Guess who's back?
CHICAGO, IL: Missed my articles? Yeah, neither did I.
But, whatever. The Chicago Bulls are back into the spotlights. After starting (sucking) the season at 9-7, an uncommon pattern for a team who lost 59 games in the last 3 seasons, Beck grew so much impatient he just rushed one of the multiple trade talks happening behind the scenes, morphing it into a concrete deal.
"Yeah, it's done, I've heard it." said Bulls' insider K.C. Johnson from the Chicago Tribune. "What I've heard is that someone extremely missed since the day he left is about to come back."
That does not say too much about it, though, as the Bulls have a history of big deals since Marcos' first days at the office. For example, Chicago has already traded Mike Conley, Jrue Holiday, Avery Bradley and Gary Harris, just to name a few players that would be missed at any team they left. Also, fan favorite Taj Gibson, defensive monster Trevor Ariza and polarizing star forward Kevin Love wore the red uniform from the Windy City, not to mention some fantastic role players such as RJ Hunter, Tyler Ennis and Danny Green (and lots of other good ones forgotten by the writer).
"It's hard to say who they are after because.. Marcos must have completed more than 50 deals already since he entered the league. So many have come and go and were missed after that, so many players would fit like a glove if they came back. But I've heard the guy is coming to start, brings enough D and good shooting to space the floor, Chicago's biggest weakness so far this year." completed Johnson in another of his tweets.
Now, Chicago focus it's efforts on trying to find another prized shooter to come off the bench, with Lance Stephenson being the shopped asset. But Chicago has finally given Stephenson the chance to start and he looked very good playing against the Wizards last night, enough to make them look twice before trading him.
"Yes, we had an offer for Lance, after all, he's a 20 point per game machine, he can D, he's disciplined, he's a very good asset to have. We were going to take an offer for an elite 3&D player but with him starting now, we just do not feel that's the correct move to pursue. We're very happy with Lance's production off the bench and will only trade him for real value. No discount, for sure."
Who's coming back and will Lance be dealt after day 30? Leave your comment!
