    Besides the Bulls?

    The Reason I ask is that there will be alot of twisting and Gyrating . . .releasing players and stuff.

    I wonder who is in the DUNCAN LOTTERY II
    or GRANT HILL LOTTO.

    What teams will have Options? Competition will determine what we can do next year.

    And I have a hunch that Orlando will win the TD Lotto II. GH stays home. The Bulls? They walk away empty handed and overpay to have someone else come play.

    That's a good question. As usual, a lot of players are going to go on the market looking for a rich FA contract to find there isn't much free money around, I'd think. Chicago and Orlando will have a lot of money and I think neither will get Hill and/or Duncan and will probably end up overpaying mediocre stars (Maurice Taylor, say). But does any other team have money to offer? Orlando and Chicago can't take everyone. Will most players be signing with their old teams for below their expected market value? Perhaps the only way some of these guys will be able to get the money they want is sign-and-trade.

    Exactly. I think there will be some steals out there. I think the rockets will work the middle more than the Duncan/Hill senarios. I think some Sign and Trades could be worked out. [Esp. if someone will take Walt. Even out of his slump his 5 mill a year bugs me] maybe we can get a few Diamonds in the Ruff.
