Do you think the Bulls got good value for Norris Cole? I see that he arrived in Miami by way of Chicago (dealt him to Timberwolves, who dealt him to Miami). He has been working out really well for the Heat.

Have you been following Nicola Mirotic in Spain? Kid is a beast. Young, voted MVP on Real Madrid, efficient stretch 4 scorer. He would have been a lottery pick if it wasn't for his contract. Bulls got a steal.
They don't need Norris Cole, they already have 2 PG's. And Thibs doesn't play rookies any way.
Mirotic is 20 years old and already on the short list for one of the best players in all of Europe. He's almost a lock to be on team Spain in the Olympics.
Bulls pretty much hit the jackpot and found their next Toni Kukoc

Haven't been following him, just saw he was playing well in Spain while they wait for him to put on a Bulls uniform (from what I read) a couple of years from now.

Yep, Bulls took the long term view here. Just around the time Carlos Boozers contract will be expiring, Mirotic will be ready to come over. He's being kept off the books right now while gaining valuable experience on one of the best teams in Europe, playing against the best competition that exists in basketball outside the NBA.
Check out the high praise heaped on this kid: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Nikola-Mirotic-5134/

I read that, but DH is running his mouth a lot on that subject. Anywhere but Orlando seems to be his message.

Howard doesn't even know what he wants, he said if God wanted him to go to Chicago then thats where he'll end up. Thats a bit different than saying "I want to go to Chicago!". He's basically letting the Chi town fans down gently by saying he's not against going there, but it's not his preferred destination by any means

Probably. But if the Clippers get a new coach and learn to play team defense, I don't see whats stopping them from being the favorites in the west. They have so much talent it's insane

Dunk of the year? Quite possibly.

Man CP3 is the luckiest PG in the NBA. He can easily average like 15 APG playing on a team with this much offense.
