2012 was an "interesting" year for the Bulls. There was a lockout followed by a high-speed free agency period that saw Richard "Rip" Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons shed the Red and Blue for the Red and Black, and then a 66-game regular season that saw the Bulls finish with the NBA's best record for the second straight season. But during that second straight season, we rarely saw Derrick Rose, the reigning league MVP, in his MVP form. We...

Veteran point guards will surely consider the Chicago Bulls as a preferred landing spot because the Windy City provides both playing time and playoff aspirations.Not too many teams could offer those two opportunities.Derrick Rose, who tore the ACL in his left knee, will be out eight to 12 months as he recovers from the severe injury. Even when Rose does return (which could be the All-Star break or later), the Bulls will limit his play to fixed...  

This won't be the Phoenix Suns trying to learn to play basketball, this is a team ready for a player to quarterback their offense. Basketball-wise, Nash fits in too. This is a team that has players who can play offense, but few players who can create their ...
