The Bulls' game-plan for the immediate future is coming into focus. League sources with knowledge of Chicago's plans say that they'll definitely be looking to deal Luol Deng before the Feb. 20 trading deadline. Deng is a free agent this summer and the Bulls don't want to pay him anything close to top dollar. The second part of their house-cleaning: They intend on using their amnesty move this coming summer to part ways with Carlos Boozer. Boozer is scheduled to make $16.8 million next season. As we reported earlier, Derrick Rose has caught wind of the plans and is none too thrilled about being part of a rebuilding project. Tom Thibodeau won't be very happy with it, either

AMNESTY someone 2 years too ****ing late.

Wasn't last summer the deadline for amnestying players?

Why would the Bulls do amnesty Boozer? He only has one year left. They could trade Boozer and picks for Gasol and save their amnesty for another player.

Didn't Derrick Rose say he would be upset if they alter the roster while he's injured? When's Rose's contract up? This move is too late though, they've turned down many good offers for Deng in the past and now they will be making a move that won't even get them contending.

There is pretty much nothing credible here. These are just some justifiable predictions that supposedly have "league sources" cited to them.

Most of the media in this country is a joke to the standards of journalism.

Melo?

Let me guess, Boozer runs to Miami for minimum.

There is no use saving Amnesty provision for another player. the only 2 players left in the NBA that can be amnestied is Perkins and Boozer.

I believe Rondo can be amnestied, not that he will be

No I don't think he will, he should go back west, sign with the Thunder or Rockets

Rose asks for trade if this happens.

If he said that, than FCK WHAT HE SAYS.

He ain't the gotdamn GM. Get the fck on the court, and stop trying to run the team. This guy refuses to help recruit free agents, meanwhile he is busy never playing a game. He needs to stfu and get on the court and realize he is not the GM. He couldn't win alone, so stop trying to be a hero and request help.

Bynum and a small contract to the Bulls for Boozer.
The Bulls waive Bynum and save 6 million in salary and luxury tax as well.
The Cavs get a low post scorer in Boozer to help get the team back into the playoffs. Boozer return to Cleveland.
