    Blair seems like an obvious fit for a win now team

    I like the Bulls' picks.

    If the Bulls lose Gordon and keep Hinrich and Deng is healthy, they could be pretty solid, if missing that one prolific scorer.

    I don't think the Bulls are keeping Gordon.

    Del Negro was talking about what the Bulls have going forward, and he listed Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah, Brad Miller, Derrick Rose, and Kirk Hinrich as guys that Johnson and Taj will join.

    Gordon was conspicuously absent.

    Taj is super skinny and still seems to not be a great jumper. Ick.

    Pendergraph was my favorite likely 2nd rounder

    With the trade, we were essentially 1 pick away from walking away with BJ Mullens at 26. Tough break.

    Gar Foreman just on ESPN says the bulls will hopefully have Gordon back.

    They're going to have to go into the LT to sign him, then trade away enough salary to get under it again, IMO.

    They figure the LT penalties at the end of the season, so the Bulls could go for some months over the LT and still not get penalized.

    Did I mention I really like Foreman already? I like the moves the Bulls have made at the trade deadline and now these two picks are pretty good. At least they're addressing our area of real need, he seems to get it.

    Taj Gibson, the next Courie Blount? Blount was the 25th pick in the draft.

    I read that incentrive to stay under the lux tax is going to be significatnly less next season b/c Knicks and someone else (Mavs?) aren't blowing it out next season.

    EDIT: So that's good news in terms of signing BG.

    Can someone tell Adam Silver to say "traded" instead of "convey"?

    The tax is still a penalty though.

    If the Bulls could give away Tyrus for a future pick or something, it'd save us $6M+ and give us room to sign Gordon.

    We're not really that far away from being able to do stuff.

    The Bulls probably want to re-sign Hunter, too.

    Seriously though, what else is he gonna say? There's no way in hell we'll pay Gordon?

    San Antonio is rebuilding on the fly nicely.

    Boy, Sergio Rodriquez stock has dropped. He is worth 6 slots in the 2nd round now.

    I like that pickup for the Kings.
