Almost as epic as Kirk Hinrich returning

 

I shed a tear when he took the court last night.

The recent "build up" to his return has been dramatic.

 

Bulls basketball wasn't the same this year without him.

 

With 1.7%, he fell into our hands in 2008.

 

His ascend to the MVP two years ago was the best story happened to Chicago sports since WS WS.

 

He is Chicago basketball. He is Chicago's favorite son.

 

I might shred a tear when they finally annouce "From Chicagooo...."

The Knicks got b****slapped by the pacers 125-91

Well then, James Harden...

All the thought towards the composition of the Bulls right now is based on one playoff series. Let's let it play out a bit. With our salary situation, it really doesn't make sense to try much of anything drastic until after next season anyway.

 

Come onnnn D Rose

So the Kings draft Thomas Robinson over Damian Lillard and then trade him before he even finishes his rookie season. And then they wonder why they suck...

For another PF no less. Maybe it's a move to make Cousins happy?? (Former teammates)

I'm going with a week from tomorrow vs Philly as a real possibility for his return.

 

 

 

Also it be kinda cool to come back against the team it happened against

I'll be at the game tonight.

Well then, James Harden...

 

That was just sick last night. I'm starting to think he's the best 2 in the game.

@WojYahooNBA

Lakers offering Steve Blake, Chris Duhon, Devin Ebanks, Darius Morris for 2nd-rounders, sources say. Looking to unload, free roster spots.

 

@WojYahooNBA

Orlando has secured offers of first-round picks for J.J. Redick, sources tell Y! Sports. So far, those belong to teams drafting in the 20's.

Would new ownership have a say on this yet or is it still the Maloofs? I was really surprised by this, but it only makes sense to me if it was maloofs trying to unload cash, but i'm not sure what patrick patterson makes.

There are plenty of other stars who have been, and who are on the block in the NBA. The Bulls will do nothing to attempt to get them. They are too worried about the luxury tax instead of titles.

I'm down with this complaint, but bringing it up when the big attraction is Josh Smith doesn't make any sense. That guy doesn't make a team any better.

Hinrich is a game time decision because of problems with his elbow.

I'm told Bulls definitely not moving Boozer & unlikely to do anything

One exec involved in talks w/ATL for J Smith now saying "50/50 chance he gets traded." That's a downgrade from yesterday

I was really hoping we could find some big man depth for Noah to take off some minutes. That said, our small lineup has been fine, we don't need noah playing 40 minutes.

I watched J Smith last night against the Heat, played a nice game dishing out dimes, real nice passes. Of course he took dumb 3pters but really other than that, played a nice all around game. He is talented but not at the price he's asking for.

That was just sick last night. I'm starting to think he's the best 2 in the game.

I'd still take Wade, Harden is just not a good defender.

I'm going with a week from tomorrow vs Philly as a real possibility for his return.

I'm going Sunday vs OKC for the ultimate birthday present for me.

Asked one GM what he had: "We're down to bulls--- text message offers from people who couldn't keep a straight face if they called."

Bulls have no deals in waiting as trade deadline passes. Was told they talked to Nuggets about Hamilton but nothing doing.
