Richard Hamilton is now a member of the Chicago Bulls.
The leading scorer for the 2004 NBA Champions Detroit Pistons, Hamilton was waived by the Pistons on December 12, 2011 and immediately signed a 3-year, 15 million dollar contract with the Chicago Bulls earlier today, with the third year being a team option.
Hamilton joins 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose to form one of the most dynamic backcourt duos in the league.
Udonis Haslem is back!
After a five and a half months layoff following a foot fracture sustained on November 20, the Miami Heat power forward returned in just the right moment to help his team tie its series 1-1 with the Chicago Bulls after winning Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, 85-75.
Taj Gibson who?
Gibson is a backup power forward for the Chicago Bulls playing in his second year.. and he has a new poster coming up.
Joining forces, Lebron James and Dwyane Wade have finally defeated the team that had tormented them in their past playoff matchups, the Boston Celtics; winning the series 4-1.
But that’s just the beginning. Now, they have to face the team that had swept them in the regular season 3-0, the Chicago Bulls. It was also the same team which made the Miami Heat players cry (allegedly) in the locker room after their third loss.
The Miami Heat still have no answer for Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls as for the third time this season, they were beaten to give the series sweep to the Bulls.
Rose scored 27 points in his team’s 87-86 win while handing the Heat their fourth consecutive loss. And for the nth time, the Heat’s inability to win in the clutch has the league laughing at them.
It even became more interesting when during the post-game press conference, coach Eric Spoelstra told media,
“This is painful for every single one of us to go through this, there are couple of guys crying in the locker room right now, it is not a matter of want.”
After news of Dwyane Wade resigning with the Miami Heat and Chris Bosh joining him starting next season, the Chicago Bulls immediately secured the services of the next best power forward available from the 2010 free agent pool, Carlos Boozer.
After playing for six seasons for the Utah Jazz, Boozer leaves the team to play with the Chicago Bulls on a five-year contract worth $80 million.
