Derrick Byars made the opening night roster

[Congrats to Derrick Byars. Bulls will undoubtedly keep that last roster spot open -ed.]

Mr. Insignificant has a non-guaranteed contract...and as a bonus he wears #7 and is tall...how will Vinny remember which Derrick's name he is calling?

Deng Injured Again in Minnesota

KC Johnson buries this in the article...

Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said Deng would have played more but he dislocated a pinkie that already has been put back in place and isn't serious.

While KC is trying to down play this story, I wonder if Luol will ever be healthy?

Del Negro thinks Salmons offers more versatility than Gordon.

2000-2001 Bulls team - Third worst team of the decade.

2000-2001 Bulls team - Third worst team of the decade.

Remember, the summer of 2000 was supposed to be it. Actually, scratch that, Chicago had big designs on the summer of 1999, if we're honest. And, if we're to be completely accurate, the summer of 1998 was supposed to see all sorts of free agents flock to Chicago to eat up the team's cap space. The summer of 1998 didn't happen, for anyone. GM Jerry Krause saw the writing on the wall when most FAs signed with their old teams for more money in the truncated post-lockout offseason, and after talking up the 1999 offseason, he decided to make a few more cap-clearing moves and parlay that money (and two lottery picks) to the 2000 offseason.

The return? An out-of-shape Brad Miller(notes), Ron Mercer, Jamal Crawford(notes) and Marcus Fizer. Fifteen wins, losing by an average of 9.1 points per game.

I am surprised more Bulls teams didn't make it...
