Woj either in a Zach Lowe podcast or ESPN, said there were serious talks that centered around those two in a trade. The sticking point was New Orleans wanted a pick and the Bulls had already used their pick for Vuc. Ball has been rumored to Chicago for a while now. That being said I look for him to go to New York now. They have the money and is another big market team. Also interesting is what the Bulls were willing to pay Ball next season. Seems maybe money is not a problem anymore to Michael R! Glad to see that. Keep your eyes on Dinwidde or even Schroder as possible point guards for the Bulls. If Dinwidde comes back from his injury he would fit in well for the Bulls.
