bmags Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sigh, I like Doug, but that would put the ongoing tally to complete his deal to be 2 first round picks and 3 second round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 03:44 PM) Salary relief maybe? Yeah it's just for the cap space. They needed Randolph's salary to sign Gasol/Mirotic. Wouldn't have enough with just the Boozer amnesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have enough with just the Boozer amnesty. I'm not going to lose sleep over 2nd round draft picks. We could buy a few up with ease this off-season if need be. We also get some form of a TPE for this, so in theory this might actually give some flexibility to use for a small level S&T (maybe even for someone like Jameer Nelson).

Jenksismyhero Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Wouldn't the cap hit on 2 1st round picks at 16 and 19 be more expensive than just McDermott's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you factor in the minimum salary for the other roster spot (e.g., we still would have had to have 2 players vs. 1, so Doug McD + minimum cap hold of like 500K > #16 and #19.

Yes, but you could have used one of those on a euro player (as denver did) and stash them ala Mirotic. That "savings" was negated by taking back Randolph, whom we then had to use assets to unload his 1.9 million salary. Brutal brutal brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about two extremely late 2nd round picks here. We aren't talking about even a top 2nd round pick, which still has little value and can be easily bought. This was nothing. In fact, we now have a bit of a trade exemption, which when applied with the rules, would allow us to potentially spend a little something on another wing player.

Steve9347 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Unstoppable? Jason Richardson didn't play at all last year, only played 33 games in 2012-2013 (and was pretty bad when he did play) and is 33 years old. He may be done. Wroten can't shoot at all so I don't think he is a good fit either. Wroten was the get there, and we're talking a backup who can run the point. Richardson was just contract filler who can still hit some 3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 So Bulls get draft rights to this guy back in the deal: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Milova...ovic-187/stats/ That's right, a 29 year old big who averages .1 blocks per game. I wonder if euro leagues have cap tricks where they draft american players who quite clearly won't come over to save money. They also get the better of bulls 2nd round picks in 15 and 16.

Steve9347 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) Technically, Pau can create his own shot in the post, much more so then Boozer or anyone else we've ever had could down in the post. Not to the extent he once could but he is extremely nifty and efficient in the paint. Wait, Boozer's high-arching fadeaway from 18 feet was "shot creation"!??!?!?

Steve9347 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) Does Rosenbloom think 90% of the NBA is another form of Carlos Boozer? Today he says Gasol is Spanish for Boozer. When I was listening to the Score several weeks ago, he was actually saying Love was just a better shooting Boozer. Rosenbloom is Spanish for "overpaid blowhard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
