Interesting

Is Kareem Abdul-Jabar part of the package?

Proposed swap:

Deng for Bynum
Ron Adams+future front office intern+cash for Kareem

I heard Roy Hibbert's workout is scheduled for next week.

Bulls fans have enough to worry about the next weeks—whom the team will name as head coach, whom John Paxson will take with the first overall pick in the draft—so it’s easing to the mind to hear that Tyrus Thomas and Luol Deng are working out with David Thorpe at IMG Academy in Florida this early in the offseason.

From the mouth of the man himself

Thorpe in his chat today

Nasir, Philly: How are Tyrus and Luol progressing at IMG?
SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:23 PM ET ) Beautifully. First guys in the gym each day-90 minutes early most days. Wonderful young men who are working tirelessly to get better.

In that picture, Tyrus looks about 4 inches taller than Deng. Which is funny cause according to ESPN and most major listings, they are both 6’9”. I know that listed height is always innacurate, but it’s funny to see it very so much in one picture.
