Balta1701 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) I'm not sure of next year's available money. Next year the Bulls could have available money but to make that happen they have to allow Jimmy Butler to become a restricted FA and also not do anything else long-term this offseason other than Mirotic. Seems fairly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop 37s If Lakers acquire Lin and first-round pick from Rockets, that hurts Bulls' chances at shedding Boozer in S&T for Gasol. Assuming no Melo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 22s Rockets have dealt Jeremy Lin and a future first-rounder to Lakers, sources told ESPN. Houston clearing space to land Bosh, keep Parsons.

Soxbadger Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) The Bulls will have far fewer traceable assets then thanks to Boozer's contract being removed. No one is really lining up for Boozer right now. And next year the Bulls could likely make a max fa offer with guys like Aldridge, Love, as UFA and Klay Thompson as RFA. (Edit) Which is why if the Bulls dont get Melo they might as well just ride with what they have instead of getting a band-aid (presuming they cant trade for a Love or Aldridge).

And next year the Bulls could likely make a max fa offer with guys like Aldridge, Love, as UFA and Klay Thompson as RFA. Didn't Aldridge basically say he will be returning to Portland, the reason he didn't sign is because he was waiting for the max for 5 years next year? Love will be traded and probably given an extension by the team that gets him, and Thompson will be subjected to a match. Would the Bulls be able to offer a max next year? I find that unlikeley.

Jake Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I see absolutely no way for the Rockets to get both Parsons and Bosh. They'd be way too far over the cap and the offer sheet makes his cap hold enormous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cavs get Love he will definitely sign an extension and Aldridge has stated he wants to stay in Portland and with them having a solid young core around him I don't see him leaving. If those two are off the market next year's free agency class is pretty weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were good options this year, sure. But there arent, so it would make 0 sense to commit money right now and then not wait and see what happens.

But there arent, so it would make 0 sense to commit money right now and then not wait and see what happens. There are plenty of decent options, but they can't twist in the wind waiting for Melo to say no, and be left holding a bag of money they can't pay to the decent options. If Melo plays the Bulls, and Gasol et al. are off the board, when they get their answer, it's time for Gar/Pax to take a hike, and I have never been a Gar/Pax hater.
