Bulls Plan On Trading Deng, Amnesty Boozer

[jonathanlambert33]

The Bulls' game-plan for the immediate future is coming into focus. League sources with knowledge of Chicago's plans say that they'll definitely be looking to deal Luol Deng before the Feb. 20 trading deadline. Deng is a free agent this summer and the Bulls don't want to pay him anything close to top dollar. The second part of their house-cleaning: They intend on using their amnesty move this coming summer to part ways with Carlos Boozer. Boozer is scheduled to make $16.8 million next season. As we reported earlier, Derrick Rose has caught wind of the plans and is none too thrilled about being part of a rebuilding project. Tom Thibodeau won't be very happy with it, either

Boozer will have 16 million dollar expiring contract next season... why amnesty him now?

Boozer will have 16 million dollar expiring contract next season... why amnesty him now?

wont trade him and its like losing his contract a year early
Not a bad amnesty

 

[buzzy]

expirings are always tradable

 

[Mexi]

Yeah but for what? They wont get anyone good
Just get the cap space and let taj and mirotic play

his expiring will be too expensive to deal.

gets him off the book earlier, opens time up for taj and maybe a rookie. i like it.

id wait to get rid of deng too. i feel like hed take a discount. but if they want to really rebuild, id go for it. rose is young enough to take a rebuild now, unless he really is scared about not being the same.
