True cost of amnestying Carlos Boozer this year vs next year.

True cost of amnestying Carlos Boozer this year vs next year.
The Chicago Bulls appear set to continue on with Carlos Boozer this season, however, with the luxury tax looming, they'll also be looking to stay under that threshold. I've seen the phrase kicked around that the Bulls would never pay a player 47.1 million to go away, so I think it's worth some analysis on the true cost of amnestying Carlos Boozer now vs next season...

Bulls plow through Magic without Rose

Bulls plow through Magic without Rose
The Bulls notched two impressive feats with a victory last night. Chicago set the record for fewest points allowed while Tom Thibodeau became the fastest coach to 100 wins. I'm sure the partying is still going on today, or more than likely, they're simply thinking about the Raptors... Read more »

John Lucas does his Derrick Rose impression in Bulls win over Heat

John Lucas does his Derrick Rose impression in Bulls win over Heat
The best thing about the Bulls victory over the Heat is that there was no choke by Miami. There was no gaffe. There was no holding back. By the end of the game every trick they've tried on Derrick Rose was used on John Lucas; double team 40 feet from the basket, trap on the pick and roll, and even LeBron taking the assignment. The Heat couldn't stop John Lucas who played the best game of his life, and the Bulls went on to win... Read more »

Bulls resentful of Howard's dislike, turn to Gasol, Lakers not so interested

Bulls resentful of Howard's dislike, turn to Gasol, Lakers not so interested
As I [and most of the rest of the world] have reported for quite some time, Dwight Howard is not interested in joining the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls would like to make a deal for him but are unwilling to do so without assurances he'll stay past this season. Mark Stein says the Bulls are looking to swap Carlos Boozer for Pau Gasol as a consolation prize. Surprisingly [/sarcasm], the Lakers are not all that interested... Read more »

Bulls vs Pacers 7pm on WGN

Bulls vs Pacers 7pm on WGN
The Chicago Bulls crossed one revenge game off their last last night when they defeated the 76ers in Philadelphia, can they cross off a second by beating the Pacers in Chicago tonight? The Pacers have won their past six games after dropping five straight before that. Chicago is also riding a six game win streak. Whose streak comes to an end... Read more »

Bulls at Spurs 8pm on ESPN, the tests begin

The Chicago Bulls have a great record so far. They've also played a cream puff schedule. That won't hold the rest of the season, and the difficulty starts tonight with a trip to San Antonio... Read more »

Have the Bulls met mid term expectations?

Have the Bulls met mid term expectations?
The Bulls head into all-star weekend with a record of 27-8, third in the NBA behind Oklahoma City and Miami based on having one more loss. There have been plenty of reasons to be happy with the Bulls present positioning or disappointed with it so far. Despite a glowing record, the season itself has had plenty of ups and downs...

Bulls head into break on a high note behind Noah's triple double

Bulls head into break on a high note behind Noah's triple double
The Bulls big men romped all over the Milwaukee Bucks depleted front court. Carlos Boozer scored 20 on 9 of 12 shooting to lead the Bulls, why was he so efficient? Because Joakim Noah hit him for about five open dunks/layups on his way to a triple double... Read more »

Bulls vs Bucks 7pm on CSN

Bulls vs Bucks 7pm on CSN
The Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks face off in their last game before all-star weekend, their third meeting this season. The Bulls won the first two meetings fairly easily and should be heavy favorites yet again. Milwaukee has no inside presence to contain them, a bunch of selfish isolation scorers, and is even more dependent on Brandon Jennings than the Bulls are on Derrick Rose... Read more »

Does Rose want to play with Gasol?

Does Rose want to play with Gasol?
The initial report came out of Spain. I didn't even comment on the initial post because the idea of a Spanish newspaper [which might be close to Gasol, but not Rose] commenting on Rose's demands seems like completely made up garbage. Rose won't lobby for Dwight Howard, but he's going to lobby for Pau Gasol... Read more »
