The LeDecision has been LeMade: LeBron James will join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. The three guys who were probably (in some order or another) Chicago’s Plans A, B and C have joined forces to become The Super Friends of South Beach. Ouch. But you know what? It could be worse. […]

If you were hoping the Bulls would have secured at least one big name free agent during the first day of this year’s free agent bonanza, you must be pretty disappointed. One bit of very good news is that the Bulls won’t be tempted to overpay for Joe Johnson in a “Plan B, C, or D” […]
Free Agent Watch: Chicago’s first target may not be you-know-who
Based on the comments left on yesterday’s post, there’s a reasonably large contingent of Bulls fans who think management should make signing Chris Bosh their first priority. If you’re in that group, you may get your wish. John Jackson of the Chicago Sun-Times writes: “According to sources, the Bulls may try to lock up center/power forward […]
Free Agent Watch: A potential punch to the face
Remember that “free agent summit” that everybody was wigging out about but then supposedly wasn’t going to happen after all? Well, it happened. Sort of.
