Fernandez a good fit?
“Sources close to the subject” say, the Chicago Bulls are interested in free agent Rudy Fernandez.
This brings a lot of speculation.
Lorenzen Wright Found Dead
Lorenzen Wright, a 13 year NBA veteran, was found dead in Memphis.
The Memphis native had been listed as a missing person by his family on July 22. Reports haven’t listed Wright’s death as a homicide, but his body was found in the woods. Also, investigators and health officials have not said what could have caused the death.
Rosters are starting to take shape
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have found a home. Now everyone else is starting to put their John Hancock on the dotted line. The domino effect ESPN columnists and Dan Patrick have spoke about, is finally happening.
Rosters are starting to take shape, especially for the Chicago Bulls. They traded away Tyrus Thomas, John Salmons and Kirk Hinrich for expiring contracts that are now off the books and future draft picks. The Bulls are starting to build the roster and our only six days into the free agent signing period.
Boozer and Korver are officially signed. Yesterday, the Bulls signed 7 ft center Omer Asik from Turkey. Asik was originally drafted by the Portland Trailblazers in 2008, but was immediately traded to the Bulls. He has been developing for the past two years in Euroleague play. Chicago needs a big man who can defend a Dwight Howard or a Pau Gasol. Asik looks long and lengthy but is a great shot blocker. Maybe he will defend with intimidation as his best aspect; that’s what Ben Wallace did. Scouts seem to think he has solid NBA skills.
Day 1: Everyone wins the Lotto
July 1st is the day anyone who has anything to do with the NBA has been waiting for…free agency.
Friends of mine on Facebook wrote update status stating they were not doing anything except watching ESPN to see who was going to what team. Chris Bosh, one of three big names in the free agency market, tweeted he was also watching ESPN to see what moves were going to happen. Then he tweeted he was going to Chicago to here their pitch, I got excited.
Anyway, four players were signed during the first day of the open market. All of them were over paid. David Stern must have been handing out winning scratch off lottery tickets to these players because they’re not worth the contracts they graciously accepted.
Kerr dominates Paxson in poll
Last week when Steve Kerr resigned as the general manager of the Phoenix Suns,because he wasn’t going to get rehired, I pondered the idea of Kerr coming back to Chicago to replace John Paxson as the Bull’s Vice President of Basketball Operations.
I asked the question to you, who would be a better for the Bulls, Kerr or Paxson. Kerr dominated Paxson, getting 36 of the 52 votes. I wonder if Kerr would beat Gar Forman, like he did Paxson.
