On the one hand, Wednesday’s six-player trade sending Drew Gooden, Andres Nocioni, Cedric Simmons and Michael Ruffin to Sacramento for center Brad Miller and swingman John Salmons feels like unfinished business.
After all, the Bulls’ roster stands at just 12 players and Larry Hughes basically has been de-activated and didn’t attend Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.
On the other, a source close to Kirk Hinrich said the Bulls rejected a salary-dump proposal from Minnesota that would have netted them the expiring contract of Jason Collins and one more season of Brian Cardinal.
