His contract alone should make him desirableNot sure though what the bulls are doing

If they can find a taker for him, they should do it. Especially if it means they will have a better chance at bringing in OJ Mayo.

I think the Bulls are planning for two years from now. They know they won't really compete next year with Rose not being fully 100% and missing much of next season. They seem to be trying to get rid of the players who gave them nothing on offense and are trying to bring in guys to help take the scoring load off Rose.

For sale, used over the hill face mask.

Is There A No Return Policy, Bros?

I hate the way the NBA does business these days, with expiring contracts, amnesty clauses, and **** like this.

Agreed...

Rose will be back later in the year but with Brooklyn, the Knicks and Boston making improvements, the Bulls will have a tough road to sled next season.

The Bulls really are squandering Rose's best years by making these crap moves.

1st - the Boozer deal is ridiculous for what he gives.
2nd - Rip Hamilton is not worth crap now.

They need a 2nd option with Rose badly...until that happens, they are going to be 2nd fiddle to Miami and maybe 3rd or 4th to the other improving East squads.

The Bulls are trying to make room for a SG who they can afford, O.J. Mayo. Having traded Korver they realize they need a true SG that can give them solid minutes. I don't see them resigning Asik unless they plan on amnestying Boozer next season.

Child please, Rip needs to be amnestied for real.

Ha RIP is basically done but he only has one more year guarenteed. I would try to trade him hopefully for a future draft pick and look to amnesty Boozer no one within reason is taking that on.

One year is left on his contract. Amnestying that contract is a waste of their ONE TIME ability to go this rought.

Although I rather see him get traded (even for draft choices), Boozer is a better candidate for amnesty.

OH.....that one year is for $5 million. Again......a poor choice for amnesty.

Depends on what his minimum bid would be.

Oh yeah......no one else wants Hamilton because they all see what I tried to tell you all at the beginning of the season......Hamilton is BROKE!!!

In the 3 season prior to this year, Hamilton missed 80 game......and then THIS season, he missed 38 more games! What the he11 were the Bulls thinking to make them believe he was a good signing???? He's broke and the smart money says he has no value.

The Bulls need to waive him.....eat the $5 mil and clear him off the salary cap!

OK.....rant over ;-) !

Just sayin'.

Yes, for a $1.00...

Maybe it goes without saying but he'd be welcome here in Charlotte. He can back up Ben Gordon..CHI can take Gerald Henderson who is not a bad player, just young.
