finally the bulls pulled the trigger on a trade. this one does not involve amare though. according to espn , the bulls and the sacramento kings reached a tentative agreement to ship brad miller and john salmons to the chicago bulls in exchange for andres nocioni, cedric simmons, and drew gooden. the portland trailblazers are also involved in the trade as the bulls also agreed to send michael ruffin to the blazers while portland will ship ike diogu to the sacramento kings. i think the bulls just got better with this trade. john salmons is a good wingman who will play well alongside derrick rose. also, brad miller is a great passing center who can rebound as well which means the bulls are not jeopardizing their inside presence. fortunately, the bulls will no longer face shaq and the phoenix suns this season. after all, the last time shaq tried to rearrange brad's face, miller was wearing a bulls jersey.

the recently concluded game between the portland trailblazers and the new york knicks marked the first time that zach randolph has faced his former team. and likewise, it was also channing frye 's first game against the knicks. randolph of course is expected to produce better numbers than frye. in fact, the knicks forward posted a double-double game with 25 points and 13 rebounds. on the other hand, channing frye only chipped in 2 points and 4 rebounds for the blazers. but in the end, the blazers prevailed in a come from behind fashion. this shows just how bad things are going for the new york knicks. it's really bothering me as i am a fan of the team. wish they'd get better after the all-star break. :(
