It's time to start looking to the future.

There are some interesting names out there even though the Chicago Bulls don't pick till 17th, overall.

On a day that has Michael McCaskey retiring and getting replaced by his younger brother George, and the day after the Bears schedule is released, the Blackhawks lose to the seventh-seed Nashville Predators, and LeBron James gushes about how awesome Chicago is, we have news that trumps all those stories.

Looking Into the Chicago Bulls Roster for the 2010-2011 Season
Posted: 18th April 2010 by John Hatelak in NBA
Getting into the Chicago Bulls to-do list this off-season, I've decided to research the possibilities of the how's and why's. There likely will have to be another trade if the Bulls can sign a top free agent, and a complementary one this off-season.
The Bulls, although having the money to do both player signings, still have to have some money left over to sign their draft pick if ...
NBA Free Agency: LeBron James Shouldn’t Be Chicago’s Top Target This Offseason
Posted: 16th April 2010 by John Hatelak in NBA
In an offseason as monumental as this coming one, big franchise-shaping decisions will be made. Before these decisions, however, comes the necessity of hatching a highly-crafted, well thought out plan, and then comes the execution of the plan. The Bulls have done that and put themselves in position to reel in one of the big-fish free agents in this historic class.

THE GOOD
When John Paxson took over in 2003 the organization was a mess.

Those are just some of ...

Posted: 13th April 2010 by John Hatelak in NBA
Nothing says, "Come join my team and inherit fame and fortune beyond your wildest imagination by winning championships and dominating the East for an entire decade," like having a highlight reel-filled game on national television.
Okay, I admit it. I'm embellishing a little. Especially about the fame and fortune part. I think all those guys have that covered already. Especially after this upcoming offseason.
Derrick Rose had 39 big points in ...
This is an offseason that just keeps giving storyline after storyline.
Will Martz and Cutler find a connection, and live happily ever after? (organ note) Daaaaaaaaaaah!
Will the young receiver group be able to adapt to the complex Martz-timing offense? Daaaaaaaaaaah!
Will Matt Forte' rebound from a sub par sophomore year, and give the Bears one of the best one-two running back punches in the NFL? Daaaaaaaaaaah!
Will Rod Marinelli be able to ...
All of us who saw the game know how well Alfonso Soriano played in the outfield today. So does Uncle Lou, apparently; In his post game comments to the press he said, "Obviously if we're not scoring runs we'll have to put our best defense out there, that's for sure." Get ready for the possibility of a heavy dose of Tyler Colvin, and/or Xavier Nady in the days ahead. ...
