QUOTE The Bulls had about $17.5 million in salary-cap space for this season, and general manager John Paxson said Thursday that most of it is going to Ben Wallace. Wallace benefits by getting more money up front, and the structure of the deal helps the Bulls absorb contract extensions to Kirk Hinrich, Andres Nocioni, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng in the coming seasons. By giving Wallace less money later, his contract could be easier to move if a trade comes up.
-- Chicago Tribune With almost no money left to spend on a free agent, John Paxson is looking at making another trade to add a veteran. He has flexibility with the contracts of Malik Allen, Michael Sweetney and J.R. Smith, who was acquired along with P.J. Brown in the Tyson Chandler trade. Paxson will not have the funds to bring back free agent Darius Songaila, who was a top reserve for the Bulls last season. -- Chicago Tribune |

Besides the fact that there is no vindication for your hate of Songaila, you are ignoring the fact that he was our best scoring big man last season.

Agree....And I dont care what people say... The Bulls could use Songolia's offense this coming up season. The pick and Rolls is what Scott Skiles offensive system is mostly all about. And Songo is good at hitting the open J's. |

QUOTE (Bullies4Life @ Jul 14 2006, 02:30 PM) And Songo is good at hitting the open J's. Yeah, he will WHOOP anybody in a game of horse, but this is the NBA, and he can't create his own shot. His foot speed is atrocious, but like I said, he is a quality 9th man because he can shoot and he is arguably the best passer on the team. He doesn't help you, but he doesn't necessarily hurt you either. |

I told you plenty of times. The guy played no defense and I feel that he cost us more loses then he provided wins. I recall on numerous occasions him turning the ball over or giving up easy baskets in the final minutes of close games that we eventually lost last year. I wouldn't mind him being on the team if he was a 2nd/3rd quarter fill-in. But Skiles used him at keep stretches of games and I only recall one time where it ever worked out and he hit a three that forced overtime. |
