With the Free Agency upon us, it seems like a good time to have a catch-all thread for posts like this: This guys seems like a sleeper Pax would go after. Scola reportedly is signing a 3 year $9.6 million dollar deal with the Rockets (plus $500K to help with his buyout). I'm predicting it now. Rockets vs Bulls in the finals next year. Rockets win the title in 7 games. |

the bulls are now looking to resign Lu and BG to long term extensions Good. They better be looking to re-sign both of them. I think Gordon should get about $10 million per year, but no more, considering he's pretty one-dimensional. As for Deng, he should get like, what? $12 mil/yr for 4 years. Then he can become a free agent again when he's entering his prime, kind of like what LeBron, Bosh, and D-Wade did. |

It would certainly be nice to add another year or two to Lu's deal beyond that if at all possible. |

I just don't think he (or maybe I should say, his agent) would do that b/c he could get so much more money in his 2nd deal if his first deal only lasts 4 years. I guarantee that a 27-year-old Deng would get ridiculous amounts of money as a free agent b/c the years around that age will be the best of his career. |

my hope for deng is a 6 year 84 million deal.....that's an average of 14 million a year
that will be a good deal for deng and us bc ur right...at 27 he could get a max deal...he will be better and younger than rashard lewis was this offseason Gordon my hope is 4-5 years and 9-10 million a year. But I actually think that the bulls will extend deng but not gordon. I think he is gonna want starting SG money. If Kirk got 11 he's gonna want at least that and probably a little more. But the bulls arent sold on him starting. I bet they offer him not much more than Noc's deal, maybe 5 years 40 million and there's a stalemate. Gordon plays out the contract, and then Paxson decides whether he's worth starters money or sign and trade him. |

We need to get Gordon signed long-term, and we need to give Deng a life-long contract.

Rockets win the title in 7 games. Not a chance. McGrady would have to stay healthy, and we know that isn't going to happen. |

I dont know why but for some strange reason i feel Paxson is not done making moves this offeseason. Other than a needing post-player, Paxson said he knows our backcourt is small and he would fix it. I really believe he will sign a player soon a veteran like Eddie Jones. The guy can give us defense and offense off the bench and isnt a young guy thats going to want lots of minutes nor a lot of money.
With Sefolosha developing, Duhon is only taking minutes from him. I really believe Duhon and Khryapa will be gone b4 the season starts. -Hinrich/Curry -Gordon/Thabo/Jones -Deng/Nocioni/Griffin -Thomas/Smith/Gray -Wallace/Noah |

It certainly does seem like Duhon and Khryapa should be packaged off somewhere to grab someone who might make a bigger impact than either of them. Right now, they're literally guys 13 and 14 on this roster.

Duhon is at WORST the 10th player on our roster. Unless you're putting him behind griffin, curry, gray, khryapa. which you shouldn't be right now.

From what I've gathered this offseason, performance on the court is not the only issue we're dealing with here. Really? I haven't read anything other than the occasional trade rumor when it comes to him. But we hear that for every player. I don't think Paxson is comfortable with Sefolosha or Gordon at the PG spot, and I don't think bulls fans should be either. Would I be surprised or upset if he was traded? no. I don't expect it though, at least not until midseason since he's expiring too. the off the court boozing doesn't seem to have been brought up as an issue for a very long time anywhere other than here. |
