Will Tim Hardaway take the money or the success?  With Miami signing Anthony Carter to a contract it looks like Tim's time in Florida is over, it is believed that Hardaway would now be a backup on the Miami squad.  But he would also be a backup on the Dallas squad too, playing behind Steve Nash.  On Chicago he would probably start, play more time, and act as a mentor to the young Jamal Crawford.  However, the Bulls are not in a position to contend immediately like the Mavs, and no not possess his old Warriors coach Don Nelson.  



The Chicago Daily Southtown is also reporting that the Bulls have been involved in rumors about a three way trade involving All-Star Gary Payton.  In the proposed deal the Heat would get Payton, while the Bulls would acquire off guard Eddie Jones from the Heat and send center Brad Miller and either small forward Ron Artest or off guard Ron Mercer to the SuperSonics.
