When all was said and done John Paxson and the rest of the Chicago Bulls upper management went with Memphis point guard Derrick Rose. Many would say he wasn’t the best player in the draft and that Micheal Beasley was, or people would tell you Rose is a guy who isn’t going to be a “win now” player. Well I’m going to say the complete opposite and tell you that Rose is the guy who will be a win now player. Two season’s ago the Bulls won 49 games. You don’t win 49 games by chance. This Bulls team is still really the same team and has only built more experience in over this time.

The Chicago Bulls have placed an offer on the table to the Phoenix Suns assistant general manager Vinney Del Negro who is ready to snatch that offer off the table, according to reports from the Chicago Tribune and The Associated Press.

Sunday, the 25th of May, Bulls’ Center Joakim Noah was cited for an open-container violation and subsequent to that citation, was discovered to have been carrying marijuana. He had not spoken as of the following Monday night, but many people are already speculating as to what the league and the Bulls will have to say (or do) about the matter. For the record, league rules mandate that any time a player is caught with marijuana or any other drug, they must gain some form of drug counseling. But what will the immediate impact be of this potential devastating turn of events?

Follwing the honorary sacrifice of the 2007 - 2008 season, the basketball Gods answered Chicago's prayers Tuesday night in the holiest of places, Secaucus, Dirty Jerz, honoring John Paxson with the gift of choice.
