    Doesn't really affect us in anyway. I just thought some people would like to know.

    I bet it's the Bulls. They're more his kind of team, and they're close to Milwaukee. After all, if they could start Kurt Thomas for a big chunk of last year...

    Joel needs to stay far away from the Portland Knee Curse. Good luck to him.

    I think his wife is from the Chicago area and has family that lives there.

    Looks like I was wrong. Joel's wife Noelle is from Big Bend, Wisconsin.

    I like how the Blazers have to rely on other teams to save this team from Nate.

    It took me years to learn to spell Przybilla, and now he'll be with that top defensive coach whose name I can't spell. Thiobodeau or something.

    They belong together for defense and for spelling.

    Bump.

    I see Joel still hasn't signed with either the Heat or the Bulls. I wonder if the Blazers, in light of Greg's knee surgeries, are making another run at him.

    Unless he miraculously recovered since the last time he saw the court, this is a non-story. He looked AWFUL last year.

    The Bulls look like they have a lot of depth in the front court. I can't imagine they need him.

    I have no idea how good he is now, but good luck to him.

    Wonder if in light of the Blazers -20 rebounding performance against OKC are making a run at him, and if Joel is capable of helping in that regard.

    The fact that it's taken this long to decide tells me that Joel is leaning towards retirement.

    Yes he was terrible. I'll be surprised if he is better then Chris Johnson this year.

    He announced in December that he wanted to spend Christmas with his family and would wait till after that to look for a team. I said then that he is unmotivated. He sure is creating a bad impression.
