As reported by Comcast Sportnet Chicago - Andr?s Nocioni will be out for a while with a right foot injury, we're looking at beyond the All-Star break. To my knowledge you cannot trade injured players, so Noce is off the block for a Gasol deal or any type of deal in general. Unless I'm wrong about that, though I'm sure that's right. With the trade deadline just around the bend the Bulls will have to look at other players and we'll be out of our top energy player coming off the bench for quite some time. Thankfully Chris Duhon has found his touch again, but we really need Noce off the bench for that extra energy.
Yeah, losing Noc is a big blow off the bench. Duhon has stepped up, but there isn't much scoring other then him off the bench and that's only when he's having a good night. Malik can't hit his jumpshot anymore ever since his injury. Tyrus doesn't really score. Thabo doesn't play much, Griff just dribbles around. Maybe Sweets will get in.
