    Well, looks like any plans of Matt Maloney and Bryce Drew playing together fell apart today since Matt just got fired.

    Too bad, I guess.

    On the other hand, this would seem to ensure that the Bulls do in fact need to fill the white pure-shooting point guard on their team. And therefore, Bryce Drew may have truly found a home.

    The question is, does this give him more value than we originally thought? I don't think so, but it looks like if they don't want Maloney anymore they must have a backup plan for sure.

    Second round pick here we come.

    I hope Bryce gets traded, for his own sake at least. I hope he does get traded to the Bulls... he might get some time to prove himself there. That's prolly the best option for him.

    I wonda what's next for Big M Maloney.

    Do you have to defect for that?

    The funniest part is the Maloney is getting a paid vacation. The Rockets are on the hook for his salary for a couple more years.

    With Chicago so far under the cap, it may signal a trade where they take on more than they give ... a lot more. They are hovering around $24M. After what happened this year in the FA market, I can't see them sandbagging for next year. What is the league minimum that you have to have to field an NBA team?

They are going to pay Rice all that dough because they aren't spending enough on salary for the players...HAH!!!!!!

    Its gonna be a long season in Chicago.

    Matt was making minimum money on his Bull's contract and it is very doubtful this was a cap space issue.

    I would take that that. If Cory goes to the right team he can really blossom.

    I thought Matt Maloney was doing really good up there in Chicago. Did he fizzle out?
