08.15.10Watching Omer Asik for a first timeBy Philip Kay While vacationing in Europe, I see an advertisement for the Germany-Turkey friendly and automatically think of Omer Asik. I've never seen him play in live action before, so I obviously was pretty excited. When I first see Asik, I look at his size. Tall guy, but he needs to bulk up as we all know. It looks as if he's been working on his shoulders, but there needs to be more muscle. He's going up against Tibor Pleiss, Oklahoma City's second round pick of this years draft. The game starts and Asik scores the first 8 points for Turkey. The ...

08.14.10Bulls need to add West or FernandezBy Philip Kay As we all know, the Bulls need to get some perimeter shooting in their lineup. Rose, Noah, Boozer, and Deng are all locks to start, so the three point shooting needs to come from the off guard position. Two players that come to mind are free agent Delonte West and the disgruntled Blazer, Rudy Fernandez. After a promising rookie year, things went down hill for Rudy Fernandez and he fell out of favor in Portland. Already having to play behind Brandon Roy, the Blazers signed Matthews Jr. to a big deal, leading to Fernandez demanding a trade. There was ...

07.23.10The T-Mac PossibilityBy James Lauren We've heard it all about bringing T-mac in (or actually not bringing him in). He will un-do all the good things about this summer! He will be a disaster! He would disrupt team chemistry and play! He wont play defense! He wont work out hard! Hes a prima donna! He doesnt care about winning, hes a loser! Hes all about "I"! He runs his mouth too much! He's done! But before we sign Keith Bogans, lets look at the situation a little more. We can SAY all we want, but the fact of the matter is, the Bulls are bringing T-Mac in to ...

07.18.10Bulls should consider adding ShaqBy Philip Kay With Brad Miller signing a 3 year 15 million dollar contract with the Houston Rockets, the Bulls are left without a quality backup center. Though Omer Asik could turn into a solid NBA player, chances are he's not ready to take on big minutes this year. Options such as Kurt Thomas have been discussed, but no other remaining free agent could have as big of an impact as Shaq. Shaq's options are diminishing with Atlanta stating they have no interest in signing him and Dallas already having Brendan Haywood and Tyson Chandler at the center position. If Shaq really ...

07.16.10Bulls sign Ronnie BrewerThe Chicago Bulls have reached a 3 year, 12 million dollar deal with Ronnie Brewer. This is a good, quick signing for the Bulls on the day that Orlando matched the offer to J.J. Redick. The Bulls were in talks Orlando's Matt Barnes and Jason Williams. Barnes looks less likely now with the signing of Brewer. By Tech 7.16.10 1:05 p.m

07.07.10Carlos Boozer: Not a free agency failureBy Philip Kay As we complete the first week of free agency, we still have nearly as much uncertainty as we did in the first week. The big three are still out there, while backup options such as Amar'e Stoudemire and Joe Johnson have made commitments elsewhere. If Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh choose to go somewhere other than Chicago, the Bulls would likely be left with Carlos Boozer and someone like J.J. Redick or Anthony Morrow. There is a huge dropoff in talent, but the worse case scenario does not mean failure. Carlos Boozer, a 28 year old power ...

06.28.10Free Agency Rumor MadnessBy James Lauren Okay, so a few days ago we had Lebron and Bosh coming to the Bulls as a done deal, now they're headed to Miami. We're also 100% sure that we're 50% sure Lebron is staying in Cleveland. Which crazy rumor will be next? As much as Tech is plugged in, even he admits its impossible for any person to say who is going where as "fact", its just ridiculous to claim at this point! I doubt the players have even made a decision on where to go, yet everyone wants to put their say as to what is "going to happen". Every sports writer wants the ...
