Most Appearances in the NBA Finals
Two relatively young franchises will meet in the 2013 NBA finals; the Miami Heat, making it for the fourth time in franchise history, and the Spurs, making it for a fifth time, hoping to keep their perfect record. Both of them haven’t been around as long as the teams with the most appearances have, especially not the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.

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

Chicago Bulls Hoping Derrick Rose is the NBA’s Version of Adrian Peterson
The new word in the lexicon for the Chicago Bulls? Proprioception. Derrick Rose is at 100%, at least in health, after deciding not to play in the NBA this season and give his body a little bit more time to get used to the new situation. The Chicago Bulls are hoping that he has some Adrian Peterson in him.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Will Use Amnesty Clause on Carlos Boozer
While there have been denials from the Chicago Bulls regarding the prospect of them using the amnesty clause on Carlos Boozer heading into the 2013-2014 NBA season, it’s hard not to think that might be a sensible course of action for them.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Might Trade Luol Deng
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.

Chicago Bulls Don’t Have Room for Nate Robinson Anymore
Some might argue that without Nate Robinson, the Chicago Bulls don’t make it out of their first round series against the Brooklyn Nets. But Robinson was a third option at point guard to begin with, and all the scoring and late-game heroics in the world won’t change that fact that with Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich signed for next year, not to mention developing rookie point guard Marquis Teague, there’s not much of a future for him in Chicago.

Chicago Bulls – Carlos Boozer, Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah & Nate Robinson Have Nothing to Be Ashamed Of
For the second time in three years, the Chicago Bulls lose to the Miami Heat in a playoff series, both of them lasting only 5 games. Yet with so many injuries to begin with, from Derrick Rose to Luol Deng and finishing with Kirk Hinrich, the effort, heart, sacrifice and ability that Carlos Boozer, Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah and Nate Robinson have shown in this postseason is nothing but commendable.

Chicago Bulls – Nate Robinson Finally Runs Out of Luck & Confidence
At some point, you can’t cover up for all those missing players, including Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich, with a point guard who is too small to make a useful defensive player. Tom Thibodeau looked at his bench and saw players he normally wouldn’t have used, but with Nate Robinson finally have the kind of game a lot of people were predicting he’d have at some point, there wasn’t much of a choice.

LeBron James is Handling a Dirty Chicago Bulls Team the Best Way Possible
If you think LeBron James is a flopper, you’re wrong. He might be selling it in order to make the best of a situation in which the Chicago Bulls have decided the only way they’re getting something out of their series with the Miami Heat is by playing anti-basketball and the hell with everything else, but there’s not much else he can do.
