The Chicago Bulls have too many options to count in the draft and free agency. Here are some of them.

Don’t be surprised if the Chicago Bulls trade a pick to save money
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 […]
Some Bulls draft thoughts
With the NBA draft two days away…I have no idea what to expect from the Bulls. Chicago has the 28th, 30th and 43rd picks. The team needs an athletic shooting guard who can create his own offense, nail jumpers from long range, and (of course) defend. That would basically complete the championship package. So how […]
Say goodbye to Captain Kirk and the 17th pick…say hello to cap space
After being one-upped in the all-important “Cap Space Race” by the Miami Heat — who created extra financial flexibility by trading Daequan Cook and their first round pick in last night’s draft — the Bulls countered by reportedly agreeing to send Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards for (you guessed it!) extra financial […]
Draft / Free Agent Watch: Bulls want to trade pick and shed salary
I bet you’ve been wondering who the Bulls are going to select in tonight’s NBA Draft. Me too. However, if Bulls management has it’s way, some other team is going to end up with the 17th pick. According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune: “Like the Heat’s trade of Daequan Cook and their first-round pick, […]
NBA Draft Watch: Potential draftees
K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune says that the Bulls would much rather trade away their draft pick than use it: “League sources continue to indicate the Bulls are shopping the 17th pick and trying to package it with long-term contracts to clear even more cap space than the projected $20 million to $22 million […]
NBA Draft Watch: James Anderson and Xavier Henry
ESPN’s Chad Ford has published his Mock Draft Version 4.0. He has the Bulls taking shooting guard James Anderson of Oklahoma State. Anderson, by the way, was the Big 12 Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Year and a first team All-American. Ford writes: “Anderson was one of the best scorers in college basketball and […]
Introducing your new Chicago Bulls
As it turns out, the Bulls did not trade up in the draft (i.e., no Gerald Henderson), nor did they pull off any blockbuster trades, ala the Cleveland Cavaliers (who acquired Shaq) and Orlando Magic (who got Vince Carter). Instead, they opted to add toughness, depth and versatility to the front court…while maintaining a little financial flexibility for next summer. With […]
Draft Day: LiveBlog-O-Rama-Rama
First things first. Shaq is officially off the board, and so is Scoop Jackson’s master plan for a Bulls roster featuring Derrick Rose, Tracy McGrady or Ben Gordon, John Salmons, Tyrus Thomas, Shaquille O’Neal; with a bench of Kirk Hinrich, Joakim Noah, DeJuan Blair, Wayne Ellington, Brad Miller, Anthony Roberson and DeMarcus Nelson. Oh well. […]
Damaging drafts
We’re only one season into the Derrick Rose Era, and I think it’s pretty safe to say he was the right pick. Unfortunately, not every draft has been sunshine and puppy dogs for the Bulls. In fact, there have been some downright painful draft day failures over the last decade. Here are the worst. Jay […]
