    Another thought.......

    Sign either Whiteside (#1 choice overall for me) or Bismack Byombo to lower Max contracts (<$22M). Resign our RFA's and let it all bake. Whole team is under 26 yrs old. Let'em grow.

    Signing old guys Horford or Howard to max deals makes us renounce a few of our RFA's for only a few years serviceability. Maybe better to STAY YOUNG and let it grow.

    DL - CJ - Hark - Aminu- Whiteside or Byombo
    Roberts - Crabbe - Vonleh - Leonard - Plumlee
    Montero - Connaughton - Alexander - purchased 2nd

    Whiteside? Fine. Have no issues with signing him, i just dont see it happening. Ill be impressed if it does.

    As far as biyombo. No thanks. Marc stein said his floor is gonna be 15 million a year and he isnt worth that.

    Id rather go after joakim noah on a team friendly contract if we strike out on the rest.

    Jimmy Butler is having problems with the Bulls because he wants to be featured more on offense. How is it going to be better with two ball dominant guards?

    He will actually be open, the Bulls weapons outside of Butler are pretty trash these days.
