I don't think they have that kind of space, not sure, Gordon and Salmons were 2 (potentially for Gordon) contracts that they longer have to shoulder.
Actually they look pretty good, sitting at about 32 million, which would put them in contention to get one of the big stars. The Knicks for comparison sakes sits at 18 million which iirc puts them in position to sign 2 max offers in the off season. So Chicago can potentially get a star and some role players as needed in this off season.
And Brian Cardinal makes 6.75 million this season, seriously what the fuck.

Where is this coming from? He's always solid all around when I see him play, he did well this postseason except for 3 pointers, and he costs 10.5 million vs hinrich's 9.5 million. And Hinrich is 29, deng is 25, the contract locks him up for him in his prime.
I'd rather have him than richard jefferson, or some 30+ year old small forwards on extended contracts who are in danger of being washed up in a few years. I mean if you get lebron you don't need him, but he'd be an upgrade for most teams.
He seriously just is not as great as people make him out to be. I'd rather keep Hinrich anyway because that dude plays with so much heart and is a warrior.
Deng is not. He isn't an impact player, he isn't a hustle player, he isn't a "lets win this game or else" kind of player except in once in a blue moments. He's a good shooter that unfortunately had some injury setbacks and one great season.

west finals would be blazers vs thunder east would be bucks vs celtics finals would be bucks vs blazers + Show Spoiler +
oh god lol my real predictions!! West = Lakers vs Spurs East = Orlando vs Cleveland Finals = Spurs vs Orlando Orlando wins
Denver facing elimination, first couple minutes of the game will tell a lot either the wheels fell off Denver or they coming out strong to rape at home!
Lol...man I don't think Bucks will be able to survive against the Magics considering if they win. I feel that Hawks would be a better match-up. I'm a Celtics fan and I have some doubts against them versing the Cavaliers.
