    His contract with the Bulls will be 30M for 5 years.

    I don't know how you all feel about this, but this money is ridiculous. Granted, he could very well be what Mario Elie was to the Rockets, but damn, 30 mil is just WAY too much for a role player off the bench.

    Chicago is the ONLY place he could get that money from...they are desperate to attract FAs and have money to burn. No team in there right mind should play a guy that has never consistantly started throughout a season, or at least been a great backup for years, anywhere over a 4.5 exception. This also goes for players that have one great preseason game under their belts.

    I'm curious... do you guys remember the terms to Cuttino Mobley's contract last summer? I forget the terms, but I do believe it was A LOT cheaper than Robinson's.
