Following a disappointing 2015-16 campaign that saw Chicago miss the playoffs for the first time in 8 years, the Bulls are in for a wild ride of an offseason. Honestly, it’s tough to determine who is exactly safe from being dealt – pretty much everyone on the roster has an uncertain status moving forward. Joakim Noah, the team’s heart and soul for nine years, could … Continue reading “Is Joakim Noah A Goner?”

It’s been awhile since we last checked in on Jeremy Lin and the Charlotte Hornets, who currently sit just half a game behind Miami for third place in the East. It’s been a masterful coaching job by Steve Clifford – he’s molded a ragtag group, led by the always explosive Kemba Walker, into one of the toughest squads in the league.
