“The Bulls have the 17th overall pick in next week's NBA Draft and it appears to be available.
Chicago general manager Gar Forman told the team's web site that he'd consider trading the pick if the right situation arises.
Forman added that the Bulls have had some discussions about dealing the pick to create additional cap space, but that trading the selection by itself is "not significant enough" to make a deal. "It would have to be the pick with a combination of something else," Forman said”.
If they are looking for cap relief, would they be interested in the Memphis pick and one of our trade exceptions? James Johnson’s 2010-11 salary is 1.7m. We could use the 17th pick on someone like Whiteside, Sanders, Orton, or Hayward or package it with the 9th pick to move up.
