Ok so Utah matched Millsap’s offer sheet which puts them at $81 million in salary.  That is pretty much the death knell for Boozer’s tenure in Utah.  The Boozer-Hinrich-Thomas rumor lives on. [By The Horns] Some suspended tennis player had his drug suspension lifted after convincing a panel that the cocaine was in his system [...]

Top ten moments in Chicago sports in the last decade.  They aren’t all good either.  Yikes. [Pippen Ain't Easy] Soriano is upset about his recent benching.  Here’s what I have to say about that: Hit. [Tribune] Tallon cleaned up most of his mess regarding the Blackhawks qualifying offers.  It was expensive though. [Sun-Times] LeBron James [...]

Well that was an interesting draft.  A lot of big moves happened leading up to the draft and there were some minor trades during the draft.  Some guys slipped and some guys jumped, but for the most part there weren’t too many surprises once the draft began. The Bulls: With the 16th and 26th pick, [...]

Whoa!  Shaq to Cleveland could change the face of the East, or not.  It will still be fun.  Here’s a good look at all the roles that will have to be shifted on the Cavs for this trade to work out in Cleveland. [BDL] Hilarious fake tweets from athlete’s twitter accounts. [Luol's Dong] Jeff Jordan, [...]

Is this real?  Is it fake?  Who cares, because this little flip and 3/4 court shot is ridiculous. h/t: BDL

If you have been watching any television at all lately then you have seen those goofy LeBron-Kobe puppet commercials.  For the most part they are funny and elicit a snicker out of me (the first 50 times at least).  Obviously the NBA and Nike both had their hopes set on a LeBron-Kobe Finals and these [...]

The Bulls are probably going to take Tyler Hansborough with one of their picks.  Don’t be mad though, he might be a good fit (albeit a white, unathletic one). [Blogabull] It looks like the acquisition of Cutler may have boosted the Bears organization ratings according to a new Fox Sports study. [WCG] So how is [...]

As many of our readers know, I just received my JD and am currently studying for the bar (most of the time).  Law is basically the only thing that goes through my head these days (besides this stupid blog of course).  NQTC reader Malach, who is also studying for the bar this summer, decided to [...]

Whether you love or hate LeBron James and/or the Cleveland Cavaliers, at some point you have to start feeling sorry for Cleveland fans.  I mean there are many cities with long traditions of losing professional sports franchises, but Cleveland really is the worst.  Here in Chicago, the Cubs and White Sox went about 100 years [...]

This video is intense.  I don’t know whether to laugh or just be weirded out. One question: Why MJ’s crossover? I would have gone with his competitive spirit or ability to make his teammates better. Weird. h/t: Pippen Ain’t Easy via GSF

If you didn’t catch it last night, Lebron made a ridiculous game-winner over Hedo’s outstretched arms with the clock expiring to catapult the Cavs to a 96-95 win.  For us Bulls fans, nothing will ever top Jordan’s shot on Ehlo (besides his shot on Russell and other MJ exploits, but that is besides the point), [...]

Some prick robbed a Little League concession stand of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and food.  That’s got to automatically lock you into going to hell.  [Southtown Star] Cubs win the Peavy v. Harden matchup.  I still want Peavy though. [Tribune] Could D.J. Moore start in front of Nathan Vashar and Corey Graham?  But [...]

In honor of LeBron winning the NBA MVP award, which he deserved, here is a video tribute to him set to Kanye West’s “Amazing”.  James is so filthy.  All we can do is hope for a James/Bryant Finals.  Enjoy. h/t: Docksquad

I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE GAME LAST NIGHT.  Thanks. [Tribune] Bill Simmons wrote a great column on why the Bulls-Celtics series is exciting and fun to watch. It’s a must-read.  [ESPN] Just when I’m close to being convinced that Quentin is the real deal, he goes and hurts himself again. [HardBall] Steve Nash [...]

Against him, that is.  I have always been upset with star treatment in the NBA.  I don’t pay real close attention to the goings on of the league, but whenever I watch a game it’s pretty evident that it happens.  D-Wade went through a three year period where he couldn’t enter the paint without going [...]
