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 »

Would you take on Joe Johnson's contract?

The Chicago Bulls needed more perimeter scoring. They needed more ball-handling. They needed more play making. Joe Johnson can provide these things... Read more »

Bulls rejected Omer and Brewer for Mayo at the deadline will talks be revisited?

I was talking to one of my Bulls sources the other day, and he told me that the Bulls were in talks for O.J. Mayo at the deadline.   K.C. Johnson had reported that the Bulls offered up two firsts, and a second for Mayo. But according to multiple league sources, the Bulls aggressively pursued... Read more »

Bulls in the mix for Monta Ellis

Per Tim Kawakami: Warriors execs have apparently been told that Ellis would like to stay in the Bay Area, but that if they’re going to trade him, he’s looking to go to a contending team that might be a great scorer away from a title run. I’m told Chicago very much is at the top... Read more »

Dwight Howard says he's not signing an extension

Per the Orlando Sentinel: Dwight Howard on Thursday shot down an Orlando TV station’s report that he will sign a two-year contract extension with the Magi before the current collective bargaining agreement expires on July 1. “There’s no truth to that,” Howard told reporters in Birmingham, Ala., where he spent part of the day working...

The Bulls need to strike on draft day

With the lockout looming and uncertainty of what new rules will apply to the NBA after the lockout is resolved.   Front offices will likely take different tacks in how aggressive they want to be under their last chance to use the old rules. The Bulls should be among the most aggressive in terms of trying... Read more »

Bulls and Pistons part two, go get Charlie Villanueva

I wrote yesterday about how the Bulls could potentially take on some extra salary in a deal that improves their team considerably.   The Bulls are close enough to a title at this point that they should actively be looking to add large amounts of salary that also adds talent in an effort to improve...

Don't throw out that Ben Gordon jersey

So the Detroit Pistons are looking to dump Richard Hamilton and are rumored  considering dumping the 8th overall pick to save 20 million or so in cash.   The Bulls don’t have a trade exception to save all that money for Detroit, so they can’t get in on that deal. However, they might be able to... Read more »

Of course, we'd all love Dwight Howard, but...

Much like Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and virtually any other superstar who ever switched teams or thought about switching teams, Chicago Bulls fans are now dreaming about Dwight Howard. Much like the previously listed stars, there’s a good chance that Dwight Howard leaves his team... Read more »

Would you take Joe Johnson?

One of the things I rallied against in the off-season was the max contract to Boozer/Amare + max contract to Joe Johnson off-season.  It completely cripple your salary for years, and you’d probably not have a shot at winning a title. Well Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah have stepped up a lot more than I... Read more »
