More interesting tidbits from Ben:

"I think the way everything went down, they knew exactly what they were doing with each player," Gordon said. "I just thought at the end of the day, they thought Lu was a better investment for them.

"Somebody had to get the money and it didn't get split down the middle. It was definitely a tough situation. I just think it was kind of an odd situation."

[From the FanShots. Not that Gordon would out himself and his agents as cheating the system, but it was worth a shot. -ed.]

KC titled his piece "Ben Gordon says he wants to stay with Chicago Bulls" and I have no clue why. Ben says nothing like that at all in the article...on the other hand, he didn't say the opposite either...but still...KC is a dum dum (The title's since been changed -ed.)

Argie Grigorakos in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
Hey Coach, If you had Joakim Noah to help this summer, in what areas would you coach him in? Also what mechanical exercises would you use to help his jumpshot improve.

Mike Moreau:
Joakim is already in our gym. He arrived yesterday and put in a full day's work on his post game and shooting form. He is an inspiration to all of our young aspiring pros after just one day! Stay tuned!

It's the offseason...

It's also almost certain the Bulls' coaching staff will undergo a small makeover. Pete Myers' contract is up and his future role is uncertain.

==============================

So is this kinda like a "Tyrus, who will be shopped..." thing?

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled to be at the Pepsi Center in Denver next Monday night.

"That's what we intend to do," he said. "We're going to show up."

Kinda a lot of hearsay...but take it for what it's worth.
