Most likely just the MLE ($5 million per year), and BiAnnual Exception ($2 million per). If we cut everyone cuttable except Withey we would have about $6.5 million in cap space and the $2.7 million cap room exception. Not enough to go after any big names without making trades that clear cap space.

Yahoo Sources: Chicago's pursuing a trade for Orlando's Arron Afflalo, who is very available. LINK

NBA peeps are worried about the Bulls right now. A starting 5 of Rose, Afflalo, Carmelo, Taj + Noah w/ Butler as 6th man is VERY doable.

Would the Lakers send Nash for Gordon? Nash wouldn't even have to move to Nola, we could just pay him his $9 mil and tell him thanks for saving us $21 million. Enjoy LA and Canada.

Little late here, but I could actually see that happening.

The Okafor/Ariza for Rashard Lewis trade comes to mind as somewhat of a precedence for this. Dell taking back a short term cap hit to alleviate long-term space... I wouldn't hate it at all.
