A number one pick? Still, probably, but maybe not for Cleveland.

NBA Rumors – Cleveland Cavaliers Want to Trade Number One Pick For Luol Deng, Zach Randolph, Thaddeus Young or Ersan Ilyasova

Posted on 30 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Some teams don’t want to make the most of the luck they had, or simply don’t see the draft as the best way to improve. The Cleveland Cavaliers get to pick at number one in the NBA draft for the second time in three years, but the prospect of Nerlens Noel or Otto Porter isn’t that charming, preferring to make a deal with a team for a forward who can put up points, with Luol Deng (Chicago Bulls), Zach Randolph (Memphis Grizzlies), Thaddeus Young (Philadelphia 76ers) and Ersan Ilyasova (Milwaukee Bucks) coming to mind.

Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Might Trade Luol Deng

Posted on 21 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The emergence of Jimmy Butler during his second season, usually at the expense of an injured Luol Deng, has the Chicago Bulls thinking that it might be time to finally pull the trigger on a trade they’ve been considering for a very long time. With Butler on the rise and Deng becoming more and more of a health risk, there’s a chance that before his contract runs out in 2014, the two-time All-Star will find himself on another team. More

Chicago Bulls, Don’t Need Scoring to Succeed

Posted on 26 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

If the games in this series continue to be like this, the Chicago Bulls don’t really need to worry. Despite only 14 points in the fourth quarter and less than 40% from the field, there was just about enough offense from Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng to give them the edge, while the defense of Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler and even Nazr Mohammed held things together to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Bulls vs Nets – Joakim Noah and Ugly Basketball Make the Difference

Posted on 23 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The only way the Chicago Bulls are going to win against anyone in the postseason is by playing their kind of basketball – which means clawing, scratching, hustling, fighting and doing everything that’s not considered a measurable attribute in the sport. With Joakim Noah getting more minutes this time, their brand of basketball was managed to steal home court in game 2. More

Brooklyn Nets – Deron Williams & Brook Lopez Party in the Paint

Posted on 21 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

One of the interesting things about Deron Williams this season is his points per game improvement graph, scoring more and more each month. That didn’t stop in the opening game for the Brooklyn Nets in the playoffs, leading his team, along with Brook Lopez who had too little resistance from the overwhelmed Chicago Bulls under the basket, beginning the franchise’s new postseason history in a perfect way.

Chicago Bulls, a Team No One Wants to Meet in the NBA Playoffs

Posted on 12 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

If a seasonal sweep over the New York Knicks isn’t all the proof you need, I’m not sure what will be. The Chicago Bulls are unpleasant on the eyes, but they get the job done, despite all of the injuries. Carlos Boozer does a better job than most would like to admit. Luol Deng does a little bit of everything all night, every night, while Jimmy Butler is one of the more pleasant surprised to find out about this season. And then there’s Nate Robinson, who forgets sometimes that he isn’t supposed to play like the best player in the NBA. More

Chicago Bulls – Luol Deng & Nate Robinson Thrive When it Matters the Most

Posted on 6 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

For the millionth time – the Chicago Bulls don’t win with efficiently executed offensive basketball. They hustle, grind out gritty wins, who look a little bit easier when someone catches a good shooting day while the defense doesn’t suffer from any meltdowns. And even on a bad day, sometimes, the individual talent of Luol Deng comes out, while the unpredictability of Nate Robinson works in their favor. More

Chicago Bulls – Carlos Boozer Might Give Them Home Court Advantage

Posted on 5 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Despite seeing some of their key players dropping like flies, not to mention still waiting for Derrick Rose to return, the Chicago Bulls aren’t that far away from getting a first round home court advantage in the playoffs, thanks to an impressive double-double from Carlos Boozer, leading to a win over a direct rival for the spot they’ve been after.

Chicago Bulls – Luol Deng Keep a Rivalry Streak Going

Posted on 1 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Fighting, defending and hustling to somehow improve and maybe upgrade their NBA playoffs starting spot, the Chicago Bulls are clawing their way towards home advantage in the first series, as Luol Deng becomes more and more offensively dominant and efficient, something that should have happened earlier this season.

Chicago Bulls – The Perfect Team to Stop LeBron James & Miami Heat

Posted on 28 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

It wouldn’t be accurate to say that the Chicago Bulls stopped LeBron James; they just made life difficult for him and the rest of his teammates with their notoriously good team defense, some exceptional offense from Luol Deng to stop the Miami Heat and their almost NBA record breaking win streak at 27.
