Rip Hamilton waived

[Sketch5]

Man if we got RIP imagine how tired Wade is going to be chasing him and Aleen around all the time! It kinda takes Wade out of the picture because his legs will be gone trying to play defense!

 Come on Chicago make that trade for Crawford!!!!

i'd love to see rip in green ut i dont think it'll happen. the 2/3 seems kinda crowded now with green/daniels back. maybe they trade green? doubt it. but it would be nice.

Crowded? Really? I don't think so. You need a better player to back up Ray Allen. Daniels is nice and all, but at this point he's more fitting to be a third-stringer.

I know he wants to play for a good team but didn't they just sign crawford to be there two guard. I feel like we could offer him much more time behind an aging ray allen

He could start with Crawford coming off the bench in a 6th man kinda role..a combo guard. He can be for the Bulls what Jason Terry was for Dallas last year.

EDIT: Have the Bulls signed Crawford yet?

Maybe we should promise him the starting role? If I remember right I think Ray said he would be willing to come off of the bench. They are both very similiar players and Ray often times would stay in with the second unit anyways. Anything to keep him off of the Bulls.

na, the bulls havent signed crawford yet...I would target him or jason Richardson. we need more 3 point shooting on the bench

I'm surprised chicago is so keen on hamilton at this time. He strikes me as someone who really needs to be set up to be effective on offense, which is not Rose's best strength, and he's kind of a 1 trick guy.

If I were Chicago I'd much rather go fully after Jason Richardson. 3 years younger, better athlete, brings more to the table, and better outside shooter. He'd be better suited to a Rose-centric offense i think.

ya, this will probably not really work for the bulls as much as they hope just like the Carlos Boozer trade...Rose is a scorer, and he need someone who can create their own shot next to him.

theres no other way to really explain Boozer's lack of effectiveness other than Deron Williams is a much better passer and can run the pick and roll effectively..

I'm not sure why I thought crawford went to the bulls. He would be a prefect gunner off the bench for us, however I don't think he's signing for 3 mm

Hamilton was reportedly bought out for $8 million, resulting in a savings of $11 million.

If we can't get Rip there's still J-Rich and DWest on the market and I'd be happy with either one of them.
