Rose is on USA Team Roster
Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has been named a finalist for the 2010 USA World Championship Team.
The teams head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is also the ring leader of Duke’s basketball program, said Rose performed well in exhibition games against the rest of the players trying out for the team. Coach K told this to Bulls.com about Rose’s performance.
Kobe is not better than MJ
Quickly, the Los Angeles Lakers are once again the NBA champions. The Boston Celtics played tough and made this series great, but the Lakers had too much for the Celtics aging roster.
Besides Rajon Rondo being younger and faster than Derek Fisher, the Lakers had the advantage at every other position. The argument can be made with Paul Pierce being better than Ron Artest. Pierce had better stats, but Artest’s defensive pressure was a defying element of the Lakers taking the championship. Pierce is also the Celitcs first option, while Artest is fourth or fifth behind Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom.
Now to the reason I’m writing this.
Introduction to the Top 10 Summer Free Agent Options for the Chicago Bulls
The next 10 posts are going to be the Bulls Home rundown of the top free agent options for the Chicago Bulls.
Chicago has six players on the books for next season: Luol Deng, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Kirk Hinrich and James Johnson. They are allowed to have 15, so there is room for nine more players.
The NBA projects next year’s salary cap to be $56.1 million. Chicago only has $33.6 million spent, meaning they have $22.5 mill to go shopping with.
Playoff Picks
This is a little late. The playoffs came fast and quick. The Bulls had so much commotion going on with fighting to get into the playoffs, Vinny Del Negro and John Paxson fighting and Noah blasting Cleveland and Kevin Garnett. Well, this is as good a time as any for my playoff picks.

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Chicago Bulls- Cavs in 5
I would love for the Bulls to win more than one game or even take the series, but it will not happen. Lebron James is just too much for the Bulls to handle. The Bulls played a great game, but still lost game 2. Enough said, I’m going to pout in silence…..

Chicago Bulls fans finally have someone to be proud of. Derrick Rose was named as a reserve for the NBA All Star game.
In his 2nd year in the NBA, Rose is the first Chicago Bull to be named to the team since Michael Jordan in 1998. In case you can not do math, it has been 12 YEARS.
