Von Wafer was released from his contract with Olympiakos. I think he's a chucker and had a fluke year, but our current team sucks.

Omer Asik out for two months with an injured collar bone.

[From the FanShots. Not good news that Deng still isn't ready to play. Though it's better than an unnecessary risk of re-injury -ed.]

The Bulls insist Deng is not fit enough to play for GB. If we weren't overpaying Deng, I would say let him do what he wants, but he's making WAY too much money, to get injured playing for another team.

It's a funny article on NBA contract incentives. For those who don't know how contract incentives count against the cap, it mostly depends on how likely they are to be achieved.

Quoted:
"Most of these provisions -- incentives, they call them -- pertain to team goals (victories, playoff achievement, etc.), which is fine, especially if a player has a history of injury. Baron Davis, for example, gets $1 million just for playing 70 games and leading his team to victory in at least 30 of them.
Really, what's better than going 30-50 [sic], and then watching Donald Sterling's head explode by forcing him to hand over an extra million as a reward for this grand achievement?"

Two different sources have indicated to NBADraft.net on Friday that the Pistons have a promise in place to take BJ Mullens if he's available to the them at 15

[Update 6/9: shot down by Gordon's agent. (via BG's publicist) -ed.]

I tend to doubt it, but if this rumor is being floated by his agent, then I am guessing BG is not getting the offers he wants.

Evidently the Chicago Tribune is starting up a website dedicated to sports called "Chicago Now." Doug's going to be one of the (the only?) bloggers for the Bulls.
The website requires a log-in to read because it is still in its infant stages (ie. don't contact them if something doesn't work and it might be too early to create login profiles). I contacted Doug and he said he did not mind if the login information was shared with the broader Blog A Bull community.
