Ok so I started up a Bulls dynasty with the idea of getting rid of Noah and Boozer along with a few other guys. So just before the deadline I used the trade finder and found some really nice trades.
The first trade I sent Boozer and Noah to the Clippers for Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman. I like the trade on my part because Gordan is a scorer and Kaman is pretty solid in the post. The only thing I don't like about the trade is I don't think the Clippers would do that in real life.
The second trade was with the Pistons. I traded Luol Deng (and is over priced contract) and C.J. Watson for Tayshaun Prince and Jason Maxiell. I like this trade because of Tayshauns expiring contract and Maxiell will be a suitable backup to Gibson.
My third and final trade involved sending Keith Bogans to the Jazz for Earl Watson. I am not a big fan of Bogans and I needed a backup PG. I could have used Brewer at the point but his ball handling skills aren't good.

My Roster
PG- Rose (91), Watson (64)
SG- Gordon (84), Brewer (72), Korver (65)
SF- Prince (76)
PF- Gibson (75), Maxiell (71), Scalabrine (44)
C- Kaman (79), Thomas (68), Asik (59)
PG- Rose (91), Watson (64)
SG- Gordon (84), Brewer (72), Korver (65)
SF- Prince (76)
PF- Gibson (75), Maxiell (71), Scalabrine (44)
C- Kaman (79), Thomas (68), Asik (59)
Now In case your wondering Brewer and Korver occasionally play at the SF position when Prince needs a breather.
I have played 2 games so far and I will admit this team suits me very well. I know the team isn't perfect and I will need to look for upgrades at the SF position in the offseason.

CHI- 19-24-21-24-88
ORL- 17-22-18-11-68
The Atlanta game was a lot closer than the score looks. They actually took the lead at the beginning of the 2nd quarter before I finally pulled away. They still managed to keep it too close for my taste throughout the entire game. Thankfully I was able to find a way to keep pulling ahead.
The Orlando game was really close until the 4th quarter. I would have been up by 7 at the half but Nelson hit a half court buzzer beater (first that I have seen on this game) to make it only 4 points. I was only up by 7 after the 3rd quarter.
