Having addressed their one weakness by signing Rip Hamilton, there's no reason to think the Bulls won't at least equal last season's efforts. This team could still win 50 games despite the 66-game regular season. more ›

With the 28th and 30th picks in tonight's NBA Draft, don't expect the Bulls to find an impact player in the first round. more ›

The NBA announced this morning that Bulls GM Gar Forman was named Executive of the Year in a tie with Miami Heat president Pat Riley. more ›

As we mentioned yesterday afternoon, just prior to the start of the NBA Draft the Bulls agreed to send Kirk Hinrich and their first round pick to the Washington Wizards. The Bulls get a future second round pick in return, but the move was made explicitly to clear up even more room under the salary cap. As a result, the selection of Frenchman Kevin Seraphin doesn't mean much -- he was likely drafted at Washington's request, and will officially go to the Wizards on July 8 when the deal can be completed. more ›

While his hiring won't be officially announced until after the conclusion of the NBA FInals, the Bulls and Celtics assistant head coach Tom Thibodeau have reached a deal for him to become the Bulls next head coach, with a three year deal worth approximately $6.5 million. Perhaps Thibodeau does not have the head coaching experience many thought the Bulls desired, but he has been an NBA assistant for 18 years with seven teams (the past three with the Celtics), and plenty of experience coaching in the playoffs. Back when the Bulls hired Vinny Del Negro in 2008 Thibodeau's name regularly came up in discussions, and we thought Bulls management was foolish for not waiting to interview Thibodeau before making their decision. With the Celtics winning the NBA title that season, the Bulls chose to hire VDN before the playoffs ended rather than wait to interview the guy that was perhaps the best available candidate. Better late than never, the Bulls finally had a chance to interview Thibodeau this time around and decided to hire him after that meeting. more ›

Vinny Del Negro is out as Bulls coach. With a big free agent market coming this off-season, who will the Bulls go after to coach the team now? more ›

Turns out that the rumors we'd heard over the past couple weeks were true. On the first day that NBA teams could make offers to free agents, the Detroit Pistons lured Ben Gordon away from the Bulls. Gordon reportedly agreed to a five-year deal worth between $55 and $60 million. While the Bulls claimed to want to retain Gordon, and Gordon stated his desire to remain in Chicago, he sure didn't waste much time in signing elsewhere. more ›

Heading into Thursday night's NBA draft, the Bulls were looking for some help with their inside scoring and some depth in the backcourt. When the night was over, they had addressed the first need twice over while neglecting the other entirely. more ›

Last year, the Bulls were sitting pretty with the top overall pick in the draft. And while some thought they should pick power forward Michael Beasley, the Bulls seem to have made the right call with their selection of point guard Derrick Rose. Not only did he take home the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy as the league's top rookie, he also helped the Bulls return to the playoffs -- where they played an epic series against Boston. As such, the Bulls avoided the draft lottery this year, and don't make their first pick in the 2009 draft until midway through the first round, at the 16th spot. The Bulls -- on account of trading Thabo Sefelosha to Oklahoma City -- also have the 26th pick. So with newly promoted GM Gar Forman running his first draft, we're interested to see what the Bulls can do to improve the team. more ›

With the NBA free agency period still a couple weeks away, and the NBA draft upcoming as well, it may still be premature to speculate on where players might end up. And yet rumors have surfaced that the Bulls' Ben Gordon, an unrestricted free agent, may be atop the wish list for the Detroit Pistons. Sam Smith, on his Bulls.com blog, reported that the Pistons are ready to offer the Bulls guard an $11 million a year deal when the free agency period begins on July 1. more ›

Rumors swirled, in the weeks leading up to the NBA trading deadline, that John Paxson was on his way out the door as Bulls GM. Instead, he remained in the Bulls front off and managed to pull off three trades that turned the Bulls' season around and propelled them into the playoffs. more ›
