Hopefully this isn’t the last we’ve heard from the Bulls before tomorrow’s 3pm est deadline, but it’s good news.  A few media outlets are reporting that the Bulls have made a deal with the Bucks: The Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a deal in principle that will send John Salmons to the Bucks for the [...]

The last week’s 4-game winning streak has given Bulls fans hope for the stretch run this season, but it’s tough not to look ahead to the deadline and the summer.  Mike McGraw wrote an article this morning, speculating on all kinds of Bulls rumors that are a combination of speculation and actual news.  The biggest [...]

The Rockets are trying to get Tracy McGrady out of their locker room and off to another team.  Hell, even here at NQTC we named him one of the NBA’s top douchebags for the crap he has pulled in Houston the last year or two.  T-Mac’s contract is for $23 million this season and it [...]

Yesterday I posted a rumor that the Bulls may be in talks with the Raptors for Chris Bosh. Apparently my contentions that the trade did not make sense for Toronto and the rumor was completely unsubstantiated were not enough to placate bitter Raptors fans who took it upon themselves to attack my writing as “a [...]

It looks like the Bulls are actively shopping Tyrus Thomas to the Knicks in a potential trade.  According to Yahoo Sports, the deal would look something like this: For starters, multiple league executives believe the Chicago Bulls’ shopping of forward Tyrus Thomas(notes) could result with him moving sooner than later. As Thomas has rehabbed a [...]

Curtis Granderson is a top notch center fielder, Detroit fan favorite, Chicago native, and as Stormin’ Norman says, “a dreamboat.”  Is it possible that Granderson could be heading back to the Windy City to become a member of the Chicago Cubs?  Two weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but it’s been the talk [...]

Well here’s another Bradley trade rumor that makes no sense for either side.  This time the Tampa Bay Devil Rays apparently are expressing interest in Milton Bradley.  ESPNChicago is reporting that: It appears that there’s more than a little interest in Chicago Cubs right fielder Milton Bradley. A source with knowledge of the situation said [...]

As the Boozer-to-Chicago rumors were heating up a couple weeks ago, word had it that Hinrich had been telling his friends that he was sure he was being traded.  There were no reports as to what led him to this belief, beyond speculation and trade rumors in the media and blogosphere.  Today, however, Kirk has [...]

I know I said that the Bulls were pursuing some options and that for the most part I didn’t like any of them.  Although I said Boozer would be the best of the available options, I still tried to argue he probably wouldn’t be a good fit for the team.  Upon hearing the latest rumor, [...]

With the departure of Ben Gordon, the Bulls are trying to appease frustrated fans who feel that the Bulls let Gordon walk for nothing without any backup plan in place.  Even fans who hate Gordon (and there’s a lot of you), Gordon leaving obviously hurts the team without anyone to really replace him.  In general, [...]

Lost in America’s obsession with LeBron James and the possibility of Shaquille O’Neal joining him in Cleveland is the fact that CLEVELAND HAS NOTHING TO OFFER in exchange!  On the other hand, the Suns have been interested in Luol Deng since they drafted him in 2004 (he was immediately traded to the Bulls).  Not only [...]

A few days ago I had a conversation with NQTC reader Black Rob.  I sent him a link to a story about the Raptors trading Jason Kapono to the 76ers for Reggie Evans, a power forward.  I remarked “Does that qualify as news” after I sent the link.  He laughed because we both knew that [...]

There are some important questions that are raised by yesterdays Bulls-Kings trade.  Though it is not the most important question on people’s minds, the issue of what John Salmons game consists of seems to be the thing most people in Chicago are confused about.  Other questions that have arisen are: Are the Bulls done making [...]

Well it looks like the Amare rumors are dead, which would also kill any Bosh deal since that was a three-way deal involving Amare as well.  We can still hold out hope that it’s not dead, but it seems highly unlikely at this point.  But don’t hang your heads!  Paxson won’t stand pat this time, [...]
