There is rumor that was posted on Realgm and the Bulls board on BBB.net, that ESPN is reporting we have signed Chris Duhon to a offer sheet, details coming soon . .waiting for a link that's not a message board.

You're the closest to a source we've got so far!


Basics -

6'1" 185lbs

Last year he played 26 mpg and averaged 6 points / 5 assists

Basically slighly better stats than Milt, in slightly more minutes. He is a quality PG though in leading an offence, and he can score a bit to, although not consistantly.

Does this mean Bonner is gone ? I imagine we are offering Duhon more than 1/2 the mle ...

rafer/duhon/jmc would be the best guard rotation we've had in a long time, if not ever.

i've read that chicago offered duhon the LLE but duhon declined it. the LLE is limited to two years, duhon wanted more. for chicago to match an offer to duhon, they'll have to dip into their MLE. (they have not yet extended curry and chandler.)

should micheal finley be amnestied, he'd be a fanstastic addition for the bulls. i'm sure chicago's keeping an eye on his situation. the offer's timing is interesting in terms of this.

not matching duhon lets chicago offer the full MLE to finley. ($5MM and become a hometown hero and vet leader for a great young team is a lot to pass up to play with nash for minimum.)

it also opens the way for the return of jay williams. (LLE). finley/gordon/hinrick/williams - wow! (of course the wow is determinite upon jay being able to play at a good-to-high level)


if the choice comes down to finley and jay vs. duhon and partial MLE scraps...

Despite being an avid hater of ribs during his Duke days, I would be satisfied with this signing.

I feel dirty for saying that.

i agree spurious ... i believe the timing babs is using to sign duhon to an offer sheet is good, since chandler and curry both remain unsigned. i forgot about finley too ... it makes even more sense to offer now before finley gets waived by dallas.

the bulls would be using the money they have under the cap to sign duhon ... and they don't want to use too much that they can't retain the baby bulls. looks like a solid chess move by babs.

JuniorNoboa

The Bulls can go over the cap as much as they want to sign Curry and Chandler - so no impact on whether they sign Duhon or not. It could impact there ability to sign Finley however, as I am sure they are looking to use the MLE for him.

Duhon here in Toronto would be a great addition. The Bulls started out 0-7 if I'm not mistaken, but then Duhon was inserted into the starting lineup, and everything seemed to fall right into place. He's a good defender, gets his teammates involved, and can knock down the open three.

Turkish Delight

Even though this would seem to be great news, I think Paxton went on the record a couple of months ago and said that they would be matching any offer sheets for anyone of their players.
