[From the Diaries. -Matt]

In the world of slow news, this is a little excitement.

"The Chicago Bulls announced today the signings of 2007 draft picks Joakim Noah and Aaron Gray. Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed."

The Promise didn't get guaranteed money?

Du is going to have to find a

new stomping ground.

Federal authorities seized and shuttered Reserve earlier this month.

I was going to ask this...

...but then forgot. Has anyone been to Underground on W. Illinois and Dearborn? http://www.theundergroundchicago.com/

My sister and I just celebrated our birthdays there this weekend. (not given by the club, obviously) It seemed like a really good time, but I actually didn't get too much chance to look around-(my sister is director of runway at elite modeling and about 10 of her models showed up).

I live in Omaha and never go to clubs here, I was going to ask before to see what to expect, and now I'm just curious for what someone else thought. or what the reputation is--the guys were actually assholes at the door.

Yes, of course.

No trade

I guess this means no trade of Noah, at least for a little while.

I like it

I think, in 2 years, the idea that the Bulls got Thomas and Noah for essentially Curry and Wilson Chandler will make us laugh and laugh.

What's the deal with the other Curry? Are they just inviting him to camp?

Happy or sad laugh?

Actually we got Tyrus and Noah for Curry and Gray and Wallace for Chandler.

Othello Harrington

and Mutombo, Frank Williams (who managed to get himself out of the league by not staying in shape), and Cezary Trybanski.

Mutombo was traded for Adrian Griffin, Pike, and Mike Wilks. Motumbo wanted to be back in Houston.

Every time I look at the pictures of Noah

in a Bull uniform I can't help but think he makes Chandler look like he was the incredible hulk.

That's funny!

any update on the promise?

by milesgmsu on Jul 30, 2007 10:54 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Chandler

looks bigger than he used to when I saw Tyson at the USA tryouts. Maybe it was just the dark blue unis though. As for Noah he is ripped. not a ton of mass (and thats putting it lightly) but he puts in alot of time in the weight room and is real cut up.

KG to the Celts (maybe)

I love Pax, but just get the feeling he is too much in love with his current assets and could have got KG to the Bulls if he tried...

If this goes through, KG for Jefferson, Ratcliff and Green is a steal. can't help think that A Bulls package of Luol, Tyrus and 3-4 expiring contracts is just as good if not better.

Oh well, just venting...ignore this post (I know a lot of folks wouldn't even want to give up Deng in a 1-1 trade for KG)

by DarthSidius on Jul 30, 2007 3:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

ok, stop venting

because you're wrong.

The Bulls don't have 3-4 expiring contracts whether they included Deng or not.

by your friendly BullsBlogger on Jul 30, 2007 3:42 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

oh yeah, and...

wrong thread too

missed the separate thread for this, but

don't we have Sweets, Du and Krappy all expiring?? Anyways, I'll move my vents to the proper thread

by DarthSidius on Jul 30, 2007 4:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

it's not nearly enough money

and sweets isn't under contract.

What did he say?

by paxson43 on Jul 30, 2007 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

two polar opposites

I can just imagine jim rome screaming about something, interspersed with minutes of dead air time, then luol carefully mulling over whatever inane point rome made, explaining why he disagrees, and politely ending the conversation

I hate Jim Rome
