Seriously, think about this

Kirk hinrich/teaugue
Rip/Hinrich/butler
Butler/Rip/Hinrich
Boozer/taj/
Noah/taj/ hinrich

Given our current lineup, until deng comes back in January, Butler and teague are going to see 20+ minutes a night.

In fact, Given thibs doesn't like playing RIP, Butler might see 30+ minutes.

latest on Rush:

» Tuesday, July 17 2012

As @AlexKennedyNBA, Rush worked out today as the Lakers looked on. Los Angeles GM Mitch Kupchak, looking to overhaul his anemic bench, would love to add Rush to the fold. The Warriors need someone who can come in and get buckets, as well as play some defense. But the Lakers only have the mini-midlevel to offer, meaning any offer sheet Rush would sign the Lakers would have to start at $3 million. Fair to say the Warriors would love for Rush to sign an offer sheet with the Lakers. No doubt, if Rush came to the Warriors right now looking for a deal starting at $3 million, Warriors GM Bob Myers would jump at it. Contra Costa Times

Latest on Lee

With Dallas coming to terms with O.J. Mayo, Courtney Lee sits atop the C's wish list among unrestricted free agents. CSNNE.com

Marc Stein: Suns linked w/Mayo & Courntey Lee after Gordon offer sheet matched but I'm told they're also still pursuing Shannon Brown to stay in PHX Twitter

I don't believe we are getting Lee. The reason I was so upset 2 weeks ago when I found out Kirk would be coming back is I realized THAT'S THE ONLY MOVE THE FO IS GOING TO MAKE! This offseason is about shedding payroll, not adding any. I'm preparing for a Michael Redd or Jannero Pargo to be backing up Rip. :puke:

Either Rush or Lee would be good fits this year behind Rip and if they showed what the Bulls want could start next year and they could let Rip go. But like any player they're looking for the most money. But people need to understand what the Bulls know, neither of them is good enough or going to make enough of a difference to be worth going into the luxury tax for. The was a line, no doubt created by his agent, that Lee really wanted to play for Doc Rivers but money would be the determining factor. Well no kidding Doc is a great guy but at the end of the day they all use the same ball, play on the same 94 foot court with ten foot baskets and all that matters is the check.

So the Bulls are playing the waiting game and they know full well what other teams have to spend. Teams under the cap or tax level will sign the players they want and can afford. When that's over the Bulls will be looking for players who are willing to sign for a year for the minimum because they need to be able to show that they can contribute so they can get a better contract next year. The Bulls are a good place to sign to show that because players can see where they are in the line up, they don't need to come in and show off, just play defense, play hard in a limited role on a quality team and show the Bulls and other teams that they know how to adjust to a system where they aren't the star.

I'm irked about the courtney lee for nothing signing. Really, we didn't have any "nothing" that we could have traded for courtney lee? Were we all out of shitty draft picks? Seriously, what the ****? Why isn't anyone pissed that our owner is terribly cheap? This fact is completely okay with everyone else? Why isn't anyone else complaining/mad? Do they hold to the mantra, "We have shitty owner, just expect it." **** THAT SHIT! Also, **** Scrooge up his giant, fat ass.
