Draft morning Bulls rumors


KC Johnson is still pushing that the Bulls will try and pull off using the #17 pick to move Hinrich or Deng. Technically they can't do that on draft night (cap isn't set until July), and while he cites the Heat's trade of Daequan Cook to the Thunder as an example, he doesn't make nearly as much as either Bull.

That said, I suppose it could be agreed upon, and talks were last night that they were looking to move Deng to the Clippers with #17 for their #8 pick. Again, the Clippers technically don't have cap room yet, and while I guess something like this could be agreed to, it's hard to imagine them (or any team) forfeiting their cap space before free agency even begins, without seeing what else could possibly come along. That is unless the Bulls are really confident in them getting LeBron, and consequently the Clippers knowing they have no shot.

In other Bulls rumors, they're in the mix for Rudy Fernandez, who makes so little it wouldn't effect their cap number too much (and the Bulls could make it a fairly even money-swap if they dealt James Johnson).

Also, Mike McGraw confirms that there have been talks between the Bulls and Magic with a Deng for Gortat/Pietrus swap. This deal, even more than simply moving Deng for cap space, is only valid if the Bulls are getting LeBron. And even then I'm not sure I like it that much.

So that's all I've found for this morning, it's sure to be a busy day here, culminating in some surely-epic draft threads tonight. Also, for all non-Bulls NBA chatter, we got a post for that.

draft night seems to have these epic buildups of mass anticipation of crazy trades galore, and then nothing crazy ever ends up happening. i know, 2010 2010 2010, but I just don’t think anything is gonna happen tonight. we’ll see though.

2007?

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

Miami situation, along with New York's

is more of a concept. The Bulls have Rose and Noah in place (and of lesser importance, Gibson), along with the potential to make something happen with Deng and Hinrich. I like the idea of moving the #18 pick and Deng to L.A. for #8, but it seems somewhat far fetched. I mean, I think the Clippers would rather overpay for Rudy than take-on the slightly older and injury-prone Deng. In that scenario, they get to keep their number 8 pick and Rudy Gay.

There are a couple pieces available for the Bulls at 8, possibly Monroe, Paul George, Xavier, Henry, Cole Aldrich, Al Farouq, Babbitt, and Sanders.

Monore, we all have to admit, would be a huuuuuuuge pickup.

Why does DraftExpress still have Damion James as the Bulls pick?

Either they aren’t hearing anything, or I’m going to be ridiculously disappointed. James isn’t horrible, but he has no place on this team.

I agree, these two trades would be pretty sweet consolation prizes

Even if we do not nab Lebron or Bosh. We open up like, what, 35 million in cap space if we trade Deng? We would only have committed like 21 million for next year minus all those lousy cap holds for past draft picks that Sham Sports talked about last week.

Maybe we trade Hinrich For Vujacic and a future first – that gives up 3.5 million more in cap space for next year and Vujacic comes off the books after 10/11. Our committment is down to about 18 million, leaving 38.

Say we grab Paul George (2 million/yr rk contract), Sign Rudy Gay (14 million/yr) and Bosh (17 million/yr), Omer Asik (3 million/yr), and Farmar (3 million/yr).

Noah – Asik
Bosh – Gibson
Gay – George
Fernandes – George
Rose – Farmar

We’d have a point that could shoot the 3 off the bench, a rookie who might get good minutes and develp, a hopefully solid backup C, and a starting 5 that matches the talent of any NBA roster not named the Lakers.

Kirk and #17 for #10 clears essentially the same amount as Deng and #17 for #8 does, although I think it's actually like $750,000 less

but neither move gets you enough for a second MAX free agent, but it could probably get you someone like Rudy Gay, Ray Allen or maybe even David Lee.

by I love football! on Jun 24, 2010 10:20 AM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed, I'll be happy either way

the problem is that the Pacers don’t have the cap room to absorb Hinrich without sending back someone like TJ Ford (if I’m not mistaken) so there’s no real cap benefit to us in that situation.

The Clippers trade gives us more cap room AND moves us up in the draft, so as long as they’re in I say we should go for that.

Ford is not as hard of a contract to move as Hinrich's

But I don’t know too many teams besides Milwaukee that are trying to position themselves to have cap space in 2011. So maybe it would be pretty hard to get off the books. :(

I don't understand

How the Clippers could be restricted to do that trade. Miami’s trade proved that another team can take-on salary even before the cap is set in stone.

Clip cap space for next year is about 15 million if the cap was set at 50 million, but it should be closer to 56. I see how this trade seems too good to be true, but I really think we have to be more weary of who we are dealing with (Sterling) than the rules that forbid it.

I missed that, OK

So I suppose what would happen here is L.A. drafting for Chicago, and then the trade would be made official as soon as the salary cap is put out. It seems like by the time anything in the NBA is “official news” it is not news at all.

