    Sure it does. If they want mega space for next year, they take on JPEC and get Rudy in a S&T of Lee. Insurance pays for joel, so they get Rudy...and 2011 space for their pick.

    Having Joel and then losing him doesn't give them any more cap space next summer than if they never have him at all. Cap space isn't reliant on who you've lost, just who you have.

    Bulls have to sign at least 12 players and pay the minimum salaries. An expiring contract is a good thing.

    We're talking about NY, not CHI. C'mon Denny, keep up.

    What's true for CHI is true for all the teams.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't know what they do, but Denny wonders why Luol Deng failed to get LeBron James and Dwyane Wade is a three way sign-and-trade...half of Deng going to Cleveland, half of Deng going to Miami. It's totally fair and makes sense for all teams involved.
