That'll be the Bulls target. They tried to get him a few years ago.

I wouldn’t mind Gallo or Thadgic

Agreed, plus Billy has a relationship with him. He’ll at least give us size and shooting.

I vote for Joe Harris, KC already mentioned him as well.Solid player who can shoot and could really help the bulls off the bench. Hasn’t done much this season in Detroit but didn’t really play much for them.If they don’t get Joe then Gallinari should be option 2.

Then they should consider getting Thaddeus Young as well. Could be a good 3rd string option to have for the Center and PF positions. We all know what he can do even though he’s now 35, for a limited role he would help. Besides he liked it in Chicago I’m sure if AK shows interest he would come back.

the buyout market looks interesting. AK should definitely sign 1 or 2 if possible. Somebody probably going to get waived, maybe Drell?

Drell is on a 2-way, he doesn't take up a roster spot.

The Bulls have 1 roster spot available currently.

How about that Lonzo Ball exception? I dont remember what that was but AK applied for it, got it and hasn’t used it since September.

I believe that could be used to sign an extra FA for the season(could be wrong) but obviously the money needs to stay below the tax because god forbid Jerry ever pays the tax.

Waiving two-way contract guys doesn't free up any roster spots or cap space.

Ideally we'd pick up Joe Harris and one of Thad or Gallo. With luxury tax implications being what they are, we'll probably get no one.

They can use the exception, sure. But they don't want to go over the tax line which I think they're like 1.7m under I think (I could be wrong) but that exception doesn't open up a roster spot either.

AK should have at least trading Terry Taylor to a team with capspace and then he'd have 2 roster spots plus a bit more room under the tax line to play with.

I think the FO is determined to get at least one, however that works cap wise. The Joe Harris interest I think is legit, and this is in line with AK's MO the last 2 years (Tristan Thompson, Pat Bev).

Can we waive Taylor and make 1 more space available? I honestly don't see the point of keeping Taylor long term.

He’s signed to a guaranteed two year deal.

They can, but then they can't sign 2 and remain under the tax line, which is obviously a goal to them.

24-25 salary guaranteed on 7/7/24 per Spotrac

[Andi Obst]

Yeah, Terry Taylor's deal is non-guaranteed for next season. However, it became fully guaranteed for this season in January. For some reason, the Bulls decided to hold on to him.

Don't think you can waive Taylor, add 2 players and avoid the tax.

[HomoSapien]

Whoops, I stand corrected. Glad it’s not guaranteed next year.

[Dez]

People complaining about not enough size then wanting to add Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie, makes sense.

Gallo should be the target.

Joe hustles and I'd rather see him shoot open shots than Dalen Terry.

I'd be happy with any capable vet bumping Terry and Phillips out of the rotation.
