Wow.
Expect this to be the Bulls Target now.

Bulls should lock him up. He's better then what we have at SG right now.

No doubt this will be the Bulls Target.
The Bulls just wait for someone to make a move and then they target them. Like Rip last year, I have no doubt Lee will be our #1 target now.

I think he's been a little overrated in these parts. Not worth Asik for instance, but now that's irrelevant.
Certainly a decent choice for us as a FA.

Remember all those Asik for Lee trade rumors last February*? Looks like there's a chance that ends up happening in a completely different way.
* - February 2011 just so we're clear.

I'm very happy about this, just great news. Please say the Bulls at least attempt to sign him. Kind of funny Bulls wouldn't do Asik for Lee and now both are likely walking away.

Yes we have Rip but Paxson value all around play. Lee isn't going to give us the scoring we need but he can create at least a little bit. I'm not sure the MMLE can get it done but now I'm hearing we have the MLE. I could see them offer part of the MLE for Lee.

Let Asik go, get a decent contract with Lee. Then we can keep Taj too
That would be something I wanna see

Yes we get Asik and Lee. Morey ends up losing everything.
Great at making "steal" trades but horrible at everything else.

Didn't know a team could withdraw a qualifying offer? Have they always been allowed to do this? Did he not sign the qualifying offer or something?

Lee is pretty ordinary.

or do both?
Lee will be our starting 2. Rip off the bench.
Rose - Hinrich/Watson - Lucas III - Teague
Rip - Lee - Meeks/Anderson//Roy/Buford
Deng - Butler - Meeks/Anderson//Roy/Buford
Boozer- Gibson
Noah - Asik

I agree. H doesn't deserve the MLE but he will probably get it from some team.

Mayo is better by a long shot. F lee,but in the end we will go the cheaper route and settle for lee.

Plays defense, good at running the floor (D Rose needs this) and excellent 3pt shooter (D Rose needs this too).
He's no star, but he'd mesh well with what we do.
