According to a report from USA Today’s Sam Amick, soon-to-be free agent and BYU legend Jimmer Fredette intends to sign with the Chicago Bulls if and when he clears waivers. Signing Jimmer potentially could complicate the Bulls’ efforts to stay out of the luxury tax, but the Bulls reportedly are willing to risk it. This, […]
As you are presumably aware by now, the Philadelphia 76ers went on a one-team crusade to acquire the entire second round of this year’s draft at the trade deadline. Already in possession of a couple second round picks, they nabbed five more over this year and the next two by trading away Spencer Hawes and […]
We’re back, everybody! After a week off for All-Star Weekend, we’re back on the job with a new episode of Shooting the Bull. This week, Brian Schroeder and I talk about the Chicago Bulls and what they might be thinking in the post-deadline period, then we’re joined by Andrew Lynch of Hardwood Paroxysm for further […]
In a battle of two teams that have dealt with more than their fair share of injuries, the Chicago Bulls embodied their coach’s “Next Man Up” philosophy while the Denver Nuggets folded, with the Bulls taking home the 117-89 victory. The Bulls jumped on Denver right from the beginning, and not even Jimmy Butler leaving […]
Hello again! Hope y’all had a nice All-Star Weekend. It’s good to be back, especially after the Chicago Bulls continued their bizarre success this season with a 94-92 win over the Toronto Raptors last night. The Bulls, of course, hadn’t played since they beat the Brooklyn Nets six days prior, and facing the only team […]
Trade season officially is upon us, with the deadline just a week away. And Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski is on the case, reporting that the Oklahoma City Thunder intend to be buyers. Armed with trade exceptions, OKC has been active in search for a shooter to fortify them for title run, league sources tell Yahoo. — […]
If there is one thing Tom Thibodeau knows, it’s defense. He’s very good at coaching it, and the Chicago Bulls are very good at executing his system. But I think it’s time someone went over the fine points of his preferred pick and roll defense, in an effort to clear up some misconceptions. To be […]
With the Chicago Bulls posting a commanding 100-85 win over the Atlanta Hawks last night, it would be easy to get carried away and start talking about the playoffs. The Bulls, after all, now sit fourth in the moribund east, right behind the Toronto Raptors. And that’s fine, so long as you understand that any […]
I apologize for this, but I’m short on sleep and over-caffeinated, so maybe this was inevitable. In short, I have discovered my favorite hypothetical trade involving getting Kevin Love to the Chicago Bulls. It started with this proposal from Steve McPherson of Grantland, A Wolf Among Wolves, Hardwood Paroxysm and others. Then I got ahold […]
Ah, Sunday afternoon basketball. It’s been too long. The Chicago Bulls salvaged a 3-3 road trip after they beat the injury-ravaged Los Angeles Lakers, 92-86. The game had its moments, but we’re kidding ourselves if we call it anything but mostly ugly. Anyway, on to what we learned, if only so we can stop thinking […]
