Very interesting!
Did we give anything up, other than cap space?
How long is his contract?

Just sounds like cap space with the Bulls signing Wade.

Doubt we gave up much since it's a cap clearing move and we got tons of room to absorb a contract

We needed a backup PG.
Not bad!

Me too. Played 28mpg last year, should do well off the bench backing up D'Angelo.

A career 41% three-point shooter. Last year: shot 45.6% from the field. TS .571

Dude is still efficient. Plus he's expiring. We needed a vet PG. Deal makes a lot of sense, glad we're not just letting next year's max slot space go wasted.

Solid move. Brings Huertas' passing but with a 3-point shot. I wish Huertas well at whatever his next stop is.

Have to imagine we rescind Huertes's QO now.

Solid vet, doesn't play any D but he won't be getting major burn.

Any chance gaining an asset in this salary dump? Like Lakers send a 2nd and Bulls send a 1st.

How does that make you better than the Lin, Gallo, and Wil fans who root for them over NY?

Right. Expiring contract with 7.7 million salary due this year. 34 year old vet who averaged 7.6 points, 4 assists. Good pick up for us.

Huertas has been signed already and he'll be our 3rd PG :)

PG: Russell/Calderon/Huertas

I think our team is pretty much set, might be 1 more spot ??
