No, he'll probably end up with the Clippers if he can't convince NY/NJ to take him.

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Do two chicks at the same time.

Wouldn't you have to give up more than that for him? If not, I'd definitely make that deal.

Awesome.

Chicago Bulls sign Kyle Korver to 3-year, $15 million deal‎

The Chicago Bulls have reached an agreement to sign sharpshooting free agent Kyle Korver, according to sources close to the situation.

Sources told ESPN.com that Korver, formerly of the Utah Jazz, will sign a three-year deal worth an estimated $15 million.

Korver will become the Bulls' second significant free-agent acquisition, along with former Utah teammate Carlos Boozer, to sign with Chicago after the Bulls' unsuccessful pursuit of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.

"Kyle can shoot the heck out of the ball," Boozer, speaking on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 on Thursday, said of his former teammate with the Jazz. "He's 6-7, 6-8 with real size and can shoot the ball. In practice he doesn't miss many shots, and then in games when he's on, he's as good as anybody."

Korver was the NBA's foremost 3-point shooter last season at 53.6 percent, averaging 7.2 points for the Jazz in 52 games.

He fills a huge need for Chicago, which has lacked a floor-stretching complement to Derrick Rose. The 6-7 swingman also arrives with the experience of playing off Boozer's presence in the low post.

Awesome.

Stevie Franchise??????????

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

He's basically a poor man's Ron Artest.

Joe Dumars is offering Rip Hamilton and/or Tayshaun Prince up as "consolation prizes" to teams with cap space to spend. However, he wants current impact players back as part of the trade. Don't think the Bulls have anything he'd be interested in. Unless Dumars is the new Isaiah Thomas of NBA GMs and can be tricked into taking Deng off the Bulls hands.

Well pretty much every decision he has made in the past 5 years hasnt worked out, so your last sentence is certainly plausible.

Awesome.

Tony Allen would be a good fifth guard. Can defend. They still need a back up point though.

Awesome.

Yeah I think it was Simmons who said that top 5 was like reaching into a brown paper bag that contained two $100 million checks, 2 $10 million checks, and a $10 check. They got the $10 check. I cant ever understand why they wouldnt have take Carmelo considering the team they already had. It was very safe to assume that his floor was a borderline all star that could score alot ala glenn robinson.

Awesome.

Ok, where's those NBA guys like Hova or FavreFan or Bagels, Bucket, somebody help me out!

1. How much cash do the Bulls have left to spend? I know that question depends heavily on what happens with Reddick at this point.

2. Can a guy like Morrow sign two offer sheets at once? Or could the Bulls offer him a sheet even after he has signed the one with the Nets?

3. What sort of exceptions are available to the Bulls? Mid-level, Veterans minimum etc.......?

I don't like any of the free agents who are left......though I wouldn't mind seeing the Bulls making a very minimum investment in Ronnie Brewer, Rasual Butler, Marquis Daniels or James Singleton.

And then there's 3 guys I'd like to see targeted, though I have no idea what it would take to get them.
Shane Battier has been rumored to be available, and I think he would be a terrific bench addition. He's going into the last year of his contract. He can spread the defense, he can certainly play defense, and would provide a positive veteran presence. He'll make a little over $7 million next year.
Deandre Jordan is entering the last year of his contract, and though I don't know why they'd move him, it is the Clippers after all. He would be nice insurance to backing up Noah. While I love Noah, I don't love his foot problems. Jordan will make less than $1 million next year.
And then there's Nick Young. Maybe we could hit up our recent trading partner yet again. Young makes $2-3 million the next couple of years, can spread defenses, and would be a 6th man candidate.

I don't love any of these 7 guys. If I had a favorite out of the seven, it would be Jordan. But I'm just trying to look at guys who may be somewhat realistic, and very cheap in most cases, to get.

Awesome.

Because of Prince. He felt he could get a project that needed a couple of years and be fine. Only issue is his project cares about basketball 3 or 4 times a year.

Awesome.

Bulls, Celtics battling for Howard
By Mark J. Miller
Swingman Josh Howard(notes) spent time with the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks last season and now he's got two other teams battling over his services.

Yahoo! Sports' Marc J. Spears reports that the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls both have "serious interest" in the 30-year-old who averaged 12.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game last season.

The Bulls have financial room to sign Howard (depending on what happens with its offer to J.J. Redick(notes)), but the Celtics would need to do a sign-and-trade to get him, Spears notes, because Jermaine O'Neal(notes) has already taken the team's mid-level exception.

The Wizards, Spears reports, also have some interest in bringing back Howard.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Awesome.

The Magic have signed Q Richardson to a multi year supposedly, so this leads me to believe they will not match the Bulls offer for Redick.

Awesome.

It could mean that they aren't going to resign Matt Barnes as well.

Which would make them extremely dumb. Richardson cant play at all anymore really. Barnes is twice the player he is. I hope thats true though.

I like Howard. Unfortunately he often plays like a guy thats high. When motivated he's a good defender and explosive swingman. He could really be great for the C's or Bulls if he wants to win a title. I dont think he gives a shit about winning though.

Josh Howard? I don't know. This team really needs a big man and PG to come off the bench, and the Bulls have pretty much used up most of their available cash if the Reddick deal goes through. What do you guys think?

Awesome.
