According to the Bulls mobile texts I get...Tyrus out 4-6 weeks due to fracturing his arm weightlifting. Surgery to come tomorrow

 

Definitely not what he wants in a contract year

Ah, f***, and there goes any trade value whatsoever. Gibson was moving into his position anyway, but I would have like to deal him for something.

Anyone have ESPN Insider? If you go on ESPN's main page under the headlines - it says Why LeBron may end up in Chicago. Can't find anything on the Net about it though

Yeah right, that wasnt even close to a foul. It was a correct call.

 

But that was LBJ...

There's a little bit about him ending up in Minnesota too, as quoted in this blog post. Of course, that will never happen, but it's fun to dream, right?

Imagine LBJ and Al Jefferson - WOAH

Imagining is about as far as everybody should go. Who the hell wants to play in Minnesota?

God I'm hating the Cavs more and more.

 

They complain that the refs didn't bend the rules for them on the last play even though the refs gave them calls all game when they shouldn't have.

 

This coupled with the LeBron leaving the court without shaking the Magics hand makes them one of the least classiest teams in the NBA.

I thought the Cavs became slimy when the rumors came out about Shaq sleeping with Gilbert Arenas' fiance/wife.

Not to mention ordering tapes to be burned from some unknown kid dunking in his face. LeBron is a joke.

Jonny Flynn seemed pretty pumped about it

 

But yeah, that's never going to happen. It certainly would make things interesting though. We've got the cap space and our team has some good building pieces. I'm pretty optimistic about the future for the Wolves, even without James. I really like what David Kahn has done with the team.

He wont, D Wade will though and we will destroy whatever team LeBron is on.

Why doesn't ESPN think that LeBron plays so well in NY cuz, well, he's playing the Knicks?

Boston and Denver lose their 1st game of the season tonight. The Celtics showed that they can be susceptible to good 3PT shooting teams.

 

We also finally beat Detroit, in a pretty subpar effort.

 

My god, I love Joakim Noah.

That was another ugly finish, but this team keeps winning. 4-2 is a solid start with 3-4 really tough games on there.

The 5 straight FT misses in the last minute plus almost killed them. Thankfully Charlotte couldn't do anything right themselves.

My god, I love Joakim Noah.

 

I wanted him on the Bulls the first time I saw him in College.

 

I do not regret wanting him.

My god, I love Joakim Noah.

He's incredibly impressive, isn't he? He's one of those guys who has the talk and the skills to back the talk up. He's going to be with us for a long time.

Not gonna lie, I hated it when we drafted him. But since that day he has become my favorite player on the team probably. I love Joakim.

I did too. Hell, i hated him in college. I thought he was a punk. He's grown since then, i never thought he be showing the potential that he is now.

i concur, i hated him in college too, was so mad when the Bulls drafted him, still dont like him, still think hes a punk. But I gotta say hes changed from just a tall athletic guy to an actual basketball player, and he still has room to get better

It seems like the Allen Iverson "Memphis Experiment" is just about over.

 

At this point in AI's life, if he cannot accept the roles he is being offered, then its time to hang it up. You would of thought that he would have realized over last summer that people arent banging down his door anymore for his services.

He is finally learning to play 48 minutes and to play intelligently. That has always been the big two strikes against him.

And he's in shape to start this season.

Hell of a long shot regardless.. but just to have everyone's pants creamed alittle.. From Vercey and the NY Post.

 

What's more, according to someone in the know, LeBron is viewing the Bulls as a wild card challenger; no other suitor need apply.

 

That explains why rising restricted free agent Tyrus Thomas, who suffered a forearm fracture in the weight room Friday that required surgery (out six weeks minimum), wasn't given an extension. Chicago definitely believes it has a shot at luring LeBron. As talented as Thomas is, the Bulls secured two excellent rookie forwards -- Brooklyn's Taj Jami Gibson and James Johnson -- in the draft and figure to have roughly $20 million in cap room in case LeBron feels the urge to replicate Air Jordan's Windy City flight plan.

 

As for the Knicks, guaranteed I could find 11 above-average NBA players who'd love to play for the veteran's minimum or thereabouts (one would command a maximum mid-level exception contract) for the opportunity to suit up alongside LeBron in New York in year one. When Curry and Jared Jeffries come off the cap the summer of 2011, the Knicks would then be able to recruit another certified stud or two and actually be in possession of their own first round draft pick.

 

To those who don't believe one word of the above or that LeBron would never leave his home state of Ohio, I say, hide and watch.
