2006-07 Bulls

Im starting to feel sick...

Current Bulls roster:

PG: Kirk Heinrich
SG: Andres Nocioni
SF: Luol Deng
PF: Tyson Chandler
C: Ben Wallace

Bench:
PG: Chris Duhon
SG: Ben Gordon
PF: Tyrus Thomas

And according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein, Chicago is in trade talks with New Orleans/Oklahoma City about a deal that would send Tyson Chandler to the Hornets for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith.

The Bulls are also rumored to be in talks to acquire Kevin Garnett...

Insanity

If the Knicks are the worst franchise in the NBA, then the Atlanta Hawks are second worst. Has GM Billy Knight completely lost his mind?

1. Marvin Williams selected over Chris Paul with Al Harrington on the roster at the 4 position
2. Boris Diaw an afterthought addition in the Joe Johnson Suns trade
3. Sheldon Williams selected #5 overall in the 2006 draft
4. Signing Speedy Claxton to a 4-year deal
5. Potentially not re-signing Al Harrington

Colangelo

Bryan Colangelo just gets it; just feels that way. The Toronto Raptors traded forward Charlie Villanueva today for point guard TJ Ford. Its hard to argue with the surprising rookie year performance of Villanueva, but Im still not totally convinced. And I really hope the Raptors opt not to re-sign one-year wonder Mike James, aka: a player who was terrible on the Miami Heat. Really appears as though Colangelo is remaking the Raptors, perennial NBA losers, into a real up and coming franchise. Bosh, Bargiani and Ford are a great nucleus from which to build.

aka: The Big Dog

"The Nuggets formally offered Anthony a five-year maximum contract extension worth an estimated $80 million on Saturday morning and Anthony didn't hesitate to accept."

Of course he did. Carmelo Anthony is simply a way overhyped version of former Purdue sensation Glenn the "Big Dog" Robinson. Ive said it since Carmelo's rookie year. Same player. Great mid-range jumpshot and overall ability to score the basketball. That's it. The Nuggets have just committed themselves to a long run of one-and-done playoff runs. Amazing how LeBron and Carmelo were the prized possessions of the 2003 draft, when Dwayne Wade was the true diamond in the rough.
