Chicago Bulls Beat

The players and owners are close on money, but they're now battling it out over structure. J.R. Smith officially signs in China limiting the Bulls choices at SG.

I discuss the latest power meetings of the collective bargaining agreement as well as attempting to read the tea leaves of various players actions, quotes, and everything going on with the new CBA. I also discuss the potential impact of J.R. Smith possibly signing with the Chinese Basketball Association.

I briefly discuss the Bulls at Eurobasket, the disappointing results of the power meeting with the union and Stern, and why the Bulls need to figure out how to get more from their frontcourt in next year's playoffs.

I discuss why and how the Chicago Bulls should go all in to win the NBA title as soon as possible.

I discuss the hour long David Stern interview on the Bill Simmons article and tell you why Jerry Reinsdorf choosing Krause actually enhanced the legacy of Phil Jackson and Micahel Jordan as well as discussing whether we'd really do anything to land Dwight Howard.

I discuss the inductions of Tex Winter, Artis Gilmore, and Dennis Rodman into the hall of fame and give a brief update on the CBA talks.

The NBA owners have sued the players, and while it may sound crazy, it's a great move for the owners. Meanwhile I spend some time talking about the Bulls front court rather than just the shooting guard position.

All collective bargaining agreements aren't made equal. I discuss why the CBA you want as a Bulls fan may not be fair for everyone, and why I blame the owners, yet want them to win the negotiation.

I discuss some heresay rumors about Derrick Rose as well as some more talk about the collective bargaining agreement.

I discuss Jason Richardson vs J.R. Smith as well as the overall Bulls roster construction at the guard position going into next season.

I discuss why the CBA won't have any significant movement in discussions until September, how RDA isn't quite the monster we though it was, and where the players and owners need to meet to get a deal done. In addition to that I discuss which teams are hurt most by the lockout and whether or not the Bulls will be able to win a title in a post lockout NBA.

I discuss the NBA lockout, what needs to happen for it to end, some thoughts on the CBA and how to improve the league.
