brad the bull?
The Bulls have other options - most notably trying to see if the Clippers will make Chris Kaman available - but this deal with the Kings is starting to make more sense as the season wears on. Both franchises will be committed to these large salaries anyway and swapping these players may actually help.

tuesday's worst

still managed a W -
''It was an ugly win, but we got it done,'' said Drew Gooden, who returned to the lineup after eight games due to a sprained right ankle and had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Calling the recent stretch of six losses in seven games and three consecutive dreadful performances "a little slippage" is like saying Gooden's beard is normal. Even in victory, the Bulls weren't exactly doing cartwheels over their performance.

rookie wall?
In the last three games, standout Chicago Bulls rookie Derrick Rose is averaging just over two assists per game and shooting only 39.5% from the field. Take away a hot second half Saturday night against the Timberwolves, and he's only scored 14 total points in the two games preceding the embarrassing home loss.
gooden might play v. the kings tonight, so that could take some offensive pressure off the backcourt
home and road, the bull are the most watched team in the association

random bull
scathing review of the organization (highlights below) ...
I’m thoroughly convinced that John Paxson and owner Jerry Reinsdorf are incapable of wiping their asses after taking huge shits after shits on this franchise.
...
D-Lightning doesn’t deserve any of this. What did he do so badly in life to be put on this crappy organization? There are so many better things to do than watching the Bulls play to lose. Go play in traffic, piss on snow, throw darts, go clubbing, smoke weed, whoop that trick, lift weights, or simply watch the games from home. How stupid can they be? I mean, really.
...
Pax recreated what he inherited. He basically recreated the 2003 Bulls except they have Derrick Rose. Any other GM would have been fired. It’s time to step down Pax because you compounded the mistakes by recreating this crap.
...
Just as bad as last season except Rose is entertaining to watch. Just like Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich selling Obama’s senate seat, Jerry Reinsdork sold the coach’s seat to the cheapest bidder, rookie Vinnie Del Negro.
Opposing defenses have focused all season on containing the Bulls' potent backcourt of Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon. The duo accounts for nearly 40 points per game, and each is shooting better than 45 percent.
The Bulls are floundering, as anyone unfortunate enough to witness Saturday night’s 102-92 loss to the hapless Timberwolves can attest. With the exception of the continued development of rookie phenom Derrick Rose, the Bulls remain the same nameless, faceless bunch that they were last season.

great summary ...
... from blogabull
Because honestly: Rose is tremendous, Gordon's playing some of the best ball of his career, Tyrus has had a very solid December (even when not getting his minutes jerked around for 'matchups'), Noah's actually doing better this season than last (when he was that crappy team's MVP)...get Deng back (and involved), make a trade for any vet big man who can clog the lane and hit a jumper (hell, I'd settle for either of those things), and trade away (or at the least, de-emphasize) the nonessential and mostly harmful contributions of Hughes, Nocioni, etc...and this team is pretty good.
