QUOTE The Chicago Bulls are buying out the contract of forward Tim Thomas. Thomas had one season left on his deal, which would have paid him nearly $6.5 million. He played in just 18 games with the Bulls after being acquired from the New York Knicks in a four-player trade on Feb. 19. The move helps keep the Bulls from paying the luxury tax after signing Jannero Pargo and re-signing Lindsey Hunter. good. |

I read somewhere that although we bought him out his expiring contract could still be used in a trade. Anyone know if that is true? I find it odd that it wouldn't count against the cap but that it could still be used in a trade. But that's just me.

By the way, this is especially good if it means more minutes at the PF slot for all the recent draftees and Thomas.
