What about a three-team trade that sends RJ to NJ, Luol Deng to the Spurs and opens up even more cap space for the Bulls?
Since we have RJ's Bird Rights, we can resign him to whatever and still have the full MLE and LLE, correct?

Unfortunately, you're right. If history has taught us anything, it's that there will always be a GM that will throw stupid money at a FA who doesn't warrant it. It only takes one GM to overpay a player. I just hope it'll be a team with cap space that we can sign-and-trade RJ to for a big trade exception, if that's the case.

That'd be great!
Really? Eric, you're better than arguments like this. Just sayin...
ooh...Deng wouldn't be bad...I think..lol. Would he work in this system?What about a three-team trade that sends RJ to NJ, Luol Deng to the Spurs and opens up even more cap space for the Bulls?
RJ opting out doesn't change the fact that the Spurs will still only have one MLE (that will get used on Splitter) and one BAE. If RJ walks, the Spurs have no way to replace him.
Yes. And I thought the Spurs could sign Splitter to a deal up to the average player salary (MLE level) without using the MLE.

Even though Luol Deng makes Willie Anderson look like AC Green health wise, I'd do that trade sure.
He does have a better jumper with better defense, only problem is he tends to get injured a bit, something we didn't really have to worry about with RJ, but also when RJ was healthy he wasnt really a plus.
Neither can I. I've tried to post here from my iPhone before. For whatever reason, can't do it.
I thought they had to use the MLE itsself...
That's how I understand it.
it'd be cool if i could post using my phone.too bad I can't.
This is good news for the Spurs. Definitely keeps them out of luxury tax territory. RJ did not have that much trade value to get anything significant in return. I really think he's going to be disappointed to see his true market value.
The Spurs are in a great position. There are plenty of options. My personal choice is Matt Barnes. He's a tough defender, battle tested, very rugged, and won't back down to anybody. He's fearless and not afraid to take big shots. Good 3 pt shooter and good passer. On top of that, he can probably be had for the LLE.
Apologies, but when statements are made like "Everythings great cause now we can go sign someone else" without even knowing the situation first its annoying.
True...RJ has never had an injury problem...something the Spurs aren't used to...but Deng is a MUCH better defender. I'm starting to think we're either going to sign him to a smaller deal, or we let him know about a S&T that we're planning on. Only way he would drop 15 mill...
Unreal.
I did about 90% of my postings from last season from my iPhone.
Spurstalk works perfect for me under the mobile skin set up.
I'm a little more excited about seeing how things are going to turn out. I know the Spurs may have been put in a horrible situation, but now I can't wait to see how everything plays out.
Exactly. This opens up all sort trade possiblities - for players or trade exemptions to use later. Very promising. It makes the Spurs players over the next few weeks. Before this we just has Splitter to look forward to. Now anything can happenWhat about a three-team trade that sends RJ to NJ, Luol Deng to the Spurs and opens up even more cap space for the Bulls?
I'm a bit excited too now because this will basically force the Spurs to make some changes.
12:01 AM has just gotten a little more interesting...
Not as far-fetched as one would think.What about a three-team trade that sends RJ to NJ, Luol Deng to the Spurs and opens up even more cap space for the Bulls?
I read somewhere on ESPN.com today that the Bulls still need to clear up a bit more cap room to accomplish their goals for the summer. Of all the minor contracts they could move to accomplish this, the one contract they COULD or SHOULD move is Deng's.
As fragile as he's been over the past couple of seasons, he's still a very good player. I'd do this trade.
