Okay, let's just be honest here. Nate Robinson may not have fully deserved the 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Title, but he sure earned it this year. Nate battled the defending champion, Dwight Howard, in the Finals and one-upped the ultimate gamesman in the end.

Any package of Ben Wallace for Pau Gasol would do wonders. That, is of course, if the Memphis Grizzlies are interested. The Bulls have lacked a low post scorer for years and has been the main reason for their downfall. You can only live by the jump-shot for so long. A package of Wallace, Thomas, and Duhon may be able to get the deal done. The Bulls will never be a contender without a low post scoring threat.

Otherwise, Detroit and Boston will pick them off very easily.
