July 22, 200916 yr So Steve Kyler came out with this a few hours ago in response to the Sam Smith idea that I posted yesterday; Bulls Really Not Interested: Yesterday we led with a 6-player trade rumors that was floated by Bulls.com's Sam Smith and the idea behind the story was clearly lost – that it wasn't going to happen. Sources from all sides of this deal were quick to confirm no interest in such a deal. The Bulls have been adamant with their players that the core they have now is the core coming to training camp and barring a landslide deal falling their way the roster now is the roster coming to camp in two months. The Rockets like most of their fans, found the rumored deal to be almost laughable, saying that's not the direction they were headed. The only teams that liked the "notion" of the deal was the Jazz, because it rid them of Carlos Boozer, but sources close to the situation continue to say Carlos Boozer's best destination at this point remains Miami – although a deal is not close. If Carlos Boozer is ultimately traded, which Jazz sources said is highly likely, it's not going to be through the Chicago Bulls, unless LeBron, Kobe or Dwight are dropped in their laps and that's simply not going to happen.

July 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Why?> Because they don't care nearly as much as the fans.
July 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Why?> Because John Paxson and Gar Forman are not very smart, but we knew that already. That's why.
July 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:56 AM) I cannot for the life of me fathom why some fools still think Tyrus is the man/going to be the man. They are the same poeple that would never dream of trading Deng.
July 22, 200916 yr tmz bought a tape of Lebron getting dunked on that Nike didn't know about when they took the other tapes. Still on their site, video will be shown at 5:45 central
July 22, 200916 yr This Bulls are one move away from being a top 4 team in the East. Just f***in' do it. Another season of frustrating nights awaits us boys.

Still on their site, video will be shown at 5:45 central I don't know why Nike/LeBron made such a big deal out of this in the 1st place. So what if he got dunked on? LeBron would absolutely destroy this Crawford kid if they were playing for real. If they had just let the videos come out, I don't think people would be making as big of a deal over it as now. Now everyone is going to know about it and want to see this video, even if it is from a camera phone.

Wasn't there a story that Artest was throwing around MJ at some point before he came back for the Wizards?
July 23, 200916 yr http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/another-site...-dunk-vid-25219 It's borderline getting "dunked on". IMO Crawford going for the dunk, Lebron came over late and didn't go for the block that strongly. James haters will love it none the less.

It once again makes him look like a poor sport.

July 23, 200916 yr Bosh laughs during an interview when he's asked about coming to the knicks, is forced to walk back/deny he was laughing at the team.

If I remember correctly they reported he basically bodyslammed him
July 26, 200916 yr Hmmm; Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Lamar Odom is "leaning strongly" toward signing with the Heat. The Lakers have reportedly lowered their initial offers, which Odom rejected, and he could be close to signing a five-year, $34 million deal with Miami. Dwyane Wade has been lobbying hard for Odom, and we shouldn't have to wait much longer for his decision.
July 26, 200916 yr QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 09:20 PM) Hmmm; They will so find a way to deal for Boozer if they sign Odom.
July 26, 200916 yr If they get Odom, Wade will stay. If they do, Bulls are going to be left out in the cold and end up with Joe Johnson at best.

July 26, 200916 yr If the Heat can find a legit SF for Beasley they will be absolutely set. Otherwise there's an overflowing mismatch of minutes between Odom, Beasley, Haslem, DQ Cook, James Jones, and Diawara. I wonder if the Wizards would be interested in trading Caron Butler for Michael Beasley and Udonis Haslem. Then the old Heat gang could be back together.
July 26, 200916 yr Wade LOVES being home fathom. I'm not sure what has lead you to believe otherwise.
July 27, 200916 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 12:47 AM) Wade LOVES being home fathom. I'm not sure what has lead you to believe otherwise. I've said it before...Wade's family is telling anyone that will listen that he will not be signing with Chicago this offseason. The Bulls don't want him and Rose in the backcourt together, and they have let him know that.
