The Bulls probably aren't going after BOTH Gasol and Melo. Gasol has turned down multiple offers for $10 million/year. He's not coming to Chicago...
Another option....just trade for Mirotic. Use your cap space to sign Mirotic, Llull, Johnson, and Papanikoloau to 4 year deals. Go to war.
I don't know. It seems odd that he hasn't signed with NY yet. Perhaps he's waiting to see what Chicago is able to do.
Yes. We would match Parsons. IMO, unless you can get Melo (unlikely) the other free agents aren't worth using your cap space on. But that...
I doubt he would play a minute for us. We would flip him in two months for Love with our assets and the assets we receive from Chicago in the...
Nah. NYK doesn't have anything we would value, at least not significantly. This would be for Boozer and assets.
Haha. I wonder if it's my Boozer, Mirotic, 1st for cap space trade. Makes a ton of sense for us.
Can't bring him over this year. Just can't. He's not ready. We aren't ready.
Exactly. So you don't go for a free agent. You target a team that needs to shed salary, and gather more assets in the process. Then you go for a...
That's settling IMO, and doesn't get you over the hump. Absorb salary (hopefully Boozer), gather more assets, and make a run at Love and Rondo...
I can almost guarantee we won't sign Ariza or Deng. They do not get you over the hump against OKC, LAC, or SAS. They are the ultimate anti-Morey...
So they are still after Love. That's encouraging.
I'd also add that if we trade for Boozer within the next 2 days, we can trade him again with other players in mid-September.....ie before the...
If Chicago uses cap space to take on Gasol or Melo, they won't have cap space to sign Mirotic (wants $8 million/year). He won't have as much value...
Houston IN: Boozer, Rights to Mirotic, CHA 2015 1st round pick Chicago IN: TPE, Cash, Rights to Marko Todorovic Houston upgrades at PF, and gets...
That's exactly what I'm saying. Use the cap space.....just not on a free agent. Free agency is no longer an option for us, so any 3rd star has...
I think it's pretty obvious what we're going to try to do. 1) Sign Melo - unlikely 2) Trade for Kevin Love 3) Trade for Rondo 4) Rent out our...
Agree. Instead of signing one of the remaining free agents (besides Melo), I'd "lend" our cap out to someone in return for additional assets....
Give your cap space to Chicago in exchange for Boozer, a pick, and the rights to Mirotic. Resign Parsons. Cross your fingers that Kevin Love...
What's your point? We are now 1 for 2 in big time free agency. You've got to take risks to give yourself a chance at a championship.
