I almost agree with you. Take the following into consideration, though:
Armstrong and Pippen are two of the most durable players in the NBA, in
that neither misses a lot of games due to injury (I think that Armstrong
might even have the longest active such streak -anyone know for sure?).
Unfortunately, Mullin and Hardaway are almost the exact opposite. Over the
last several years, they have shown that they both have a real tendency to
sustain injuries. In a world without injuries, you'd be right. The reality
of the situation, however, indicates that this trade would doubtlessly
favor the Warriors. In fact, they'd be a really tough team to beat, IMHO.

When was the last time either Tim Hardaway or Chris Mullin made it through
an entire season without tearing up a knee, or a wrist, or another knee,
or
fainting. Sorry both are good players, but Pippen for his occasional
nagging
injuries shows up 70+ nights a year, you can't say the same for Mullin and
Hardaway.

Not to mention neither has a clue on defense.

Armstrong's streak is third among active players I think. He is the only
player never to have missed a game due to injury in his entire career. The
one game
he missed was a DNP CD, and he was waiting at the scorer's table when that
one ended.

Mullin and Hardaway combined won't play as many games as Pippen this season.

Pippen should stay put. With Pippen, Jordan, Kukoc,Kerr and Rodman, the
Bulls have one of the best teams in the league. They are now serious
contenders. I don't know if Hardaway can run an Eastern style of offense
and Mullin is getting quite old. But, You never know! Tim is a great
player. I'd just rather keep the Bulls the way they are.
