Derrick Martell Rose will not be traded. Luol Deng might be another story, especially with the Bulls over the salary cap and the team very likely to listen to offers this summer in hopes of trading #9. If Deng is traded, I think Jimmy Butler takes over the small forward slot, but there's also talk about Butler sliding into the #2 guard spot.

Butler will be the SG.

The Euro kid won't be here yet.

Boozer has played more than well enough to stick around for another year. I don't see them moving or amnestying him. Is Bellinelli under contract for next year too?

To my knowledge, Marco Belinelli is a free agent this summer. Carlos Boozer has 2 years left on his $80 million contract signed in 2010. There's been talk about amnestying Boozer next summer.

It depends on 13-14 or 14-15. He'll be 14-15.

4/11/13

Chicago Bulls fans eager for Nikola Mirotic to join the team that drafted him with the 24th pick in 2011 will likely have to wait until the summer of 2014, general manager Gar Forman explained.

"You're slotted in the first round, and I think the slot for No. 24 is $1.3 or $1.4 million," Forman said Thursday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "Well, he makes a lot more money than that right now over at Real Madrid. So the way the CBA is written is after three years then you're no longer slotted. Then you can use whether it's exception room or cap room in order to pay a guy.

"So there's no possibility this summer because next year will be his third year. But after next year, the summer of 2014, then we'll be able to start some negotiations as far as a buyout possibly with Real Madrid or negotiate with him to come over here."

The 6-10 forward has been compared to Dirk Nowitzki and Danilo Gallinari.

"He reminds me of Dirk and a little bit of Gallo, just a little bit," said Memphis center Zach Randolph, who played against Mirotic in an exhibition game. "But I can see the Dirk comparisons. I can see why, definitely."

Some thought Mirotic could play small forward, but Forman said he'll be a power forward.

"We're really, really excited about him," Forman said. "We built a relationship with him, we're in constant communication. John (Paxson) and I went up and saw him this fall when he played at Memphis and at Toronto in a couple NBA exhibitions, and we think the ceiling there is incredible.

"He's probably a four, but he's very, very skilled. He shoots it from 3, can handle it, good mobility. And he's a tough, tough kid."

Forman said Mirotic is about to win the Euroleague's Rising Star Award for the third time.

"Nobody has ever won it more than once, and some of the guys who have won it are the foreign guys who have come over, Rudy Fernandez, Nowitzki, Toni Kukoc and all those guys won it," he said. "He's going to win it for a third time, which is impressive."

That was a name The SCORE's David Schuster mentioned earlier this season. Ronnie Brewer signed with the Knicks in the offseason, but was dealt to the Thunder at the NBA Trade Deadline. He's a name to keep an eye on this summer.

I think the Bulls probably go with Jimmy Butler. He will have the summer to work on his game. He isn't a dynamic scorer, but his ability to defend makes his one of Thibs favorite players. Having a guy who plays excellent defense and can give you 10 points a game is almost as good as a guy who plays very little defense but can score 15 a game.

Considering the Bulls' cap situation you have to think they will not been adding many players without some kind of trade. Deng is supposed to come off the books after next season, so anything is possible after that.
