    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The most impressive play of the Bulls? preseason occurred during Sunday?s free scrimmage at the United Center.

    This annual fan-friendly exercise usually features very little defense. So when Ben Gordon took off on a fastbreak, it was surprising to see rookie Tyrus Thomas go up to challenge the shot.

    The 6-foot-9 Thomas is easily the Bulls? best leaper and has turned in a number of impressive dunks and blocks during the preseason. But despite Thomas? defensive pressure, the 6-2 Gordon reared back and hammered an authoritative slam dunk over the top of his rookie teammate.

    ?It was a pretty good result,? Gordon said with a smile. ?I know I probably surprised a lot of people, but I had the wide-open lane. He had everything to lose. I had nothing to lose, so I figured I?d go up there and try to dunk it.?</div>

    Well, Gordon does have a 40 inch vertical and all, and didn't he have that one sick alley-oop when he was a rookie? I know he doesn't dunk much, but he can definately get up there.

    That article also speculates that Milwakee will offer Hinrich $14Mill next season. That so much for hinrich, I'm not sure he is worth that much. Might be a mistake not to lock him up now...

    Do the Bucks really have that much money to offer? Didn't they just sign Redd to a huge contract?

    The article says Milwaukee expect to be $14 million under the cap and can drive up the price for Hinrich.

    looked like he was going for a lay up and then thought 'stuff it' and stuffed it.
