The Chicago Bulls are apparently sending a message to the rest of the NBA. It reads: “Let’s make a deal!” With a crazy logjam in the frontcourt, the Bulls have started to gauge the values of bigs Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah around the league, according to Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher, as transcribed [...]

The injury took place in the third quarter of the game while Noah was guarding Andrea Bargnani. Joakim Noah just injured his shoulder, and left the court. Hope his reaction is not a sign as [...]

Additional offensive help is not on the way for the Chicago Bulls. Already bogged down by subpar play at the point guard position (sup, Derrick Rose) and in the frontcourt (sup, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah), the Bulls definitely need an offensive boost.

Fred Hoiberg, it seems, is not afraid to bench Joakim Noah. When the Chicago Bulls poached Hoiberg from Iowa State, we all knew the offense was going to change. Hoiberg incorporates more movement and a little more speed. There would be more shooting. A lot more shooting. The kind of shooting you can’t get by [...]

Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The Bulls ranked second last year and employ a slew [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

The Chicago Bulls had to do some roster shuffling again on Friday night, but it didn’t appear to effect the team what so ever. In the Bulls 118-115 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, one player returned to the starting lineup, while another sat out again. Center Joakim Noah was back on the floor after missing [...]
