Free Agency: Chicago Bulls about to possibly offer Nate Robinson the MMLE and Marco Belinelli a 20% Raise or the MMLE? (Read More)

Chicago Bulls willing to pay more luxury tax to re-sign Marco Belinelli. Problem is they'll only offer a 1 year deal. Chicago Bulls could offer Marco Belinelli a 1 year, $2.35m (Raise) or $3.18m (MMLE) in free agency assuming Sam Smith comments are valid.

He believes they could re-sign Nate Robinson but no room will be available for Belinelli who'll be let go. Believes they'll play a bench backcourt of Robinson, Hinrich, and a Shooter.

Now believes the Bulls could use "some" of the MMLE.
Our predictions are this. We think the Bulls offer Nate Robinson a 1 year/$3.18m deal and Marco Belinelli a 20% raise so he'd earn 1yr/$2.35m. If Nate Robinson doesn't accept the deal, they could bump up the price and offer Belinelli a 1 year/$3.18m. One of them is likely to take the better deal possibly both. This is what we expect to happen.
Now the understanding here is Bulls Beatwriters believe a team will offer them a 3 or 4 year deal and they'll take the long term guarantee rather than a short term deal by the Bulls.
I bet Nate comes back but we lose Pasta.
oh i like these rumors. definitely hope Nate comes back. would prefer it was two years but we all know they want that 2014 cap room.
