The Bulls send Josh Powell, and Salim Stoudamire in exchange for nothing. DEAL WORKS as both of them are minimum contracts.
Then...
The Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, and Atlanta Hawks have agreed upon a trade.
The Bulls send Leandro Barbosa ($6,600,000), and the rights to Victor Claver in exchange for Mike Bibby ($6,217,617), and Randolph Morris ($855,189).
TOTAL OUTGOING: $6,600,000
TOTAL INCOMING: $7,072,806
Deal Obviously Works!
The Magic send Brandon Rush (1,934,160), and Brad Miller (12,250,000) in exchange for Joe Smith ($825,497), rights to Victor Claver, Leandro Barbosa ($6,600,000), and Marvin Williams ($7,500,000).
TOTAL OUTGOING: $14,184,160
TOTAL INCOMING: $14,925,497
Deal Obviously Works!
The Hawks send Marvin Williams (3,7500,00 - BYC), Mike Bibby ($6,217,617), Joe Smith ($825,497), and Randolph Morris ($855,189) in exchange for Brad Miller (12,250,000), and Brandon Rush (1,934,160).
TOTAL OUTGOING: $11,648,303 X 1.25 = $14,660,378
TOTAL INCOMING: $14,184,160 << $14,660,378
Deal Obviously Works!
The Bulls accept, we're sad to lose Barbosa, but in Bibby, we feel we get a better fit, one whom is more a natural PG, and a very good shooter from distance. We also shave roughly 1-2M of payroll for next season, as Bibby's contract reduces, giving us more flexibility to make moves in the future. Claver's potential will be missed, but he was never apart of our future plans with his caphold.
Didn't know about Marvin's BYC status, but okay. Bibby is now the 2nd PG where he doesn't deserve to be, so we're doing him a favor. Rush bolsters our swingman rotation and Brad Miller gives us a veteran presence inside.
