    I wouldn't be so sure, it could mean they've moved on becasue they know they can't get him with the weak sales pitch they went with.

    They never wanted to amnesty boozer though, would've rather traded him. This sounds like they are doing it to offer melo more money .

    There's no one in the world that would have traded for Boozer though, they were always going to have to amnesty him.

    But their owner is cheap, and did not want to amnesty Boozer.

    On the flip side, I don't think they actually tried to sign and trade for Melo

    I'm actually fine with missing out on Lowry and Melo.

    My end goal for some time now has been Love. The Bulls getting Melo gives us one less significant competitor. Actually, its probably down to just us and Boston.

    Why is everybody acting like this is huge news? The Bulls were always going to get rid of Boozer if they wanted to go after Melo.
