For nothing. http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/sto...ard-hamilton-ben-gordon-celtics-buying-danny- Chicago has toyed with trading Hamilton for a while now, because the team does not want to pay the new, very prohibitive luxury tax, not when it appears Derrick Rose probably won’t be back in time to be effective this year. The first choice for the Bulls would have been to swap Carlos Boozer for Andrea Bargnani, but the Toronto Raptors appear set to hang onto Bargnani, let him rebuild some value, then trade him in the offseason. Having failed to find a suitable Boozer deal, the Bulls are now looking to send Richard Hamilton somewhere, anywhere. Hamilton is still effective—he is averaging 10.7 points on 43.5 percent shooting—but he is 35 years old and is being paid $5 million this year. He can be had by any team that has the cap room or trade exceptions to absorb his contract, and the Bulls have gotten plenty of inquiries, most notably from the Houston Rockets.
If the Bulls find a way to get under the LT then this will cost the team some wins. I don't read any really interesting trade rumors. But we will see...perhaps we all get surprised...
Surely Jermaine O'Neal would put us over the top. Look out Heat! Seriously, though, given the handicaps that the team has placed on it, paying the LT for this group f players makes no sense.
