HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Someone start the Omer Appreciation thread.

Someone also tell us if the Bulls are going to match so we can get Courtney Lee back in a trade or some ****. Yes, I know Lee is a FA too.

Are they able to trade Asik to Rockets if he signs offer sheet?

I believe that sign and trade is no longer on the table. Not legal. Its either match and keep him or let him go.

Hope the Bulls aren't stupid and match that, though I don't say that with much confidence. Wouldn't touch that deal with a 10 foot pole.

As a restricted free agent, the Bulls will have three days to match Asik offer sheet after it's signed on July 11th.

Should be back loaded for you guys with third year salary of 15 million.

You are not able to trade him anymore. Only match or decline to match.

Match him? Since it's 3 years instead of 4, we could use him as a massive expiring deal in that final year. Just a thought.

All Omer can do now is agree to a verbal contract, he can not sign until July 11th, from there the Bulls would have 3 days to match. The Good news on him agreeing so early is that the Bulls can work a S&T with the Rockets before he signs the offer sheet.

Now Jonathan Feigen is saying it's 4 years

I know they have 3 days to match but can they trade him between the july 11-14 date?

Thanks I remember that coming up and couldn't recall what they decided. In the old days, since Asik hasn't actually signed the offer yet, they'd have over a week to work out a trade.

Interesting.
