Burying the Lead

PrintThe top story on the NBA page of ESPN.com features a story about the potential trade of Carlos Boozer to the Chicago Bulls, a fascinating proposition indeed. (The potential trade involves Tyrus Thomas, a freakish athlete that would be perfect for the Mavs, but I digress.)
ESPN buried the lead. If you read the entire story you learn that Bulls were potentially the 4th party in the Shawn Marion trade, before dropping out. If the Bulls had stayed in the trade, the Mavs would have received Tim Thomas from the Bulls in addition to Marion from the Raptors. As I've previously stated, I'm glad to have Marion, but I would have loved to have Tim Thomas as well.
Can you imagine how awkward it would have been for Thomas to be on the same team with Dirk, after the infamous kiss (and Dirk's subsequent 50+ plus performance) in the 2006 playoffs?
Would that be more awkward than John Kitna playing on the same team with Bradie James?
