Looks like JR's on his way to Denver, in what appears to be another salary dump. At least we get 2 2nd rounders out of it...
QUOTE Before Griffin’s signing becomes official, the Bulls will send shooting guard J.R. Smith to Denver for two future second-round draft picks and the nonguaranteed contract of point guard Howard Eisley, who will then be released. One potential delay is waiting for physicals to be completed in the trade with New Orleans. The Bulls acquired Smith from the Hornets, along with power forward P.J. Brown, in exchange for Tyson Chandler. They can’t unload Smith until that deal becomes official. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/bulls.asp |

I heard this during the morning commute. I don't really understand why you would do the trade except for the picks... Eisley is a scrub.
According to Rotoworld, we will then waive Eisley. Why trade Smith for picks?? QUOTE The Bulls have acquired guard Howard Eisley and two second-round draft picks from the Nuggets in exchange for guard J.R. Smith.
The Bulls will reportedly then waive Eisley and it will be a week before he clears waivers. Once that happens, he shouldn't have a hard time finding a job as a third-string point guard somewhere. Jul. 17 - 9:46 am et |

Why trade Smith for picks?? Future draft picks don't count against present day salary cap. What it does it is opens up the amount of Eisley's contract for the Bulls under the salary cap. Esentially we are trading Smith for Griffin and 2 2nd round picks. |
