    Oh no. Why are they doing this? I didn't liek how Linton Johnson played at all when he was still on the team. He was too stiff and he can't even inbound the ball. he cost the Bulls a chance to wn that one game. Argh.

    well he was puttin up like 15 ppg in the CBA i think so maybe he can score a little better now. I think Skiles said he was like a good shooter at practice but in games he gets nervous and maybe the pressure affected him before but it just takes time to grow out of it i guess.

    Bulls Sign Johnson
    I like this signing, Scott Skiles said that he shoots the ball well in practice like Tha Franksta said. He plays good defense, 1 on 1 and he can play the passing lane, if he shoots the ball as well as he does in practice, look for the bulls to resign him for the season and waive somebody else.

    I've seen him play with the Bulls once and he looked okay. It's reasonable he'd be signed to another contract.

    Btw, don't panic if it's only a 10-day contract. It's just like an experiment where you'll throw out the bad remains. Not a big deal.

    You know what, we should have won that game against the 76ers. Don't blame Linton though. The whole team made too many mistakes. We had a lead. We blew it. You can't blame him, an undrafted rookie, for making a bad inbound pass in a high pressure situation when you are talking about the same team who gave up about 10 double-digit leads this season alone to lose the game in the end.

    The kid is good i saw one of his CBA games on satelliete, i dont know why it was on but he played pretty good with those guys, i think he is NBA material, and ObieCent is right high pressure, undrafted rookie are two things that dont work too good together.

    Did you hear that the Raptors released Lonny Baxter... I liked him, the Bulls should get him. He looks like Ricky in Barbershop.

    I think they should release Chris Jefferies... this guys doesn't even get to play. Only when the Bulls are losing by a whole lot, do we see him play.

    He has 3 years left on his contract, his salary would count against our cap for awhile. Kendall is back so we have a backup PG, we might waive Brunson, who actually isn't that bad so im not sure if we should go for Baxter.
