Three-Way Deal Involving Kirk Hinrich and Portland Trail Blazers?

Marc Stein is pumping out more Twitter NBA rumors, this time it involves Utah, Chicago, and Portland.

According to sources, the deal would send Carlos Boozer to Chicago, Kirk Hinrich to Portland, and Tyrus Thomas to Utah.

It's still in the early stages, according to those speaking out.

Now we are back to Hinrich talk again, the guy I've been wanting to replace Steve Blake as our starting point guard. Kirk is an upgrade in many facets, especially on defense.

This would also, of course, put the kabash on the Paul Millsap rumors and possibly open the door for Brandon Bass in Portland.

Update via Twitter from Adrian Wojnarowski:

Bulls haven't had a "single conversation" about a 3-way deal Blazers and "have nothing going" with Utah about Boozer, Bulls source tells Y!.

Also:

Multiple NBA GM's fear Boozer's high-demands for an extension, especially with 2010 cap projections. CHI has never wanted to be a tax team.(Interestingly enough this last tweet from Woj got deleted.)

Here we go again, the sources are spewing malarkey.

I've never had my head hyped so much on so many different things related to the Blazers.

I have a tendency to side with Woj on this one considering his consistency and accuracy of late.

Update 2: Hollinger added this on Twitter, I'm not sure what he's getting at, but this feels like a sources for ESPN versus sources for Yahoo! war:

Trading Hinrich and Thomas for Boozer would put Bulls roughly $20M under the cap next summer with Rose-Deng-Salmons-Noah and the two 1sts.
