Bulls & Duhon

Bulls: "
Bulls general manager John Paxson's initial offer to Duhon was for three years in the $6 million range, but he said Monday he was 'highly likely' to match the Raptors' offer without divulging the terms.

Toronto GM Rob Babcock acknowledged the probability of Paxson matching the offer.

'If I had to guess, I'd guess they would probably match,' he told the Star. 'We understand there's a likelihood they'll match, but there's a little chance they might not. You have to be aggressive and see what happens.'
"

Hat's off to Babcock for trying. He's forcing Paxson to spend a significant portion of the mid-level exception salary on Duhon.
