Bulls Offseason Thread

[SpongeWorthy]

Wouldn't a Deng trade involve taking back salary? You can't just give him up for a pick can you?

[SpongeWorthy]

Now that I read further I guess that could be done because LAC is far enough under the cap to absorb Deng's contract.

Yup....I just have no idea why the Clippers would want to eat up all their cap space with Luol Deng.

Because otherwise, it will just sit there when nobody willingly signs a contract there.

4 years/ 51.3M for Deng with the max 30% being deferred

 

or

 

5/75 for Rudy Gay

 

They need a SF, and they aren't getting Lebron. Heck they may not even get Gay.

Newest rumor is Deng to Magic for Pietrus and Gortat. Yes please

That's actually a rumor from 2 days ago that is picking up steam again.

Apparently the Bulls and Pacers have talked about a Hinrich and 17 for the 10th and a player.

[SpongeWorthy]

The laws of nature won't allow Kirk Hinrich to be traded from the Bulls.

The rumor I read said TJ Ford would be the guy the Pacers would send in return.

That doesn't free up any money though. Ford is due 8.5 million next year.

Yeah, but he's the kind of player Larry Bird wants....

 

As for the TJ Ford part of the rumor, I suspect he would be flipped to another team.

[RedFlash]

It looks like Kirk Hinrich maybe traded to Washington (By July 8th, of coourse):

Order your Joe Johnson and and Carlos Boozer jerseys now!!

Why are they replacing Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace? :wink:

[Flames24Rulz]

So do we keep Deng or unload him too?

That's the million dollar question. If Orlando deal is still good, I wouldn't be opposed to the Deng for Pietrus/Gortat deal. I don't know if he gets dealt today/tonight, but after seeing the Bulls possibly unload Hinrich, nothing would surprise me.

[Banedon]

So I'm confused. If the trade can't be consumated until the 8th, then who makes the 17th pick tonight?

chicago makes whatever choice they request.

So Chicago has to take the risk that this trade won't fall apart between the time the pick is made and the 8th?
