lol throw a couple more ads on there...



Kirk Hinrich's contract with the Bulls is reportedly for two years and approximately $8 million.

Marco Belinelli will receive a two-year contract worth the biannual exception.
The second year on Belinelli's contract will be a team option. He was in Chicago for a physical on Monday, so it shouldn't be too much longer before his deal becomes official. The Bulls will now be hard capped at $74.3 million because the team used a portion of the $5 million midlevel exception on Kirk Hinrich and the biannual exception for Belinelli. It's not inconceivable that Belinelli could overtake Rip Hamilton for the starting gig at some point, but he should see solid time at shooting guard regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.

AK47 will reportedly return to the NBA next season.
CSKA president Andrey Vatutin told Russian paper Sport-Express that AK-47 will be heading back to the NBA. It's not clear where Kirilenko is planning to sign, but he is not interested in playing for the Nets for the veteran's minimum salary.

The Knicks have signed Ronnie Brewer to a one-year contract.
He'll be a solid fit on the wing, and there is a good chance he sees solid playing time while Iman Shumpert continues to recover.

The Bulls, as expected, have decided not to match the Rockets offer sheet for restricted FA Omer Asik.
"We have decided not to match Houston’s offer sheet for restricted free agent Omer Asik," Bulls general manager Gar Forman said. "It was a difficult decision because Omer did a nice job for us. Matching the offer for Omer could have put us in a difficult position going forward in trying to acquire high level talent."

You guys will love this last one:
The Magic have "focused on persuading Howard to remain in Orlando," sources tell Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld.
lol here we go again. When it finally looked like we may have some movement in the Dwightmare saga, ESPN reported that the Magic could be planning to hold onto Howard for the foreseeable future. Now, GM Rob Hennigan will travel to Los Angeles this week to "meet face-to-face with Howard and deliver a presentation designed to persuade Howard to return to the Magic." This could all simply be posturing by Orlando to get a better deal, but it now sounds like we're now back to exactly where we have been all along on the Dwight Howard trade front: stuck in neutral.
