I think the Bears are a little more confident because Tice isn't going to go with 5 to 7 step drops on every passing play like Martz. LT is a glaring need though.....
Brooke Lopez/Deron Williams/Anthony Morrow for Rajon Rondo/Ray Allen.
Nets get a All-Star point under a reasonable contract and rid of Morrow's contract to pursue free agents next year. Also Brooks could get a few months to apprentice under Allen.
Celtics get more in return and maybe a good enough team to contend for the title this year but the downside is Lopez/Williams could walk away next season and they would be only left with Morrow to show for Rondo.
Lakers - Mo Williams and Michael Beasley Lakers get a legit starting PG and Beasley to refill Odom's old role but also to players that are up and down performers with some maturity issues.
Clippers - Darko Milicic and Luke Ridnour Clippers gain some front line depth with Darko and get rid Williams' attitude while getting a capable replacement in Ridnour.
T-Wolves - Pau Gasol Minnesota gets a center to pair with Love up front and the best player in the deal.

83 catches for 1,264 yds and 13 tds in 2009 but one bad season after 3 amazing years and he is washed-up.
Is he a headache? Yes...but he can still play and could help the right team.
