========================================================== =============
Easy win over Detroit,till now i haven't played against any of the "big" names of the league though.

[Andrew]

Another impressive win. How's Korver performing from downtown?

[George7]

He's pretty good on the open field on mid and long range,though still couldn't hit 3s adequately. But his numbers are getting better and better everytime

Bulls,Pistons shake their rosters,trade Miller for Gordon


The Bulls are really active on the market at the start of the season and they're trying to fill the holes thay hadn't filled in the pre-season,especially the SG one.
After the trade of Jannero Pargo for Larry Hughues,the Bulls add another one past member of the Bulls in the SG position,one of the favourites of the last years,Ben Gordon,reuniting a part of the core which played the dramatic series with the Boston Celtics,back at the 1st round of the 2008 NBA Playoffs.
The two players involved in the trade had already made some statements on the press about their new destinations.
"I'm really glad i came back to Chicago.The last season didn't go that well and obviously the return at the city and the team where I was playing all those years on my NBA career,will really give me a big lift.I assure you that i'll make a big try to help the team,along with my teammates,old and new,to take the team as high as we can"Ben Gordon said.
"That wasn't something I would expect to happen any time soon,but this new start will be helpful not only for my new team,but for me as well.I want to wish the best of lucks to my old teammates and to say that I want to make a contribution to my new team as soon as possible"Brad Miller stated.
Sam Smith,the bulls.com insider stated his opinion about the move for the Bulls side.
"This is a rather interesting move for the Bulls.From the one side,they managed to fill the SG position hole ,with the acquisition of Ben Gordon,who is,as many can realise from his first period at the Bulls,a reliable shooter and a great help for any PG in the offense,as he is an instant danger for the opposition.This will help Rose to have more space for his own and create even more chances amd with his current stellar form ,can be even better on his game.
But this leaves a bench gap on the C position.Brad Miller was a great tool for the team.He was a great backup for Noah,really experienced with perfect long range shooting for a Center.Rattlif isn't anywhere near that standard,and the Bulls need something better from my point of view"

The Bulls may lose a 10 million salary cap space for the next offseason,but will have a great addition for now which will help them at their try for a success in the playoffs

============================================================================
Your thoughts on the trade?

[Martti.]

A bit out of balance I would say..

[Bucket]

Ben Gordon, reuniting a part of the core which played the dramatic series with the Boston Celtics,back at the 1st round of the 2008 NBA Playoffs.

2008?

Like the Gordon addition, but you have a lot SG,SF and PG.

[George7]

Yeah,that's why i'm on the look for trading Devin Brown or James Johnson for a Center

[Murat]

Good luck at your dynasty!

[Wyze]

Not liking that win over Toronto

[George7]

I thought about that.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I like that acquisition a little better.

[Murat]

Andrew had an avatar that it includes BG7. I visit there for 4 years... I remember

[George7]

Badger,I'm a big fan of BG7 too. Some will remember it

[iamamac]

Why is Rose the leader in points every single game?! Give others a chance , it makes Rose look selfish and the game boring. Make your games more realistic and colorful .

[Martti.]

I played with Rose in Live 08 during the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge. He had a quadruple-double so I know it's easy to dominate with him.