I still wonder though, what rules are in place for L.A. to stay true to its word if the trade’s only agreement comes by way of a verbal agreement? Oh well, I guess we just have to suspend our disbelief of Sterling’s cold feet until something like this is put to paper.

YEP

I like getting Indiana’s #10 and agreeing to send that and Deng to LAC for #8. If LAC fails, as long as they take Monroe, Patterson, Aldrich, Henry, George or Babbitt, I wouldn’t mind if they try to screw the Bulls and won’t take Deng. I mean, they can still sign James and Deng would still be tradeable. I mean, if the Bulls get James and Bosh goes to Miami, would NYK really turn down an S & T swapping Deng and Lee?

What do you think would be a smarter move for the bulls?

 1. Signing JJ right away to have a more attractive team to present to LeBron

or

2. Keep the team as is, hope it’s enough to lure LeBron while keeping our chances alive for Bosh?

option 1 – gives us a better chance of Landing leBron

option 2 – gives us a better chance in landing both leBron and Bosh

which option is smarter?

by Da Bears2333333 on Jun 24, 2010 11:18 AM CDT reply actions  

It all depends on their ability to move Deng

If they sign JJ and can’t move Deng, it doesn’t matter how attractive the team is. There’s no cap space for LBJ.

Top five aint happening

I think 8 is just fine as long as we pick up a guy who WILL NOT be a bust. Monroe seems like the only one that might be available that fits the bill. He could end up being better than Deng, too. We just have to hope that Dumars doesn’t wise up and go for Monroe.

by Belize on Jun 24, 2010 2:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

Not really

L.A. can’t trade any of its expirings anymore. They wanted to get Vujacic off of the books along with an expiring to take on Kirk’s ridiculous contract. However, now that they are unable to trade expirings, they will not be able to give us what we want: cap space for this summer. Unfortunately, a team who is over the cap cannot take back more than 115% of what they are giving away. This means that even in an ideal two team trade with the lakers, we need to take back at least 7.7 million. We don’t want to do that.

The only other option is a 3 team trade. But I don’t even want to figure out how that could work.

if the bulls want to move deng as bad as they seem they are

then yeah, trade his big a$$ contract for a second. that would give the bulls the cap space they are looking for and more options with the 17th pick and what ever the second turns out to be. i would do it in a second to be rid of deng’s contract. i just wish they would get something done.

They don't do stuff like that , though

Not suprisingly, the bulls have been reluctant to part with Paxson’s baby Bulls of Hinrich, Deng, and Gordon in the past because they always thought them worth more than their value (which is low because they overpaid them).

HOWEVER! Gar seems to be more about the bottomline. And the bottomline is that in order to win now, you need flexibility.

I think that if the trade goes down it will either be for just a second round pick or we may possibly get a future first.

Hi everyone! Been busy lately. Really quick thoughts

I’ve got to go teach all afternoon and evening, but unless we do something nutty and trade Deng for #8 (which I’d be really cool with)

Basically, I look at this draft like this

Guys that ought to be gone but I might trade up for if the price was right (it probably won’t be) Favors
Johnson, Udoh, Wall, Turner, Henry

Obviously Wall and Turner ain’t gonna happen, and probably not Favors or Johnson. But hey, if someone offered, I’d consider this.

Slightly more realistically, that 8th pick might get Henry or Udoh, both of whom look quite talented on paper.

Guys I’d target with the 17th pick if we keep it
Henry, on the off chance he falls.
Patterson. Tough as nails big with adequate physical skills. Can’t go wrong there.
James Anderson. Just seems like the obvious choice. Looks to be on the board, very good shooter, and rates out fine, although not great athletically compared to other great athletes, he’s still a very good athlete and should hold his own just fine
Damion James. I really don’t know much about him, but he’s got an NBA body and ok skills.

I did a big write up this morning on grading prospects based on measurements in general and grading this draft in particular. I’ll post as a fanshot later, or you can read it at Bullstwo. Don’t have time to post now, have to go teach.

One guy you didn't mention at #8

is Greg Monroe.

That way if we add two max FAs we’re not locked into one of the PFs (who I’m not THAT impressed with after Bosh and maybe Lee). We could add LeBron and Joe Johnson or Rudy Gay or a combo of Ray Allen and Channing Frye or Travis Outlaw — we’d have options.

I think a front-court rotation of Noah, Gibson, Monroe, Frye and (possibly) Asik is pretty good if we’ve got Rose, Hinrich, LBJ and JJ/Ray Allen on the wings.

The Bulls are offering just about anyone

their pick + Hinrich or Deng, so it seems

Good. Glad to see they have their shit together.

Hinrich, this year’s 17 for something, and then Deng, next years first and Bobcats first.

Then outright sign Bosh and LeBron.

I am not familiar with the majority of the players in this years draft.

Heck, I am only familiar with John Wall and a few others. Whoever the Bulls draft will be good, I am sure of it. So what’s the deal with Hinrich and Deng? Are the Bulls gonna ‘move them’ to make even more room for a superstar/free agent, or what?
