Richard Hamilton was part of various trade rumors earlier this season, but the Chicago Bulls denied the rumors. It is still quite likely that the Bulls will look to get under the luxury tax this season and Chris Sheridan pointed out why Hamilton would be an easy piece to move:
More on #Bulls trading Rip Hamilton to get under luxury tax: Next year only $1M guaranteed, and can be spread out $333K over 3 years.

Hamilton is still a very capable veteran that could contribute to a lot of teams. With the looming uncertainty of whether Derrick Rose will play this season, the Bulls could decide to move the 35-year-old veteran at the deadline.
