First All-Star Tallies are in: Rose is 5th in the East in Guard voting

Luol Deng is 10th among forwards...and the Joakim write in campaign could use some help...things out West are crazy, TMEC (Tracy McGrady Expiring Contract) is second among guards even though he has not played all season.

Bucher: Joakim called Lebron a bitch.

Fitting, because Lebron was acting like one last night...

Kirk Hinrich could be out "awhile"

Kirk Hinrich could be out "awhile"

[From the fanshots. Another, more pessimistic update on Hinrich from KC Johnson. We've seen the Bulls bungle a diagnosis just last season with Deng, so tough to speculate anything accurately until we actually see Hinrich practicing and playing again. They have to seriously consider signing any guard, though that'd imply they were ever serious about this season (they weren't). -ed.]

Not good news with Pargo nursing a sore shoulder and the oldest player in the NBA as the other back-up. KC mentions several crappy veterans that could be signed in his absence...Szczberiak, Daniels or Stackhouse...Dispels any thoughts of A.I. coming to town...

Why is no one mentioning Rashad McCants? He would be a good fit... [ed. note: McCants is supposedly a beyond-jerkish jerkface. I suppose it's possible being shut out of the league after posting good numbers as a 24 year old could humble him. -yfbb]

Big deal or no?

I tend to think not, though D'Antoni blew a fuse, somewhat symbolic of the season the Knicks are having.

With Thomas is out, coach Vinny Del Negro said the Bulls are discussing whether to bring in another player. His injury could also create an opportunity for rookie James Johnson(notes)

Derrick Byars made the opening night roster

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

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.

Del Negro thinks Salmons offers more versatility than Gordon.

What did you expect him to say?
