    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bulls operations chief John Paxson officially parted ways with Eddie Robinson on Monday, agreeing to pay $10.5 million of the $14.1 million remaining on Robinson's contract.

    "Obviously, this has been ongoing for a while,'' Paxson said. "But for whatever reason, it ended up being not a good fit for Eddie or for us. That's never a good thing for anybody involved.

    ''We obviously wish Eddie well, and I'm sure he'll get an opportunity to play with another organization that may suit him better.''</div>

    I think this was a good move by the Bulls. Robinson hasn't been improving in the last few years, and his contract was a waste of money. Letting him go improved the team and the salary cap.

    No. It still counts against the cap.

    Which team has the best possibility of picking him up and actually using him?
