I think the Bulls will find that out soon. My only problem is us not getting anything in return.
What's our cap situation look like now. How much money do we have? I know we traded Corliss awhile back and made a couple other moves (Darko) to free up cap space to sign
Ben, so we should some type of money left. But is there anyone to sign?

Re: ben goes to chitown
I'm totally confused. That espn article says the intial offer was the final offer... It was pointless not to throw in the extra money since it wouldn't affect our caproom... Even though they offered 48 million it's like they wanted to do something that they know would send him somewhere else....

That reamains to be seen on a large level. Still amoung the best rebounders and the DPOY.
Even "declining" he offers more than Chandler did/does/will at only 3-4 million more per year.
Chandler will likely be moved for ending contract/young talent so the bulls shift one "could be" for a "is at the highest level" for 3-4 million a year.
Not a bad gamble.

Re: ben goes to chitown
ben is in delcine, but with him and another wing player we were in championship contention for the nxt two years, we are nowhere close now. i dont see why Joe cant talk chicago into signing and trading and getting chandler, a guy they dont want anyways.
we sitll have zero cap room.

Re: ben goes to chitown
I'm sure Ben will be better in Chicago. He was upset since Saunders came here about being reduced to a role player.

He was god-awful from game 4 in the Cavs series on. I know that was only a 10 game sample, but god, if that's any indication.
Only thing that sucks is I'm sure the Pistons wouldn't have let Okur and Darko go if they knew this was going to happen.

Darko yes, Okur... no way we match what Utah gave him, even now. I'd rather have Dice starting than Okur anyway.

Re: ben goes to chitown
It would be nice to have Darko right now. The minutes are there, just a year too late.

Yep... though I think he hated the organization going by his comments in Orlando. He thought he'd been deceived.
