Bulls are insignificant right now.

My sources still say Gil was wrong.

My sources confirm this.

"Chris Broussard said on ESPN Friday that a big reason that LeBron James didn't sign with the Bulls is that they didn't offer enough perks for LeBron's family and friends.
One of LeBron's buddies was hired by the Cavaliers and he wanted his entourage to be able to travel on the Bulls' tab, but the team, according to Broussard, said 'we didn't do that for Michael Jordan, so we're not doing it for you.'

I have more respect for Reinsdorf and GarPax than I ever did before now.  Screw Lebron.  He's nowhere near Jordan's league and nowhere near Jordan's greatness.

Kobe is now the most respected player in the NBA.  Go figure.

Nice try.  But it doesn't make you any less wrong.

Nor does it make Jordan any less of a douche.

Tyrus Thomas just got 5 yrs, 45 million from the Nets Bobcats.

Ha.

Ha.

And Joe Johnson signed the highest offseason contract. Sweet.

I think Anthony Morrow or Ronnie Brewer would be good pickups (or, hell, why not both?)

Kyle Korver?  I'm not quite as jazzed about him.

You did that on purpose, right?

Need to know Eli's jazz situation.

And here's this:

The Bulls also reached agreement on a deal with big man Omer Asik of Turkey. Asik will play for Turkey in the World Championships and will not be with the team until then. The Bulls are quietly optimistic about Asik and believe he can be a high level reserve behind Joakim Noah, which reduces their concern about adding another big man.

I did make the terrible pun on purpose, yes.

As for the signing, it's pretty good.  Price is right for probably the best spot-up shooter who was out there.

[Slaky]

Add Redick to the list of shooters. Bulls signed him to an offer sheet. Front loaded to try and get Orlando not to match.

The Bulls might be doin a lot of kickin' out this year.

The Bulls might be doin a lot of kickin' out this year.

Indeed. It's no doubt disappointing to not wind up with LeBron, but I think they're going to wind up with lots of depth next year.  Obviously Redick can shoot, but I don't think a lot of people realize that he's also a solid defender.  Even Kelly Dwyer likes him (uh, I think).

As of now, the rotation looks like:

Rose
Redick
Deng
Boozer
Noah
Gibson
Korver
Karate Johnson
The Turk

That's a quality top seven, and I still think Johnson will turn into a useful bench guy.  They still need a backup point guard for Rose and hopefully another wing defender (still like Brewer there), specifically to try and handle Wade and LeBron.
