They're over the cap, but they seem content on paying the Luxury Tax for years and years and years. Therefore, it doesn't really matter if they're over the cap or not. According to a poster on RealGM, the sports guy on NBC 5 in the afternoon said that the Bulls were prepared to interview Avery Johnson in the coming days. It keeps them from adding free agents seeking more than the MLE, doesn't it? I always thought that as long as they paid the luxury tax, they could still do whatever they wanted. They do most of their acquisitions through trades anyway, so maybe that's where the luxury tax thing comes in.
