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?


No, tax teams do not get the full MLE. They just blew their wad on Kirk, everyone else has to be vet minimum.

I'd love to get Green for that. However, if I were running a shitty team, I'd certainly take a shot at him for a couple mil.

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.


Kirk has gotten a ton of hate on this board and I understand why.

However he hasn't been healthy the past year and that was a big reason why we saw decline. However, they would have paid Watson more next year if they had exercised his option then they'll pay Kirk.....sounds great to me.

Maybe we can use the "you'll play for a winner" argument

But the Bulls are still under the tax line, right? at least until they match on Asik?

If Kirk could stay healthy and get back to where he was in 2009, this is a solid, competitive move for the Bulls that makes the team stronger on defense and offense. It works best, of cours,e if Rose is still there, because Hinrich can be an extra ball handler and can make a mid-range jumper, providing floor spacing without really sacrificing anything on defense. Without Rose...meh, we're a 7 seed either way.

Meh. This is like a back up catcher argument. Kirk helps the team, as he is a way better defender, and that is about all you can ask from him.

We really can't tell until they make final decisions on some of these role players.

However, I'm working under the assumption that they will be a tax team. Rose, Noah, Deng, Boozer and Hamilton is already like $60 mil. Kirk, Taj, Butler and Teague are another $7 mil. I don't know the exact tax line, but I think it's somewhere between $70 and 75 million, and they need at least 4 more players, two of which probably need to actually get minutes (another big and another wing).
