Busy Begining to July for Chicago Bulls
Today is only the fourth day of July (Happy Independence Day!) and it has already been a rather eventful month for the Chicago Bulls. Here is a quick recap of the first four days:
July 1st: News broke that Chicago Bulls top draft pick Derrick Rose has already gotten into a little bit of trouble with the law. Rose was allegedly clocked speeding down I-88 in Chicago at 106 mph in a 65 mph zone on April 29th. He will appear in court in Kane County, Illinois on July 11th. Rose was driving a 2008 Land Rover.
July 3rd: The Chicago Bulls named the coaching staff that will surrounded Vinny Del Negro. The Bulls hired former head coaches and assistant coaches Del Harris, Bernie Bickerstaff, and Bob Ociepka. They also retained assistant Pete Myers. This is a very experienced staff, which should help out the first year head coach.
July 4th: Chris Duhon has agreed in principle to a 2 year contract with the New York Knicks. It has been rumored for a few days that the Knicks were interested in Duhon. Duhon is a restricted free agent, meaning the Bulls may match the offer made by the Knicks and would be able to retain Duhon. The drafting of Rose makes it unlikely the Bulls will match the offer though, as this would cause to much of a jam at the position with Kirk Hinrich still on the roster.
