QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 01:22 PM) I hope they enjoy the "not playing for money" version of John Salmons. He'll help them, but 5/39? Good luck with that. The NBA just continues on with bad contracts. And 20 million for Darko, wtf? How long must he prove he's just a tall guy that's not any good before people stop giving him gobs of cash? 5 millions a year for a 7 footer who can rebound, defend and block shots at the age of 25? It could be a LOT worse.

I would have felt the same way about Kap before May 12th.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) Yea, he'll be meeting with other teams. My question is, do we know he's actually meeting with the Bulls today? Cause the article on the trib site, from KC, says that the Bulls are working on scheduling a meeting with Bosh for TOMORROW. And that they are working on it. Didn't sound like it was a done deal, but maybe that article is old news? David Kaplan reporting that Bosh will be meeting with the Bulls at the UC today. Reinsdorf is also there.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) I'm not too familiar with NBA contracts, but can't the Bulls just back load Bosh's deal to make it fit within this year's cap? Doesn't work that way for max deals.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) That the Bulls had Jerome James on their roster until today? He was #31.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) Chris Bosh just landed in Chicago. KC Johnson reports the Bulls will be meeting with him.

KC Johnson reporting the meeting was actually just under 2 hours.

Oh my, Bucks reportedly close to re-signing Salmons for 5 yr, 39 million per David Aldridge.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) Hey, the TWolves signed Milicic last night. And Nikola Pekovic the day before. My new 2nd favorite team.

Now now ladies...

Wade is done with his meeting with the Bulls. It lasted 90 minutes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) Am I the only one who sees D-Wade as a VAST downgrade from LeBron? (not that i think anything will happen with Wade, jsut reading a few of the latest posts. Probably.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) The Bucks would be the favorites in the Central next year by a wide margin if LeBron went to, say, the Nets, and the Bulls struck out in free agency. Not likely, but you never know. No they wouldn't. They've added CDR and Gooden. The Bulls were a 5 seed in the East before Rose got banged up and Noah went down with the PF. Although this depends on what "strike out" means. They have to get SOMEONE.

Joe Johnson expected to re-sign with Atlanta for max deal. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Apt9...agentbuzz063010

Bulls currently meeting with Wade, Nets currently in Akron to present to Lebron.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) Nope, I'll stick with nose for the net. 6th on the team in the reg season with 44 points. The guy can fill it up and has great hands. And he was also probably the dumbest forward the team had. If I had a dollar for every fancy little move he tried to make before entering the zone that resulted in an offside...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:32 AM) That's great if the rumors were true about how much they were asking for, as well as Dunn's attitude about being the DH. There's much better fits out there. Such as?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:41 PM) Hypothetical: If trading Noah to the Raptors guaranteed you Bosh, yay or nay? Nay.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:22 PM) Sad to see Versteeg go, but I wasn't as attached to him as Buff. Hopefully he can help Kessel and others from the Leafs and at least he is gonna play in Canada. Good trade for both sides. I'm assuming this means the Hawks now are done pending on the RFA guys? Reports are that Ladd may go too. Up to 14 teams have inquired/are interested in him.

This is going to be 2000 all over again for the Bulls. I've been bracing myself for Johnson and Boozer, and even that might be doubtful.

So much added young talent this offseason with Morin, the Hayes brothers, Stalberg and Paradis.

Villa's celebration gave me the chills. I can't imagine the feeling of scoring a World Cup goal for your country. Absolute euphoria.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) It's not as if private jets don't exist and Wade couldn't travel from Chicago to Miami in 2 hours. Here's the thing. There was a couple reports that this happened MONDAY night, in which case it wouldn't matter where they were FRI-SUN.

Chad Ford on Twitter: My odds on landing LeBron: Bulls 40%, Cavs 25%, Heat 20%, Nets 10%, Knicks 4%, Clippers 1%
