15th Roster spot 

Post#1 » by terry » Tue Apr 14, 2015 7:09 pm

Ok, so I realize fully it doesn't really matter because the 15th player will not play anyway and will be nothing but a cheerleader next to Bairstow on the bench... but are they not going to fill the last spot before the playoffs?

I'm surprised they haven't picked up anyone because historically the Bulls always fill the lineup for extra "emergency" bodies before the playoffs, usually 1 to 2 games before the regular season ends. Last year it was Brewer and Amundson.

I was fully expecting the Bulls to sign a Ronnie Brewer, Salmons or a center "just in case" for the playoffs. I guess we probably don't need it? Has anyone heard anything?

McDermott Bairstow and Moore already don't play; Reinsdorf probably wants to save the Camry worth of salary a 15th player would cost. :roll:

Would have been nice to have a minimum salary player to trade potentially this summer.

The Bulls don't want to go any higher over the cap and it's a wasted roster space (the number's at $63M and the Bulls are currently at $67M). It was a huge reason the Bulls didn't sign anyone, even to a 10-day, when Rose went down.
