One source said the Bulls players were pulled off the team bus Wednesday afternoon and were told they had been traded.
The Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings have reached [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)][a][/color] tentative agreement on a trade sending Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons to the Kings for Brad Miller and John Salmons, ESPN.com.
Michael Ruffin of the Bulls also was told [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]be[/color] [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]he[/color] was being traded to Portland in a separate deal, the source added.
Come on, Chris, proofread.

Im pleased with the deal, Salmons will help a lot as he gives us some more size in the backcourt also gets us ready for losing BG this offseason. Nice to have Brad Miller back thoughOriginally Posted by BangDak
NOOOO. we wanted brad miller
good deal for chicago if you ask me.
walsh should have moved lee with curry's bum %*@ contract for contracts that expire before 2010.
You make it sound so simple.
After receiving Michael Ruffin in the John Salmons, Brad Miller trade with Chicago, the Kings will flip him to Portland in exchange for Ike Diogu and approximately $1 million in cash.
NOOOO. we wanted brad miller
speak for yourself. Especially if those *#**%*! bums wanted us to give up my dude Nasty for a scrub like Miller
Good deal for chicago, they can use some inside scoring and Salmons will def help them out as well. I think this makes them a playoff team... which isnt goodfor us
Trade talk: Rockets interested in dealing McGrady for Baron Davis
Posted: February 18, 2009
With Thursday's 3 p.m. trading deadline rapidly approaching, a look at some of the latest deals on the rumor mill ...
[table][tr][td]
[/td] [/tr][/table]There could be a new guard in town for the Rockets -- and it's not Vince Carter. Houston has moved into negotiations with the Clippers for point guard Baron Davis, a source close to Davis told SportingNews.com on Wednesday. "It would be best for everyone if Baron moved on," the source said.
The Rockets, still smarting from the loss of shooting guard Tracy McGrady, who will miss the rest of the season with knee surgery, apparently have not given up on the 2008-09 season. The team has played well without McGrady, going 13-6 (they were 20-15 with him), but needs another scoring presence if it is to rescue this season.
Bringing on Davis would have some risk. He is in the first year of a five-year contract that will pay him $65 million, and he was supposed to be a building block for the Clippers. But Davis and Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy have not meshed well, and Davis is averaging 15.5 points, his lowest total in nine years. The team is just 13-41, coming off a humbling 140-100 loss to the Suns.
If the Clippers can get out of Davis' contract now, they will seize the opportunity, even if it means taking back the oft-injured McGrady in return.
Kings, Bulls swing a deal
Kings small forward John Salmons, a hot topic of trade conversation, finally was dealt--he'll head to Chicago with Brad Miller for Drew Gooden and Andres Nocioni, according to NBA.com
The trade signals that Chicago is done trying to shake Stoudemire loose and that Phoenix likely will keep their big guy, hope to get their chemistry back under new coach Alvin Gentry (again, 140-100 is a good start) and address their tax problem before the draft.
Pistons aren't desperate ...
One team that figures to remain quiet on Thursday is the Pistons, who have done a lot of shopping of forward Rasheed Wallace's expiring contract, but to no avail. Detroit fell to 27-25 with a loss on Tuesday, but is not desperate to make a move. With Wallace and Allen Iverson sitting on expiring deals, the Pistons shouldn't be. "They understood from the beginning that trading for Iverson was as much a long-term thing as a short term thing," one East general manager said.
... neither are the Nets
Have talks for shooting guard Vince Carter cooled altogether? It seems that way. The Nets, remember, are looking to trade Carter in order to get far under the 2010 salary cap, so that they can make a move for a major free agent. Thus, they are not under the kind of luxury-tax pressure that prompted the Hornets to deal center Tyson Chandler for expiring contracts this week. The Nets can wait until the offseason to make a move for Carter.
