    Lakers now have no outside shooter and the bulls do. Thats basically it.

    So, the Lakers get no compensation for Rice.
    The Bulls lie through their teeth (I read on one of the websites, maybe bskball.com or nba.talk, that the Bulls laughed off talk about Glen Rice).

    The guy I read that said the Bulls "laughed off" those reports was none other than Bill the Rocket guy. Big surprise.

    Thank you for the reminder. So either they jerked him around or he jerked us around. Striking a familiar chord. In any case, a semi-interesting development, considering how the Lakers have not yet secured a real PF. Rice was their best card to play in that game.

    What are you talking about? The Lakers picked up those 2 Euro PF's.... oh wait.... you're right! They got NO compensation [​IMG]

    Could the Bulls make the playoffs in the East now?

    This just further proves that Chicago has no idea what they're doing. Why would you pick up a guy like Rice when you're trying to rebuild? Look for Rider to start for LA. This doesn't hurt them much.

    There goes Elton Brand's line on the stat sheet.

    Rice is FINALLY in a place where he can shoot, and shoot, and shoot, and shoot.
