thats the shit.... thats awesome..... unstopable.... if they end up getting GARNET the NBA wont be a conpetition for the CHICAGO BULLS anymore....
PS: Italia are gonna win the world cup ... portugul and france have no chance.... cheers wiz

...but then you don't have a bench. Best to keep Tyrus and maybe trade next years first round pick?

ELG, don't forget Malik Allen,Harrington,Chris Duhon,Mike Sweetney, Songalia and LUUUKE are still on the bench, plus if we have KG, who needs a bench...ha ha ha.

Don't trade next years draft pick. The '07 draft is set to be deepest since LeBron, Wade, Melo, etc.

If choosing between moving the pick next year (which going on Knicks form is likely top 5 or 6 again if the lottery works out!!) or Tyrus Thomas, I'd move Thomas. Top picks from this years draft would be late lottery or into the "teens" if they were taken next year...

yeah, just found info on that pipe dream anon, Chandler traded for PJ Brown and JR Smith, story is on

Damn It!!!!!!!

The 2007 draft is considered the strongest in the last 20 years. The Bulls can't trade next years pick due to the Eddie Curry deal with the Kn(D)icks... They get to exchange the pick, so potentially considering how crap the Knicks are, it could be No 1. Imaging Greg Oden with the Bulls...

The Chicago Bulls and New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets have verbally agreed to a deal that will send Tyson Chandler to the Hornets for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith. (Deal can't be offical until 12 June)


The Pacers just shagged the Mavericks. Pacers sent Croshere to Dallas for Marquis Daniels...

Whoa. Great news for the Pacers. I think Daniels will blossom with extended minutes.

I know Crosere has an over-priced contract, do you know how many years remain on it TR? I can't see the benefit in this for the Mavs unless it's an expiring contract.

They already have an overpriced one-dimentional standstill shooter in KVH, why do they need another? Having said that, by the looks of what went on during the playoffs, it doesn't appear they have a role for Daniels, either. He only averaged 11 mpg in the playoffs & I think he's too talented for that. I'm sure the Pacers can find a way for him to play at least 25-30 mins per game between the 1, 2 & 3 spots.

Including JR Smith in the trade is interesting. Obviously he & Byron Scott were not going to get along & there are suggestions it's likely he'll clash with Skiles, too. He's an undeniable talent though, and if he drops the attitude problem, he could be a valuable contributor for the Bulls.

If the Chicago-New Orleans/Oklahoma City deal goes through, J.R. Smith (6'6", 220lb SG) will likely end up whinging about lack of minutes (like he did with the Hornets) with the Bulls. Smith has 1 year left on his contract ($1,387,560 in 2006-07), with a team option for another year ($2,134,067), and a qualifying offer to be made in 2008-09 (minimum $3,028,241)

P.J. Brown (6'11", 239lb C) has 1 year left on his contract, worth $9,000,000.

Tyson Chandler (7'1", 235lb C) has 5 years left on his contract ($9,335,974 in 2006-07)

Austin Croshere (6'10", 235lb PF) has 1 year left on his contract, worth $9,560,000. I'm suprised Croshere has lasted 9 seasons in Indiana.

Keith Van Horn (6'10", 245lb SF) is an unrestricted free agent, so Dallas don't have to re-sign him if they don't want to.

Marquis Daniels (6'6", 200lb SG) will have to compete for the starting SG position for the Pacers with:
Stephen Jackson
Sarunas Jasikevicius
Fred Jones (If he accepts the Pacers' qualifying offer of minumum $3,239,420 for 2006-07).
Daniels is also able to play the SF spot sometimes too, but his competition there would be:
Danny Granger
Shawne Williams
James White
In the PG spot Indiana have:
Anthony Johnson
Jamaal Tinsley
So unless the Pacers move out one of these players (my guess would be Stephen Jackson, then Jamaal Tinsley), Daniels won't be seeing major minutes anytime soon. Daniels has 4 years left on his contract ($5,883,600 in 2006-07), with a team option for a 5th year ($7,354,500).

The Bulls would have to give up a lot to get Kevin Garnett (6'11", 220lb PF), firstly because Minnesota isn't shopping him, and secondly because of his $20,000,000 salary in 2006-07. Garnett has 2 years left on his contract, with a player option for a 3rd year in 2008-09 ($24,000,000).

Just checking out the rosters for the various summer leagues, and Schenscher has retained a spot on the Bulls roster at least for the summer. Also, Alex Loughton is listed for the Orlando Magic.

Also listed for the Bulls is Bo Hamburger's new favourite NBA player Chevy Troutman, named after his place of conception.

where was that Doc? In the back of a chevy at a trout farm?

Chevy Troutman is unquestionably a good name - but not sure if he would have made my All-Star team last season...

Bo, your All-Star team may have some new faces this year. I swear I'm not making these up. All Summer League rostered players:

- Brett "Ice Man" Blizzard

- Kevin Pittsnoggle

- Alpha Bangura

- Pops-Mensa Bonsa

- Eugene "Pooh" Jeter

- Cornelius McFadgon

Reminds me of playing Hang Time on N64 with created players and the commentator yelling "Cornelius! to Frankencow..."

(Mod: Last line made me laugh. Reminds me - my brother and I shared a room as kids. One night he sat bolt upright and yelled in his sleep "Ewing, for three!")

Awesome game. Only time when a hook shot from from near the three point line running away from the basket is high-percentage.

Large Marge was always my favourite. Her and Fat Boy dominated the league for many weekends, school days, SWOT Vac... She was 7'6" with big red hair, he wore glasses and a terry towelling blue hat. Classy couple.
