Official: Bulls Send Hinrich and 17th to Wizards

[Anytime23]

yea i still want something fairly valuable in return though

Youll get cap space and like it!

 

[Dabearfan101]

lol damn some of yall are fast at posting this lol. I would love this trade, gets rid hinrichs nasty contract. Both teams would benefit. DO IT! : )

 

[ChIBears213]

A Deng deal is worthless at this point. Why would you trade him as well?

So that we can sign someone like Ray Allen as well? Or maybe someone that doesn't get a max contract?

Or just sign great role players? Like Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Kyle Korver, Frye?

Those guys combined might not make what Deng makes.

But you'd be taking roughly the same amount of Deng's contract back in the trade....

But what would the Bulls get for Kirk and the 17th pick as thr Wiz have the #1 pick and I know that is not inlcuded.

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah exactly. I'd rather have Kirk too, but obviously he's more attractive to other teams than Deng... so what can you do.

We're just looking to cut salary at this point. I love that Pietrus/Gortat deal from a basketball standpoint though.

Great point.


I say we try to trade him for Pietrus/Gortat, add someone else in there.


But another thing I love about this trade. The Kings are willing to do a similar trade as well.

 

[Anytime23]

We already have enough to get 2 max contracts at this point. (if this is legit)

ESPN says we have 21M and that LeBron would command 19M if its not a S&T. Hinrich and #17 puts us around 31. Another max costs around 15.8, depending on the player. We dont have the money yet plus w/o Hinrich we only have 5 guys under contract. We need 7 more.

Thank god someone else that understands the NBA salary cap.

We can get some of those guys using the MLE which wouldn't require any additional trades.

We might not know until the 8th. Could be a future pick?

Well, that sucks.

Yeah that proposed Magic deal is basketball-tastic.

Then again the ESPN report on this trade says the trade would be enough for the Bulls to sign two of them.

So who do we believe? ESPN or ESPN?

OMGZER!@#

Someone call Jalen Rose!.....Who works for...ESPN!@!@!#$@#

Im not sure what LeBron makes is what is counted against the cap. I asked about this a long time ago too. Sham did a break down of this recently too.

 

[Lebron-To-Bulls]

maybe it will be andray blatche, yea right that would be sweet but not realistic

I think we have enough money to sign two max players if we JUST SIGN THEM but if we do a S&T, we can't.

Im just saying what i saw last night on that draft show. They had the #s on the screen that said LeBron in a 6yr deal w/ Cle makes around 15something and that elsewhere its a 5 year deal at 19 per.

Now if that was wrong then great but say we have 31M and a max is 15.5, two guys put us right there at 31 and we still dont have 12 guys on the roster. We all have said repeatedly around here that it would take both Deng and Hinrich off the books for us to get two maxs and now we lose Hinrichs 9.5 and we do have enough? I dont get whats changed.

 

[Anytime23]

Is there anywhere we can get an exact # on the max contracts of the top FAs?

 

[Anytime23]

That kids a baller.

Two threads for this? Really?
