go “south”? However, as someone pointed out in something I was reading, would Nellie have really said he was so happily coming back with no high drama if Baron wasn’t going to be around. I kinda agree with that reasoning and think Baron will be back for at least one year.

Commish,

Because Rose is the perfect fit. They need to move one of their backcourt stars (Gordon or Hinrich) because together they will be to expensive. Making room for Beasley would require moving Noah or Thomas (if Beasley plays PF), or Deng (if Beasley plays SF). None of which are the best moves as the two big men are cheap and they really like Deng. It just makes more sense to move Hinrich or Gordon. Plus, Beasely is a Chicago native, he fits the style of play they want to achieve and he’s ready to be a factor right away.
Of course, Chicago could take Beasley, but I think that would be a bad move.

Wait, why do you assume Chicago isn’t taking Beastly (pun intended)? If they do, then don’t we have a shot with Miami if for whatever reason(s) we decide to trade Baron. I can think of all kinds of trade scenarios with Miami that could land us Rose.

I am surprised that YouTube clip could find any highlights of Rose against Southern Cal. The Trojans, and notably OJ Mayo who was covering Rose, totally shut him down.
