What are the chances that Taj, MDJ and Calderon are all traded/waived? In order to clear another $21 million in cap room roughly..

Coz I'd like to see the Bulls sign Mike Conley and Harrison Barnes.

PG- Conley/ Grant
SG- Butler/ Valentine
SF- Barnes/ McDermott
PF- Portis/ Mirotic
C- Lopez/ Felicio

Then next year, go out a get maybe a DeMarcus Cousins?

Basically Lopez is a cheaper, healthier Noah. Portis is still unproven as a rebounder and defender. Man next season will suck.

Should have blown it up already. Always best to sell at the low point. Maybe we can hold Butler a few more years and then sell him off at a low point too.

Knowing this regime, they will.

Why not trade Gibson, Dunleavy & Snell ($15.4 mil for the three) for Rubio ($12.7) & a future 2nd round draft pick? I bet Thibadeu would do that - Gibson & Dunleavy both have played under Thibs, so they know his system of things. Plus the Wolves could use some seasoned veterans to balance the team. I could also see Luol Deng going there.

Bulls then could sign Al Horford & Kent Bazemore.

C - Lopez, Felicio
PF - Horford (splits time at PF/C), Portis, Mirotic
SF - McDermott, Bazemore
SG - Butler, Valentine
PG - Rubio, Grant & Dinwiddie

Reserves - Zipser & Calderon


Foreman said that the Bulls are going to save their money for next off season. Why? No big name superstars will come here. Horford is probably the biggest name that might actually come here. Take it and build around him, Butler & Rubio and hope Portis, Valentine, Mirotic, McDermott, Grant & Felicio are the "real deals" going forward.

Another scenario...Sign Jeremy Lin (PG), Ryan Anderson (PF) & either Kent Bazemore or Evan Turner (SG) and trade Mirotic for a future draft pick (clearing some cap space to sign the three).

C - Lopez, Felecio
PF - Gibson, Anderson, Portis
SF - Dunleavy, McDermott
SG - Butler, Turner/Bazemore
PG - Lin, Grant, Dinwiddie

Reserves - Zipser, Calderon & Snell
