Jenksismyhero Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 If the Bulls sign him they can't trade him for 30 days. So that's some more cap space they don't have for Melo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though that they couldn't sign Mirotic and Melo outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev211 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Mirotic only secured his buyout. The bulls can only pay 600k of that and it doesn't hurt the cap. If he actually signs with the bulls then it will hurt the cap. All he did was get out of his contract in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Kinda odd none of the Bulls reporters are saying anything about Mirotic. Also if the reports are true Niko himself if the one paying for his buyout...That's kinda odd, I think EDIT- Good call Kev on that 600k tidbit, I had forgotten all about that.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Pau was offered the MLE from the Thunder......That seems awfully low. I didn't really want Pau because I thought he'd be getting ~10M. At the MLE I'd love to have him. Edited July 4, 2014 by scs787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really want Pau because I thought he'd be getting ~10M. At the MLE I'd love to have him. At that price, he is definitely worth the price to be the primarily back-up to both Taj and Jo. The team would definitely be better, but still does not solve the main issue of wing scoring. Maybe McDermott can fill some of the void but you would definitely need another piece.

If they don't have to clear Dunleavy's $ then he's another scorer. Still not real sure what to think of Jimmy, and Snell is a bit of a mystery as well but right now those 2 are the SGs with MJD/DMD at SF......Vince Carter makes some sense IMO and I'd still like Augustin back... Rose/Augustin Butler/Carter DMD/MJD Taj/Niko Noah/Gasol That looks like a fun lil team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 That's just bulls***. People need to forget about it. It's clear that it doesn't even make a difference, anyway. Once in the history of ever has recruitment by one player caused another star player to change teams. Otherwise, it's just money and fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
