QUOTE The Chicago Bulls have a deal in place that would move Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards, freeing up enough cap space to pursue two maximum-salary players on this summer's free-agent market, sources with knowledge of the Bulls' plans said Thursday. Link
It wasn't immediately clear what Washington would send to Chicago in the trade. |

So, one comment...prior to now, I didn't know where the cap level was, and if the cap went low enough, it was possible that trading Hinrich wasn't enough to give the Bulls clearance to offer 2 max deals.
This article says plainly that it gives the Bulls room to offer 2 max deals, which I assume means that someone knows the final cap number well enough to have done the math. |

damn this is interesting though.. since im assuming were not taking on any contracts are we picking at 30 or 35 now?
this is actually a good deal for the wizards. theyre in cap hell already so kirks contract isnt going to change anything, and honestly they could use kirk.. because now they dont have to ask as much for arenas in a trade, or if they keep him, have the option of starting kirk and arenas if they dont want wall in there right away or if wall and arenas cant play together i wish kirk could have stuck around but that contract was the end of his time as a bull. great memories but best of luck |

I am excited about the move. This provides quite a bit of cap room to go after the top tier free agents. If we do not get James, Wade or Bosh, I would be disappointed. I could live with Joe Johnson and Amare.

From what I have been hearing its 50/50 Cleveland/Chicago. From listening to the 670thescore tonight, they made it seem like Lebron is all but done with Cleveland. ESPN's Jon Berry thinks Chicago will indeed get Lebron AND Chris Bosh. WOW. Something big is going to happen here folks. . stay tuned!!!!! The Hinrich deal opened up room for 2 max free agents!

I believe in dealing Hinrich we are still 1 or 2 million short of offering another full max unless I'm missing something? |
