And what an era it’s been! The Bulls and Knicks, according to reports, are in talks about a trade package that would include Al Harrington and the rotting corpse of one Jerome James. Yes, James is apparently still considered an NBA player.

It matters in that it follows that this Bulls team is not likely to perform up to a .500 record the rest of the way at this current level. But even with Thomas and Hinrich's absence bringing this team's performance down to far below average, their record is still 6-8, and the games they've lost so far on the trip were games they wouldn&#3...

Earlier today I went out and said that I was pretty sure that Tyrus Thomas was being a baby with his latest injury as just another reaction to him losing playing time this season. Thomas hurt his arm while working out at the Berto Center on Friday morning, and I thought he may have been embelleshing the extent of his injury to make some kind of point.

X-rays confirmed the injury and he will undergo surgery tomorrow. Thomas is expected to be out four to six weeks. Ugh, this is pretty crappy news. Tyrus was around 50% of all my Bulls enjoyment right about now (which was at about 34% overall enjoyment as it was). I may get more into this over the weekend, but no matter your feeling...

Everything published Thursday morning mentions Thomas's illness as just an illness. But just days before, it was instead 'the flu', as Sun-Times beat writer John Jackson called it. Si...
