Nene Hilario is traded to the Bulls


After some discussions,the Bulls decided to send Aaron Gray and Brad Miller + 1st Round Draft Pick to the Nuggets in exchange of Nene Hilario.The Bulls GM said that he is seeing a lot of potential in Nene."We really want to make our team better..Brad was just not the person who we want to have.Nene will bring more power and more defense in our team !"Meanwhile the Bulls signed Cuttino Mobley on a 1 year deal.

Nice beginning, great addition in Nene

Redd was "Redd-hot"!



Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks played a nice game in the opening of the new season.The Bucks win it 99 to 91.In the first it seems like the Bulls are going to kill Milwaukee with 35 to 19 and 53 to 38 at the half.But then it was Redd's moment,he scored 26 of his 28 points in the second half to give Bucks the win.30 to 17 in the 3rd and 31-22 in the 4th.In the 4th Redd scored 14 points in a row for his team.He just couldn't miss.He also added 5 assists and 3 rebounds.Richard Jefferson was helping him.He finished with 21 points,5 rebounds and 7 assists.Luke Ridnour played also a nice game with 13 points(6-8) and 11 assists.
It wasn't Ben Gordon's day.After 6 points in the first and perfect 3-3,he finished with 13 points and 4-12 from the field.He added 6 assists.The newcomer,Nene Hilario,was the best for the Bulls with 22 points,6 rebounds and 2 steals.The number 1 draft pick,Derrick Rose scored 15 points,3 rebounds and 5 assists in his debut but he made 7 TOs.Tyrus Thomas scored 13 points and he also grabbed 8 rebounds.Luol Deng scored only 9 and John Salmons- 7.
After the game Ben Gordon didn't even get in the bathroom with his teammates and he didn't talk to anyone..not only the players but the coach and the press.Some people are saying that this was his last match as a Bull.Is that true ?
In other games tonight the Celtics beat the Cavs 120 to 107 and the Lakers smashed Blazers 122 - 101.

Ray Allen is a Bull !?!?!


Today the Chicago Bulls announced their new player.Everybody were waiting..when the door had opened."Hey..shhht..is this Ray Allen ?! Oh my god,this is Ray Allen!!!" - That were the words from the chairs of the journalists.No one believed what was happening..what is Ray doing here ?!The General Manager said that Ray will play for the Bulls from now on.But who was traded to Celtics that was the biggest question.Everyone knows that one of the persons was Ben Gordon but come ooon..Gordon for Allen,Danny Ainge isn't so stupid!
"So..you know that Ben Gordon was leaving the Bulls..that was a public secret.From some months we were talking to him and trying to keep him here but he wants more money and we couldn't give him what he wants.So before his contract was expired we decided to trade him.I think his new team has a lot of chance to bring the championship again and that's good for him.The Celtics are the best team in the league i think.Kirk Hinrich will also follow him.We have too many point guards and i want to play more Derrick Rose.I think Rose is the future of our team!In the face of Ray we had amazing talent.One of the best players in the league..a sharpshooter!He played for the Bucks,then Sonics,Celtics and now he's here!With a lot of pleasure i present you the new player of the Chicago Bulls - RAY ALLEN !!!" - that were the words of the GM.
Ray Allen didn't talk on this conference because he had to go to practice and the press will talk to him after.

Rose's heroics led Bulls to victory.


The Chicago Bulls beat the Celtics in very dramatic game.After the nice 1st half for the Bulls they led with 5 points but in the 3rd the Celtics turn the game to their side.In the 4th it was all square.It was like "Celtics score,Bulls score,Celtics Score,Bulls score...".But in the last 3 minutes it was the Rose Moment.He scored the last 10 points for his team and gave them the win.It was 103 to 101 for Bulls with 18 seconds left when John Salmons made a turnover but the Bulls couldn't score.In the next attack Rose was fouled and he scored 1-from-2.
7 players of the Bulls had more than 10 points.Derrick Rose finished with 20 points,7 assists,2 rebounds,2 steals and 2 blocks.Nene recorded a double double with 15 points and 12 rebounds.John Salmons also scored 15.Tyrus Thomas played a nice game again with 14 points,8 rebounds and 4 blocks.Ray Allen finished with 10 points and 5 rebounds but he went on a awful 3-17 from the field.The other players who surpassed the 10 points were Anthony Roberson and Luol Deng.
Eddie House scored 17 points for Celtics.The former Bulls,Hinrich and Gordon,scored 15 points each.Garnett had 15.

Fans want Kobe !!!



In today's game with Magic,the Bulls fans had all the day chants Kobe's name.It seems like they want him and the politic of the Bulls is to make what the fans want.So there are some talks about a trade with Ray Ray who just arrived here.So..we'll see in the next days what will happen..is Kobe headed to the Bulls !?
Anyway the Bulls win 94 to 83.The Bulls played a solid second half..they won the 3rd 33 to 19 and after that they had a nice lead.Ray Allen scored 22 points for them.He also added 3 rebounds and 3 assists.Nene finished with 17 points.The rookie Derrick Rose made a nice game with 15 points,5 rebounds,7 assists and 2 steals.The rookie from Memphis shows that he might win the ROY award.Luol Deng added 11.
For Magic Dwight Howard scored 18 points and 8 rebounds.Mickael Pietrus finished with 17.Hidayet Turkoglu added 15 but they weren't enough for the Magic.
And so..the big answer is..is Kobe becoming the new player of the Bulls ?!

KOBE IS WITH BULLS !!!


Today was announced that the last year MVP of the season Kobe Bryant,will now play in the Chicago Bulls.It was a shocking news for everyone in the world !Ray Allen + Tim Thomas + Some Draft Picks for Kobe..that is amazing !Ray Allen played only 2 games before traded again.Kobe will play with number 10 because Tyrus Thomas is playing with 24.Kobe said that he's happy about he's arriving..he's happy about playing in a club that is so legendary.He said that is too hard to leave the Lakers."There's my heart..there i won championships..there i won the MVP..there i scored 81 points..there i played so many games..but now i will take on a new trip..its a new adventure for me.I'll play alongside with one of the best young players in the league i mean Derrick..i know him,he's really nice player.With the amazing Cuttino Mobley..with Luol Deng..Ty Thomas..Nene..yeah..this is a nice team..but the time will show what are going to make.Thank you,see ya on next Bulls game !!!"

[kibaxx7]

Wow Kobe... so what's your starting lineup now?

[rob_tc]

interesting, i'll be following. however, how's the roster looking now? it seems too good to be true - did they really give you kobe for ray, thomas and a few draft picks? or do you have trade override on?

anyhow, i really like the nene trade, seemed like the most realistic. the ray allen trade was also a good one, even though i would've either kept gordon (seeing as he's a younger, bit less talented version of ray allen - same size, good outside shooters only gordon is more streaky, whereas allen is more consistent) or brought an equally talented young player for the future. however, it's definitely an upgrade and it seems it opened your doors into bringing kobe to the bulls. i hope you really worked out the trade and not forced it.

can you also post what difficulty, minutes and settings you're using?

[Petro]

Kobe in Bulls,hehe,i was reading about that solution like 2 years ago but Kobe was unhappy at that time.Unrealistic to me,but everything is possible.I want to see your starting lineup too.Good luck

[mvanchev]
