WEST SIDE STORY Report #38....Reports out of Chicago BULLS let Center OMER ASIK walk to CLUTCH City....and the BULLS fill the rest of their ROSTER with I HAVE No IDEA and 2012-13 Salaries for SEE RED

Team See Red has decided not to match the 3 year $25 Million Deal from the Houston Rockets for JV Center Omer Asik reports NBA.com. That doesn't surprise me at all considering what the Bulls Cap looks like for 2012-13. They had little Space to really take on any more Salary and when your Cap is Full you would hope your going to make a Run at a Chip which has yet to be seen.

As for the Bulls Roster here is what they are reportedly going to add fort the 2012-13 Season as though we may be Lottery Bound:

SG Marco Belinelli Hornets 11.8 ppg 2011-12
C Nazr Mohammed Thunder JV Center in OKC

Stretch Forward Vlad Radmonovic Hawks 4.6 ppg 2011-12
Combo G Captain Kirk Hinrich Hawks 6.6 ppg 2011-12

Put those 4 Players in the Core Mix with these Players included 2012-13 Salaries:

PG Marquis Teague $857,000
SG Rip Hamilton $5,000,000
SF Luol Deng $13,326,700
PF Carlos Boozer $15,000,000
C Joakim Noah $11,050,000
SF/PF Taj Gibson $2,155,811
SF Jimmy Butler $1,097,520

PG Derrick Rose * $16,402,522

The Bulls will have to make Ends meet as they will be without the 2010-11 MVP for at least until after All-Star Break. Look for the Bulls maybe to resign John Lucas III at the League Minimum and play Captain Kirk a lot at the point.

They had to make a move on either Asik or Taj and after Luol and Joakim...Taj is #4 most important on Team See Red and there are NO Arguments.
