Please, Ferry, no more long-term deals to stiffs like Kevin Ollie! I truly don't believe Gilbert will allow Andy to walk away. He knows Wild Thing is a fan-favorite and great marketing tool. Sasha? I'd wager he's gone. Does anyone else think the Bulls got themselves their own "Wild Thing" with Miami's Noah? Frankly, they may have gotten the steal of the first round. He has more offensive skills than Andy, and at 6'11" he's a clogger in the middle (at the forward position). BW may not think Chicago has the ability to unseat the Cavs....but sadly, with the current roster compositions, I tend to disagree. Bulls helped themselves a lot. For once, I agree with A.T.
