yes, you are wrong, research more and then post comments!!

pg) rose
sg) brewer, kyle
sf) deng, jj
pf) boozer, taj
c) noah, asik

thats who the bulls have now

ok flip throws jump shots up but makes bout 13 points off the bench.
he isnt scard to shoot, wich for the bulls good, because he is a combo guard who can still play, and play for cheap,

jj rid is 25 i think but he is a back up sg we would have been paying 7-8 mill his 1st 2 years stupid.

but i say get flip, brad miller, matt burns, and maybe another point guard like acie law, or jamal tinsly

we just gota fill out the roster. thats it our team is set for the most part.

but brewer is a 13.7 points a game 2 years ago he was hurt last year but still got 10.0 points a game. still better then jj rid. stats.

but this team is set to run and gun it, but i think the bulls just need to match the bucks

Now we have Ronnie Brewer! who came out cheaper, taller and lil bit more younger, to balance out our SG position with Kyle Korver.

Kyle Korver will come in for offense, to help the Bulls score quick points when they are down and Ronnie Brewer with come in to slow down great players from scoring like: Wade, Ray Allen and all those other good SG out their in the East!

All we need right now is to add another decent backup PG in case D. Rose gets hurt and plays small minutes.

Some like: Earl Watson, Carlos Arroyo, Rafer Alston, Jamaal Tinsley or Acie Law to a 1-2 year contract. Plus most of these guys can’t ask for that much money since most of them are old. lol

GO BULLS!!!

Salary cap is 58 million or so. That means you can only have salaries up to this point. Exceptions are for resigning your own players and filling out your own roster for the league minimum of 13 players. For filling out your roster, it’s league minimum and scales based on years played in the NBA.

If your team starts out OVER the salary cap going into the next pre-season, you get a mid level exception(MLE), which this year is about 5.8 million. There is also a bi annual exception which to my understanding is 1.8 million this year. You can split this two exceptions any which way you want among however many players you want. However this is typically spent on one to two people to get quality and then the rest of the salary filled with minimums.

The luxury tax threshold is different from the salary cap to allow teams some wiggle room to retain their own stars. For the upcoming year, it’s about 70 million. That means that for every dollar over 70 million, you pay a dollar in tax to the NBA front office. This money is split among the FO and all the other teams in the league that are BELOW the salary cap. This tax isn’t applied till the END of the season. A team can make trades in the middle of the season to try and lessen the burden.

So yes a super rich owner can just buy a really good team but it is costing him a ton of dough. It’s why people wanted Larry Ellison to buy the Warriors, he’d be able to afford going over the luxury tax pretty easily seeing as how he has 28 billion. In Orlando’s case, the new arena is supposed to help offset this added cost and they believe their window is now before the Heat get their MLE and Biannual next year and establish a scary roster, or teams like the Thunder and Blazers, Bulls really start to put it together.

If any of this is off, please feel free to correct and chime in with your view. Hope this helps.

Keeping Flip Murray is probably not a bad idea.

Bulls just signed Brewer, so , I will assume he will be the starting SG.

If John Lucas III keeps playing well in summer league, he is most likely at least going to get a training camp invite.

So, right now we have (9/13):

PG: Rose
SG: Brewer, Korver
SF: Deng, JJ
PF: Boozer, Taj
C: Noah, Asik

If we resign Big Bad Brad and If Lucas sticks around, we have a minimum of 2 spots to fill…

I think a combo guard and anotherforward would be nice.

Possible Bulls lineup, starters first:
PG: D.Rose
SG: Roger Mason Jr.
C: Noah
PF:C. Boozer
SF: L. Deng

Bench:
Kyle Korver
Taj Gibson
Brad Miller
James Johnson
O. Asik
Eddie House
Flip Murry
Matt Barnes

IMO, I think this line up can win the CENTRAL division and be a 3 or 4 seed in the eastern conference. The key is signing proven veterans such as Miller, Barnes, House, and Murry. Most importantly, Barnes needs to be signed to match up better with Milwaukee’s John Salmons and Corey Maggette.
