bmags Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Don't get me wrong, you can win a championship with Deng, but you can't win a championship with Deng as your second most high paid player unless you got huge value out of some rookie deal. Bulls don't have that and likely won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 For those talking about how bad the bulls are...yes they are bad, but if they ever get healthy, then you can finally tell me what their record is. My presumption is a healthy Bulls team isn't 3-12 without Rose. No Butler...No Deng...means bad things for the Bulls. And of course no Hinrich too but not near the impact the other two have, especially with Augustine looking like a solid pick-up. I really like the idea of trading Deng/Boozer for Pau and then trying to find a way to move Pau after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this team gets horsef***ed by LeBron and the Heat every year until I'm dead. #forever90's Relax dude, it's not even Christmas yet. I said that I don't want Deng back unless he signs for less than 10 mil (or I guess maybe a frontloaded deal that pays him like 12 now and 8 at the end). I won't freak out until they sign him though. I'm more worried that they'll be too cheap to amnesty Boozer and we're stuck with him for another year.I don't trust them to take advantage of his expiring deal and they need to start figuring out how good Mirotic is.

Every one of those scenarios is not as crazy as the 1.8% chance we struck years ago. There's a big problem there. It's really, really, really tough to keep Deng, get a top draft pick, and have the money to bring in Mirotic. By my count, the Bulls have less than $10 million under the cap if they amnesthetize Boozer. Part of that gets chewed up by a draft pick. $5 million+ is probably required to bring Mirotic over. That leaves literally zero dollars for Luol Deng. IIRC, the Bulls would have to renounce his Bird rights in order to be far enough under the cap to bring Mirotic over.
