John Paxson adds another new piece, well a old piece technically, but I am glad to welcome back Adrian Griffin to the Bulls. AG is a solid bench guy who will give us more vet eladership on the team with 2 new young players added to it, I am not sure who will be cut now but someone has to go in the near future to sign Kirk. Anyone that remembers AD and Griffin from 2 years ago knows that he can bring alot to the team. Welcome back to Chi-town Griff.

Also, I question why Griff went back, I understand more money, more years but they cut him before and now all of a sudden want him back. He should have spurned them.
All during the off season I have heard Pax say he wants vet leadership on this team with his FA moves and this just fllows that pattern. It is also good insurance in case Thabo has a hard time adjusted to the nba, which I dont think he will but it will take about a season or so. Noc had some struggles in his first year adjusted to the league, but still improved quickly due to his experience overseas. I thik Fabo will follow the same suit, all that overseas experience will give him a head start on things. I do love getting more picks in the future out of the deal though and I am not suprised JR Smtih did nto een make it to training camp, he does not like to play defense, so he gone.
