Re: NBA: CHICAGO (2-7) at DENVER (7-3) This feels like when Cartwright got fired. Big blowout losses, team not responding to the coach.</p> Maybe Pax is going to reload with D-League players again?</p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (2-7) at DENVER (7-3) On the bright side, we got</p> Toronto 5-6 New Jersey 4-7 Cleveland 5-6 Detroit 6-4</p> So our hole this year isn't going to be quite as big to dig out of. Catching Boston or Orlando might end up being a pipe dream though.</p>

Re: NBA: CHICAGO (2-7) at DENVER (7-3) Everyone except Gordon and Noc seem to make the stupidest passes ever.</p> And Hinrich can't stop falling down and dribbling the ball off his foot.</p> Ben Gordon got some decent looks, it just rimmed out all night. Him having this bad of a shooting night was an absolute doomsday scenario for the Bulls.</p>

Big blowout losses, team not responding to the coach.</p> Maybe Pax is going to reload with D-League players again?</div></p> I was playing around with the numbers, and essentially the Bulls could be significantly under the salary cap if they can:</p> 1. Trade Wallace for expiring deals 2. Trade Gordon for expiring deals 3. Trade Thabo for expiring deals Obviously they'll need an inducement for some team to take on Wallace. Maybe Thabo, Duhon, and a future pick.</p> Gordon's cap hold would be about $12M which would kill any possible cap space. So if you can replace that with a player on a rookie deal or a higher pick, that'd be valuable and let us get under the cap.</p> Oddly enough, Deng's cap hold for next year will be something less than what he'll probably make, so we could likely still court FAs without worrying about him.</p> So if all of that could be done, we go into next year with Hinrich, Deng, Nocioni, Thomas, Noah, Smith, + Cap Room + Our own (high) draft pick, + whatever we get for Gordon. If we could get a quality FA (Brand?), that might not be awful.</p>

Re: NBA: CHICAGO (2-7) at DENVER (7-3) Wouldn't trading Wallace be an admission that signing him was a huge mistake?</p> Ain't gonna happen </p>
