Richard Hamilton

Ideally, Chicago is able to acquire Jamal Crawford...  It can only help Boston.

Alex Kennedy: Crawford wants to land in Chicago. If the Bulls can't trade for him, he'll likely sign with the Pacers, Hornets, Nets or Timberwolves. Twitter

Alex Kennedy: The Chicago Bulls remain very interested in Jamal Crawford. They've been in touch with him today and are still looking into sign-and- trade. Twitter

The Pistons reportedly will waive Rip Hamilton. / KIRTHMON F. DOZIER/DFP Hamilton is owed $22 million over the next two seasons. He was set to make $13 million this season before the lockout and $9 million next season. Detroit Free Press

Adrian Wojnarowski: The Bulls and Rip Hamilton have long been an inevitable pairing. Boston will reach out, too. Twitter

Adrian Wojnarowski: For Rip Hamilton, Pistons buyout costs him money over Detroit using amnesty on deal. Yet this allows him to pick his next team more easily. Twitter

Yeah, Chicago will definitely be his first choice after that I'm thinking Dallas over us though.

Rip would be a very good fit.

The Detroit Pistons have officially re-signed Tayshaun Prince, the team announced in a press release.

So it looks like Rip was merely waived, as opposed to amnestied, so he can now choose his next team.  Under amnesty, a amnestied player is first offered to all teams  under the salary cap line, and the highest bidder gets the player. 

Hamilton is a true FA now.  Hopefully his association with ray Allen will be a lure to bring him (along with his annoying ability to draw FTs by reacting to contact when running around picks like he was shot by a bazooka).

bulls are going to sign crawford...if i am danny i go full go after rip...exactly what this team needs behind ray allen...would be perfect here

[Who]

I wonder if New York will go in for Rip ... I am thinking

PG - Baron Davis, JJ Barea
SG - Rip Hamilton, Landry Fields
SF - Carmelo Anthony,
PF - Amare Stoudemire, Jared Jeffries, Shawne Williams
C  - Tyson Chandler

[diconzo]

We could go after Rip with the Mini-MLE though, then Pryz with the min. I like that roster

Crawford to Chicago and Carter to Dallas might change that.

yep...looks like boston just might be the best place for rip

[jc3celticsphan]

knicks can offer him full MLE and a starting spot

[diconzo]

Rip is going to want to play with a veteran team. Not people who he watched go into the league when he had already won a championship. Boston is a strong possibility for Rip. He's been competing against Paul, Ray, KG and JO for years. He might just want to sign here.

[jc3celticsphan]

i hope our vets reach out to him like they have done in the past. kg ray n pp pay him a visit

Well, so much for that idea.

KC Johnson: Nothing done yet and some hurdles remain but #Bulls in stongly on Rip Hamilton talks. Twitter

KC Johnson: One source called #Bulls "the leaders" to land Rip. DRose would be on board: "He's got a championship. It's great. He knows how to win." Twitter
