Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
I like this idea of signing him, gives us depth at the point for a change and we can move AW to SG if he is available
Peace |

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
Such a signing would give us by far the best guard rotation the Raps have ever had.
Seems pretty fishy but if Babcock comes out of this offseason adding Duhon, Calderon, Charlie and Zoe, while keeping Sow and Bonner, and stashing Ukic overseas, he's my new hero. I don't even think it's possible but you never know. Do we know or can we estimate how much Calderon is signed for- it was definitely a portion of the MLE, correct?
Such a signing would also keep Alvin off the floor...and that much closer to retirement.

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
He would be a great pick up to this team.. he should of been our point guard last year but the bulls stold him from us.
I guess Babcock rather have Duhon than Bonner.

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
This could be a grea signing. Duhon played a fairly important role for the Bulls this year, and hopefully he can team up with Rafer and the Spanish Sensation so give us a very solid backcourt. So opening day something like this...
Pg-Skip-Duhon-Calderon
Sg-Rose-A Dub
Sf-Mo P-Graham-Lamond
Pf-Bosh-Villanueva
C-Hoffa-Sow/Bonner-A Train
We might actually be able to win some games with that crop.

Can we still sign Bonner if we sign Duhon??
Who would like to join me in a prayer that the bulls dont match?

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
I don't think the Bulls match if this offer is more then 2 million per year starting salary but thats just my guess

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
The rumor seems confirmed.
I like Duhon, but unless they are worried Calderon can't even handle back-up minutes, why sign him? Is Alston going? Are they gonna play Alston or Jose at SG for some time - If they played one of them at SG it would give us a backup SG! Duhon is used to playing beside Gordon, maybe Alston works better in that role?
A big time improvement to our perimeter Defence for sure
Interesting!

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
A lot of questions yet to be answered. If the Bulls don't match, what will be the status of Sow and Bonner.
I expect something close to a 3 year deal worth $10 or $11 million for Duhon.

Did he really show in his first year that hes worth 3.5/year??
I think he is a very formidable backup, but I thought the Kevin Ollie type contracts were a thing of the past.

I still think he'll be offered something within that range. Otherwise the Bulls will certainly match.

Hopefully something closer to 2mil. To save enough to at least sign one of Sow or Bonner

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
Aren't we under the impression that Sow isn't getting signed out of the MLE (ie getting the LLE). I know I've been. I don't know what's going on with Calderon but splitting the MLE between Bonner and Duhon would be great.

Re: Chris Duhon??? Rumor!
If Duhon ends up coming here, how many players in the last 2 or 3 seasons have been both on the Bulls and on the Raptors at some time?
Off the top of my head I can think of Jalen Rose, Antonio Davis, JYD, Rick Brunson, Donyell Marshall, Roger Mason Jr. Anybody else?
