I would think getting Lou, would end the chase of Flynn. Unless as many of you speculate a trade is coming or he's willing to play for the Vets min.

Decent 3 pt shot from the few Knicks games I saw. I think he is out of the picture with the Lou signing.

So what do we do about size at the 2 and 3, or is that on hold until DH is moved?

I think we wait until D12 is solved. If we get him by some miracle, we could instantly become the #1 destination for a FA SF. They would be a starter and have a chance at a ring.

The next couple of offseasons are pretty weak for small forwards, other than Iguodala but he'll likely pick up his $16M player option. That's another reason why I suggested starting Josh there if Dwight comes. Otherwise, they'll have to acquire a legit SF via trade.

Or draft a SF, assuming we have a pick.

[Bravo95]

Unlikely because the Hawks will have to give up multiple picks, so we can't hope to accomplish anything by the drafting if they trade for Dwight. Next year's class has a few solid SF... Poythress, McAdoo, Leslie, maybe Otto Porter and Doug McDermott could end up in the first round also.

Also:

The NBA has announced that the salary cap for the 2012-13 season is $58.044M.

The luxury tax level is set at $70.307M. The cap is the same as it was for the 2011-12 season.

Just saw this as well.

Korver has a $5 million option for next season which isn’t fully guaranteed. The team has until Sunday to make a decision and hasn’t ruled out a return. But according to the Chicago Sun Times, league sources say all signs point toward the Bulls pursuing trade opportunities for Korver. One team who reportedly has interest is the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks have been extremely active since the end of the season, hiring Danny Ferry as their president of basketball operations and general manager, trading six-time All-Star Joe Johnson and longtime starting small forward Marvin Williams in separate deals and agreeing to terms with valuable reserve guard Lou Williams in free agency.

All these 3 point shooters make me think about the Magic's Finals run a few years ago. All we need is...

I still think we wait until Howard is traded. We have a $5.7M trade exception we could use to get Korver (or another SF) if needed. Maybe Stevenson for Korver straight up? Bulls save money and get a much needed guard.

[*Silver&Black*]

Teague or Harris
Lou Williams/Anthony Morrow/John Jenkins
Kyle Korver
Josh Smith
Dwight Howard

Don't know what or who we would trade for Korver though. I don't like the idea of him starting either.
