Bulls' talks with Hinrich have focused on vet's minimum of $1.2 million or slightly higher. With 8 teams in mix, doubt that gets it done.

Yeah, doesn't look like he'll end up coming back here, which is more than okay with me. I always liked Kirk, but I don't want him back.

How much you guys think Aaron Brooks will get coming back from China?? I want a PG that will make up for some of the scoring we lose in Derrick.

I would certainly take Kirk at vet's minimum. I have a feeling he won't be doing us any favors since we traded him away for nothing to get LeBron James

Took me a minute to realize "Bucs" wasn't the Pirates or Buccaneers.

Don't know how I feel about this.

That's a nice look at what's going on and it makes perfect sense for us to wait because as Aggrey said, someone is going to have to take vet's minimum to get a job next year. Some of those players will be decent players.

Anyone know if the 2nd year is a team option? From the articles I read I didn't see any mention of it. The way the Bulls contracts are structured they could clear up a lot of cap space by using the amnesty on Boozer, not exercising Rips deal, hopefully not exercising Kirks option if they have one. Then they should have enough to hopefully add a very good free agent and sign Gibson to an extension.

Either way, in 2 years, Deng's contract will be expiring so hopefully we can either package him or sign him again for much less. Then we add in Mirotic and the 1st rounder from Charlotte (which hopefully will be a top 5 pick) and get one of the top tier free agents and we should be in prime position to end the Heats 4 peat aspirations.

Charlotte's pick is protected until the 2016 draft, so if they get it before then it'd be outside the top-8. Mirotic could also be tricky given his salary in Europe (he'd probably be taking a pay cut in the NBA), though it's always hard to say with that.

They're wording it like it's a 2-year deal for Kirk. He's pretty much a necessary evil this year with Rose hurt, next year he doesn't fit as well. I really hope he isn't their answer at the 2. I'm not really a fan of using their two main assets this off-season (1st rounder and mini-MLE) to add PG's, not when there's a huge hole at SG and they're losing all their depth on the wing. He made a lot more sense at the veteran minimum.

Bulls apparently using taxpayer MLE on Hinrich, via @KCJHoop report, which is sign they likely keep Korver and may even match Asik.

Based off this move, I feel like the Bulls are going to try and keep the band together (minus Brewer and Watson) and try to defeat the Heat's Big #

I know I'm against the grain here, but I like the move. Kirk is getting no love around here but I think we'll wind up liking him once again on this team. He adds depth at PG but also SG. Not an ideal 2, but he can guard non-huge 2's and will at least knock down an open shot and move the ball around at that position.

The money isn't too much, but I'm curious - do we still have the "regular" MLE? Or does using the taxpayer one mean that we plan to pay taxes?

Any chance Gerald Green comes in at vet's minimum?

I agree...I like this move.

If we can get Gerald Green at the minimum, all of the sudden I like what we'll have, though the team will be a bit busy.

PG: [Rose]/Hinrich/Teague
SG: Hamilton/Korver/Green
SF: Deng/Butler/Green
PF: Boozer/Gibson/Deng
C : Noah/Asik/Gibson

I was a huge proponent of retooling, but if that roster can hold down the fort until Rose gets back, they might have a punchers chance. They'll need to jettison Asik next year though.
