Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has been rewarded with a five-year extension worth $94 million.
Rose, who is from Chicago, has become one of the stars of the league and clearly the team leader.
The deal works well for both sides, as Chicago locks up its star and Rose gets great financial security and stability.
The Bulls likely saw how the Chris Paul situation developed and didn’t want a similar problem down the road with Rose. (Read More…)

The Chicago Bulls may have seen their NBA title hopes go up in smoke in a 101-93 overtime loss to the Miami Heat.
Chicago jumped out to an 11-point lead in the first quarter only to watch Miami score eight unanswered to close the gap.
The Bulls took a narrow lead into halftime and increased in slightly heading into the fourth quarter, but they just couldn’t make it happen in crunch time.
LeBron James was simply too much, finishing with 35 points. The Bulls continue to struggle shooting from the outside, and Miami’s interior defense has stepped it up significantly since their embarassing loss in the series opener. (Read More…)

Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer broke his right hand and is expected to be sidelines for at least eight weeks.
The injury will require surgery after breaking the fifth metacarpal in his hand. He said the injury occurred when he tripped over a bag and fell.
It’s certainly not good news for the Bulls, who acquired Boozer in the offseason and will now miss him for the first month of the regular season.
He was the team’s top offseason acquisition, and it won’t help that the Bulls won’t have him to try and build team chemistry to start the year. (Read More…)

The point guard is playing with Team USA this summer and wants to carry his defensive effort over into the NBA season.
Rose is plenty athletic and has a big wingspan for a guard, giving him a good body for a defender. (Read More…)
