Chicago Bulls 2009-10 Thread

Tyrus Thomas was sent home today with "flu-like" symptoms.

So while the guy the Bulls traded for Thomas, LaMarcus Aldridge, gets an extension, Thomas gets the blue flu and sent home. I doubt Thomas is a Bull in 2010-11.

Needed a major comeback to beat a Redd-less Bucks in Chicago? I missed most of the 1st half so I don't know what the deal was, but that ain't good.

How about Deng? My naive view is he is playing pretty well, good game vs Miami and again tonight.

Ah hell now it's a 1 point game. Rose just threw it away.

,,,

good D, now Earth Ball Boy has to make a couple of free throwsWh to put it away.

Nope. Misses the 1st. Dickhead.

Misses both. Asswipe.

What a horrible shot by the Bucks. What the hell?

1.8 left.

Game over.

Win is a win I guess.

Here in Chicago, even wins feel like losses.

A 20-20 night for Deng. Welcome back, Luol.

Just keep telling yourself that this team is young (not really) and a work in progress (not sure which direction).

That was some monumentally bad basketball in the first half.

From ESPN Rumors:

If things don't work out for LeBron James in Cleveland this year and he decides he wants to surround himself with more talent, the Bulls, out of the teams that will have cap space to sign him, might be the most attractive spot for James.

"For instance, it bears mentioning that joining the Chicago squad LeBron's team lost to Thursday night would be dramatically different," ESPN's John Hollinger writes today. "With a young star point guard, quality big men and lots of secondary help, the Bulls -- who could get as much as $20 million under the cap if John Salmons opts out of his contract, conveniently opening a spot in the lineup for LeBron at the same time -- would offer a more clear opportunity for long-term success."

If this becomes James' line of thinking -- which, of course, no one is sure on at this point -- the Clippers, with Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin being a strong corp and having cap room, and Heat -- if Dwyane Wade stays and recruits talent -- are two other strong options for James. Hollinger notes Minnesota has the talent and cap room that could attract James as well.
