Good to see he's going to at least try to get both of them back. I just hope that they each don't try to get upwards of that $50mil, cause it might be extremely difficult to retain both of them.
Their future starting lineup is already set except for C. PG - Kirk Hinrich SG - Ben Gordon SF - Luol Deng PF - Tyrus Thomas C - ? They are set at almost every position for the next 5 years. If they drafted Hawes, they would've been perennial contenders IMO.
I think Aaron Gray has the potential to be good. He was a solid 2nd round pick and I wouldn't doubt to see him get some big minutes this season. My only issue with him is he's not what we'd call quick. However, he does make up for that with a solid offensive game and some good low post play.
