The Bulls are actually willing to pay over the luxury tax as long as they're winning. They're 11 million under the cap after this season. They could resign all their players and be right at the limit considering that Curry and Chandler will be BYC and only half their contracts will count towards the cap. So we could sign Othella and Duhon to longer deals. Same with 2006. We could resign the core guys, let go of Antonio and we'll have Eddie Robinson's contract off the books. That means we'll be able to resign Hinrich, Gordon and Deng and still have money for a star player.
I definately want to keep the core of Kirk, Ben, Luol, Eddy, and Tyson. It would be nice to keep noc and Duhon also.
