SEASON PREVIEW

It's incredible. Greg Anthony is traded to the Chicago Bulls for a future First Round pick.
I'll make a season pre-vieuw right away.

The Chicago Bulls last year:
Elton Brand was the franchise. Fizer didn't REALLY played well, Ron Mercer played good. But the team just sucked. You saw that right. The Bulls had (and still have) a lot of money to buy free-agents. Tim Duncan never wanted to play in Chicago. that's one. Just like Grant Hill. That's two. Tracy McGrady thought about it and said he never want to play with Penny Hardaway's (ex)team. So Tracy visited Chicago, threw the opening pitch of the base-ball team, but never came back to Chicago (as a Bull).That's three. But the last Pre-season was better.

The Chicago Bulls this year:
What was that. Draft-night. A strange night. Elton Brand was traded to the Clippers (Bulls' biggest concurrent for the worst team in the NBA). But the Bulls got: Tyson Chandler. The high-school-stud who almost scored a triple-double per game. And Brian Skinner. Well Brian Skinner is no star, but the Bulls traded Brian Skinner for Charles Oakley. Not bad. The Bulls also selected the player, from wich the scouts said he would be the first pick in the Draft. The best Draft in years by the way. Eddy Curry. And the signed even a third show-man: Eddie Robinson. And now they finally  have a point guard. not a point-guard, no, they have GREG ANTHONY.
Let's see

Defencive guard: A-. Solid SG, let's say he get's a: B. Solid SF, Ron II gets a B-. Veteran leadership and rebounds for Charles Oakley: B. And VERY talented centers: A.

Looks like a play-off crowd to me. Finaly a interesting team in Chicago again. Two candidates for Rookie of the year. The same two players, Curry and Chandler will get in the All-Rookie team. Anthony will get a league-leading 2.5 spg and get one of the All-Defence teams. The Bulls, well.. the Bulls get the Play-Offs.
