Check my Stats Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Bulls management has told John Salmons to remain at team hotel as it works to finalize a trade. As per RealGM. Seems like Kirk will remain a Bull then if they are managing to dump Salmons for expirings. I think his salary is all they needed to get rid of.

Owner Real Deal Posted February 18, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Probably San Antonio. I know they were rushing to bring in Tyrus, but asking about another player as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Source says Salmons not going to "any of the Texas teams," for what it's worth. Still evolving, obviously. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 two sources say Bulls and Bucks may be closing in on deal sending Salmons to MKE for Kurt Thomas, Francisco Elson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 18, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 It's official. The Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a deal in principle that will send John Salmons to the Bucks for the expiring contracts of Kurt Thomas and Francisco Elson, sources said on Wednesday. The deal allows the Bulls to clear Salmons $5.8 million salary off the books for next season. That puts them roughly $20 million under the cap next summer as the Bulls make a push to sign free agents like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The deal gives the Bucks a shooting guard to replace the injured Michael Redd. The Bulls held Salmons out of Wednesday's game at New York in anticipation of a trade.http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/news/story?id=4922618 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Nice job by Bulls, they accomplished what they wanted and should walk out of FA next year with either Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh. Would love to see them get Wade though, would be a pretty amazing core, but Bosh or Joe would be good pickups too. Nice work by Bulls management getting someone to take Salmons though.

Guest California Dreamin' Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I don't think Hinrich is coming to LA. I was told they only wanted to trade Salmons or Hinrich. I think they keep Hinrich and play him at SG for the rest of the year. They should trade Hinrich for expiring contracts to have the chance to offer two max deals. PG. RoseSG. Wade/JohnsonSF. DengPF. Bosh/AmareC. Noah The best team in the East with a good head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 In addition, Chicago traded the Bulls’ regular second round draft choices in 2011 and 2012. Also, Milwaukee has the option in NBA Draft 2010 of switching first round picks with Chicago, so long as Chicago’s first round pick is not a top 10 selection.

Jenneral Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Please please please give Alexander someplaying time!Trust me... you don't want that. He wasn't even able to put up "good" number in the D-League, what makes you think he can in the NBA? He's a bust. I like this trade on our end though. Alexander was nothing to us. So we essentially traded Warrick for Salmons and a possibility to move up in the draft. I believe we have Salmons for another year after this year. That allows us to sit Redd as we try to rebuild around Jennings and Bogut. I'd like to see us get some SF/PF talent now in the draft and free agency.
