The Chicago Bulls have several big men leaving the team this summer.
PJ Brown, who is turning 38, will see his big contract expire, and the Bulls have no intention of re-signing him; he's stated he'll test free agency.
Tyrus Thomas, the 4th pick of the '06 draft, acquired in exchange for Aldridge, averaged just 5 points and 3 rebounds in his rookie year. The Bulls gave him a chance, but he flopped completely, and by the mid-season he had been cast aside.
From the '03 class, Michael Sweetney, who is a stocky power forward with weight issues, was traded for Eddie Curry. He's undisciplined and overweight; likely, he won't be offered a new contract.
The only capable big men left on the Bulls were the veteran Ben Wallace and the 29-year-old backup big Malik Allen—a good destination for someone.
Besides the open positions, they also have two excellent pass-first point guards in Hinrich and Chris Duhon, and Luol Deng and Ben Gordon aren't bad in that department either.
