If Battier does sign with Miami pencil him in as the most important acquisition of the FA signing period.

After meeting with Caron Butler on Monday and coach Tom Thibodeau personally calling Jason Richardson, Jamal Crawford and others, the Bulls currently have no more free-agent visits scheduled. The strategy appears to be to let the market come to them as they try to upgrade at shooting guard, armed only with salary cap exceptions. With other candidates like the Suns' Vince Carter not officially waived yet, management sounds confident one player will sign for the right price for the chance to play for a title contender alongside Derrick Rose. According to league sources, the Bulls have not yet offered the $5 million mid-level exception to any player, including Butler, who is meeting with the Nets on Wednesday and Thursday. Meanwhile, last season's starter, Keith Bogans, continues to work out at Berto Center and looks to be in great shape

They really need to put some news out there to get their name seen and heard.

The more they let other teams sign players, the more we'll have to settle for washed up has beens.

These players, outside of Battier, are chasing the money. That's not the FO's fault. I am glad that they are waiting for the players to come back. They already reached out to them once. I don't see the point in begging players to come when the play of your team speaks enough. The FO doesn't need to go around begging. If the players want to chase money like Chandler and Caron did, then let them.

The Wizards have me confused as all hell.

Try to follow me for a second.

They are keeping Lewis.
Adding Roger Mason.
Ready to keep AND pay Josh Howard.
Drafted a bunch of guys they want to keep.
They are happy with Jordan Crawford.

They're basically going to have 4-5 SG's on their roster.
After everything, and rookie contracts are signed, they will be about 4 million under the cap.

All of this before Nick Young is resigned/matched.

4 shooting guards, a lot of love for Jordan Crawford, keeping Lewis and a deep interest in keeping Josh Howard............. and then they have Nick young left to sign.

Yeah, they're not planning on keeping all of those guys. Something has to give.

Well, me hopes the Bulls can structure an offer to Nick Young. That, or Washington knows something we don't about his recovery and health after missing the end of last season.

The Nuggets are looking at Nick Young too. It's possible that they think he would be an upgrade over Afflalo.

We actually could pull off a RFA signing?!?!?!
