If you don't watch Bulls telecasts, this means nothing. If you do, you not only read the words but you read the words with the proper tone and inflexion.

Stacey King is awesome.

Hard to figure this team out. They lose at home to the Nets. They blow a 35 pt lead at home to the Kings. Then they beat the Rockets and Spurs on the road.

Does the Bulls' trade for Devin Brown presage a trade of Kirk Hinrich? Or maybe Brown will take the place of Jannero Pargo?

Hopefully Tyrus Thomas is traded. Nothing against TT, but the Bulls can get the same offensive production from Taj "Mahal" Gibson. If they can get something of value for Thomas, they should pull the trigger.

All of these are to make room for Stoudamire or Bosh or Lebron...

I think it paves the way for a Kirk deal. If we got his money off the books, we'd be in great shape to hand out two max deals if whoever we got for him was either one of those max deals or an expiring contract.

Then again, it's GarPax so it could just be an afterthought deal. I can never tell.

Another road win against a decent team.

The Bulls have been pretty good since Tyrus came back. It defies logic.

Hopefully a dumb gm or two notices the same correlative coincidence.

Yeah, I think you hit it right on. D Rose has been a real monster lately. His game seems to have added several dimensions. Noah has been even better. Deng has been great defensively, and pretty consistent on offense. Throw in Taj Mahal Gibson progressing up a steep learning curve and you have the makings of a solid starting 5.

I don't know much about Devin Brown, but it shocks me that the Bulls were able to land him for Aaron Gray. By all indications he's a big guard and good defender who can hit the 3. that's a really nice player for this team to add, especially for nothing.

Pretty amazing finish last night in a game the Hornets gave away at the very end. Deng was a monster last night.

I'm reading a lot of buzz latley about the Bulls possibly trading Hinrich and another player or players to Boston for Ray Allen. If that deal's available, Forman should be falling all over himself to get it done. It would make them better this season and clear more cap room for free agency.
