I have 4 tickets next to each other available for tomorrow nights game. My volleyball team made it to the championship so I'm not able to use the tickets. I'm only looking for face value back and live close to the UC so I'd be able to meet up and exchange before the game. Call my cell at 773 988 0175 or email me at mfranc3@uic.edu if you're interested. Tickets are in the 300 level row 12. Face plus fees comes out to $48 each, but that price is negotiable. I'll take less if need be. Thanks and go Bulls!

Outside of James, Bosh and Morrow would be my semi-realistic dream offseason. A low post guy and a sniper would do wonders.

 

With Ellis, Maggette and Curry, I can see why Morrow could become a FA, but I keep seeing people over on Realgm having wetdreams about this kid but I don't have a clue who he is or why should he be targeted?

Because his career 3 point percentage is higher than Steve Kerr's on double the attempts per game.

 

He's an extraordinary shooter...as in there are few players in league history that match him.

Wade has expressed some discontent with his team this series. Maybe that increases his chances of coming to the Bulls. I am looking for some way for the Bulls to get a top line guy like Wade and a second tier free agent. Would a Wade/Boozer pickup be financially possible? If they managed that, they should be considered NBA title contenders.

Not without a sign in trade in which Deng or Hinrich and some combination went out in exchange.

 

I don't want Wade though to be perfectly honest. Him and Rose's skills will not compliment each other at all and each will be less effective. If the Bulls want the best bang for their buck this offseason (outside of Lebron of course) they should target Bosh as their main FA. Him and Ros playing pick and roll would be awesome. Just add some additional shooters and defenders. After signing Wade or Bosh by the way, we'd have roughly $4.3M to spend on another FA piece.

 

Totally agree on hoping they end up with Bosh as opposed to Wade.

 

Is that $4.3 million with the raised cap?

Yes, it is based on a 56.1M cap figure. It also assumes that Chris Richard's salary next year is completely unguranteed, which I assume it is. At worst, you'd have to add an additional cap liability of $380,785, which is the difference of having Richard's salary as a cap hold, and having the minimum salary as a cap hold.

Chris Bosh_________$16,568,908

Luol Deng__________$11,345,000

Kirk Hinrich_________$9,000,000

Derrick Rose________$5,546,160

Free Agent_________$4,483,100

Joakim Noah________$3,128,536

James Johnson______$1,713,600

#17 Pick____________$1,302,600

Taj Gibson__________$1,117,680

Min Cap Hold_________$473,604

Min Cap Hold_________$473,604

Min Cap Hold_________$473,604

Min Cap Hold_________$473,604

Total Salary_______$56,100,000

 

I thought rookie scale salaries don't count towards the cap.

I knew he could shoot, but good lord. Those are some awesome numbers.

First rounders do. Although, they can sign anywhere within I believe +-20% of that cap hold, and almost everyone gets the +20% number, so their actual salary will be larger than the hold.

Barkley's awesome.

 

Before game 2 they asked him what Chicago has to do to beat Cleveland:

 

Kill Lebron James

 

As they head to the game and they show Lebron shooting around:

 

Uh oh, he's still alive, game's over. See you at halftime.

I understand LeBron getting fouls while shooting because he is a star, but he totally nailed Taj with the body

He also hacked him across the body.
