Lol Ive read all your posts, I just didn't read whatever link you posted....Until now, damn. I was looking for that loophole they talked about....It made sense to me till I read that, I apologize for wasting your time...I tried to stump The Slowik.... So heres hoping Deng and Butler have a good year to justify the trading of Deng. There aren't that many places they'd be able to move him since the Bulls couldn't take any significant salary back and still have room for a free agent. They'd need someone that is far enough under the cap to absorb his entire deal. Plus all those teams are going to be trying to get the better free agents themselves. By the time one of those teams gave up their dreams and settled on Deng, all the good free agents would probably be gone. 2015 is far more likely since Deng's contract would just expire by then, though they'd still need some roster management to have any space (obviously Boozer would have to be amnesty'd, they'd either have to renounce Deng or sign him to a huge discount to clear that massive cap hold, and Gibson could be an issue depending on what happens the next year-plus with his contract). |

You think the Magic would still have interest? Supposedly they were asking about him this offseason but thats probably out the window with Dwight gone right?
The free agent market after Dengs gone is filled with aging stars... Theres a few good SFs (Gay, Granger, and Pierce) but I think we're hoping Butler takes that role for cheap. Maybe they grab one of em and move Butler to SG?? SG might be really thin, I can't see Kobe going anywhere, I doubt DWade goes anywhere, though if he doesn't resign I think he'll be a Bull. Hopefully Evan Turner or Paul George hit the market, because past them I don't see any good options. PF is interesting if they don't resign Taj. Dirk could be a real fun option but I'd rather wait another year and get Love. In a perfect world they'd get George or Turner then Love the following year if at all possible. Rose-George-Butler-Love-Noah would be fun stuff. |

The key to a successful franchise is getting some team to make a deal that is clearly in your favor. See the LA Lakers, Miami Heat
