Doug Collins New Bulls Head Coach

According to many reports,

Doug Collins is expected to be named the new Chicago Bulls head coach. Huh? I don't get it. Earlier this month, Collins told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that he had "no interest" in coaching again. Collins was fired by the Bulls in 1989, despite leading the team to the Eastern Conference finals. He was replaced by Phil Jackson, who went on to coach the team to six NBA titles.

I don't know. Good or bad? I guess it's better than some of the names Paxson was interviewing.

Like we didn't already Noah...

According to an article by Lisa Fisher of the Gainsville Sun...

"Gainesville Police issued a notice to appear in court to former Gator basketball standout Joakim Noah based on allegations of possession of less than 20 grams of cannibis and an open container violation early Sunday.
Noah, 23, was spotted by police in the 100 block of S. Main Street at about 1:50 a.m., said GPD spokeswoman Officer Summer Hallett. Police reported he was carrying what appeared to be a clear plastic cup with an iced, amber-colored beverage inside. Noah put the cup down when he saw law enforcement, she said. Police checked the cup and said it smelled like an alcoholic-beverage.

Police took Noah to the department's downtown annex. While at the annex, officers reported they found a cannibis cigarette in his pants pocket, Hallett said.
The notice to appear means Noah has a court appearance on the charges in June, Hallett said.
It is standard procedure to issue a notice to appear instead of take someone to jail based on these charges, Hallett said. Officers can jail a person in this kind of case but generally do not if a person is cooperative and there are no other issues such as the individual cannot be positively identified. Hallett noted that Noah was "very cooperative" with police when he was stopped.
Noah recently completed his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls in the NBA. "

Maybe Noah was burning down a blunt in celebration of the first pick??? I can't get mad because I know the BullsWeekly.com staff did the same thing...

According to espn.com

" GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Authorities in Gainesville have charged Chicago Bulls forward and former Florida star Joakim Noah with possession of marijuana and having an open container of alcohol.

Noah
Gainesville police spokesman Sgt. Rick Roberts said Noah was arrested around 1:50 a.m. Sunday after an officer spotted him on a sidewalk holding a plastic cup containing an amber drink, a violation of city law. During a search at the station, officers found marijuana in his pocket.
Noah was released after signing a notice to appear before a judge -- standard procedure for such offenses. He could face up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine for the marijuana charge.
Noah led the Gators to back-to-back national championships before being picked ninth overall in last June's draft by the Bulls."

The SKY is the limit...

The Chicago Bulls baby sister is all grown up and it's time to pay her some respect...

The Chicago Sky will be the next big team in the WNBA... The Sky have a assembled a great group of young talents. Candice Dupree the 3rd year forward out of Temple is now joined by a beast downlow, rookie Sylvia Fowles from LSU. Sylvia is one of the best players to come out of college to the WNBA in years.




The Sky were (2-0) in the preseason and are currently 1-1 this season. They took down the Sacramento Monarchs 87-77 on thursday night. Candice Dupree had 22 points and 4 dimes while Sylvia Folwes added a solid 11 points 7 boards and 4 blocks in only 27 minutes.

The future looks bright for the Sky

Rip's Mock Draft

1. (Bulls) Derrick Rose.

Allows the Bulls to have a core of players Rose, Thabo, Deng, Tyrus, and Noah all under the Age of 24. Makes the previous generation of players the veterans... Gooden, Hinrich, Nocioni. With a 6-5 PG the Bulls could move players like Hughes and Gordon.

Bulls could be 2 years away from a really serious team (Hughes big expiring contract will be a valuable trading piece down the road) Rose will also bring out the best in players like Deng, Tyrus, and Noah who are good finishers when they have a playmaker around them helping them get good shots.

Who doesn't like sick PGs???.... Ever since the NBA took the hand-check rule out of the NBA, players like Chris Paul Tony Parker and Deron Williams who can go to the bucket with a clear path...have been feasting... Plus the Bulls need an IDENTITY.. Rose or Beasley will finally be that... Beasley has already publicly said he doesn't know if he's ready for the NBA lifestyle. Rose seems more mature and he would love to play for the Bulls... Him and Noah can bring the "want-to-be-here" personality the Bulls need.

2. (Heat) D-Wade and Beasley could be a dominate 1-2 in the east for many years.

3. (Timberwolves) Brook Lopez and Harrington could give the T-Wolves great inside size, and get open shots for McCants and others.

4. (Sonics) Jerryd Bayless could be a very effective point gaurd with upcoming stars Kevin Durant and Jeff Green on the wings.

5. (Grizzlies) OJ Mayo is the star that Memphis needs with the loss of Gasol. Also makes a nice compliment to Connely who is undersized.

6. (Knicks) Eric Gordon.... I can't remember the last time the Knicks passed up an opportunity to pick up a gunning SG... why should they stop now??? Plus the big apple likes big names.

I only did the first 6 picks because i didnt know how to copy a bigger screenshot from espn.com that included more then 6 picks and paste it into paint to load onto BullsWeekly as a JPEG... maybe mo-robb can help??

Should the Bulls.... "Be Easy"

Should the Chicago Bulls take Michael Beasley or Derrick Rose with the first pick in the 2009 NBA Draft???

Derrick Rose playing for the Chicago Bulls???

According to Steve Tucker of the Sun Times...

If the Bulls make hometown hero Derrick Rose the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft — as expected — that’s just fine with Rose.
The Chicago native, who led Simeon High School to back-to-back state championships in 2006 and 2007, said Tuesday he is excited about the prospect of playing for the Bulls and acknowledged there would be some great benefits to playing in his hometown.

‘‘I grew up in Englewood, played in the Chicago Public League, and it would be nice to make my hometown proud and give my family and friends the opportunity to see me play often,’’ Rose said. ‘‘I come from a very close family, and I have a very special bond with my brother Reggie, who has really helped guide and prepare me throughout my career in AAU, high school and college.’’
In Rose’s lone college season at Memphis, he guided the Tigers to the NCAA title game, where they lost to Kansas in overtime.
When asked about any drawbacks to playing in Chicago, Rose — who wore No. 23, which has been retired by the Bulls in honor of Michael Jordan, in high school in college — showed his humor.
‘‘I kind of got used to wearing No. 23, but I know it’s not going to happen in Chicago,’’ he said. ‘‘But that’s a small price to pay for playing in my hometown.
‘‘Every young kid who plays basketball dreams of playing in the NBA. The thought of being drafted by your hometown makes it extra special, especially when your team has a tradition like the Bulls and the great players that have come out of the organization. If it does happen, I promise to come ready and prepared to play, give it everything I have and do whatever I’m asked to do for the team.’’
Most analysts rate Rose and Kansas State power forward Michael Beasley as the top two prospects in the draft, but the Bulls’ greater need at point guard and Rose’s ties to the city make his selection seem more likely.
‘‘It’s a great situation for Derrick if he has a chance to come back here,’’ Reggie Rose said. ‘‘He grew up watching that No. 23 [Jordan], and he knows the history of the team and the great management they have.
‘‘Right now, he’s just working out, and you never know what’s going to happen. But it certainly would be great to see him come home and play.’’

Bulls Fans Collectively Blow Load

Bulls win the 2008 NBA Lottery.

Carmelo Anthony Tradeable?

The Nets have had exploratory conversations with Denver about Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby, league sources said. Vandeweghe traded for Camby and drafted Anthony in Denver. Nothing is imminent. The Nuggets are not committed to moving Anthony yet. But after his recent legal troubles plus five straight first-round losses, they are listening to offers for their players.

I know this is crazy, but if this is true get Carmelo. I mean I said get Gilbert, but I'm backing out of that. Get anyone. Carmelo would be legit. Get a coach, than get Carmelo, Kobe, Lebron, Dwayne Wade, and Pau Gasol. Than I would bring Ben Wallace back and extend his contract for max money.

There Is A Chance

I was playing the ESPN mock lottery draft and it brought me some hope. I received the 2nd pick and that pick would be Beasley. Check out the pic. Some fans are disappointed that we didn't get D'Antoni, but I'm starting to agree with a lot of analysis out there. The reason why is Defense wins championships. The Bulls only won 6 games last year when giving up 100 points. We will see what plays out.

It's About Time

It's about time the Chicago Bulls made a change. Tom Dore was taken off the broadcast team and replaced with radio personality Neil Funk. I wish they would of taken Stacey King off the panel but unfortunately I think he still is in. Johnny Red Kerr is also out. He will be doing half time and post game shows. Also suprisingly I couldn't believe that they took Wayne Larivee off of WGN broadcasting. The Bulls are expected to make a formal announcement soon. I liked Wayne Larivee, but I'm glad Tom Dore is gone because he was the corniest announcer out there. Neil Funk brings excitement.

According to Chicago Sports,

The Bulls have decided to move radio voice Neil Funk to handle the call on television. Former WGN-Ch. 9 sports personality Chuck Swirsky will return to town to call play-by-play on radio. Currently, Swirsky holds a similar post for the Toronto Raptors.
