CHICAGO BULLS

After much thought and meditation, I decided to join the Chicago Bulls. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to be part of a franchise so tradition and play on a team with many aspirations, with such passionate fans.

Although I see a promising future for me in Chicago, decided to leave Los Angeles has been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. In my seven seasons with the Lakers, three times we have reached the NBA Finals, having managed to become champions twice. I am very grateful to have coincided with one of the great players in the history of the NBA, Kobe Bryant, and other great companions; and to have had the opportunity to be under the command of one of the best coaching, Phil Jackson, and his technical team. I am also happy to have played in a franchise with one of the best owners in all of sports, the Buss family. Still, I realize that the Lakers are under reconstruction. No doubt that in the future again be contenders ring. Unfortunately, the immediate needs of the Lakers do not match mine. All the best to the team and its fans.

Leaving Los Angeles, a city I love and a place where I have established many friendships and relationships, it has been a very difficult decision for me. My intention, despite my farewell is to stay connected to the community of Los Angeles, you always feel like home.

While I take a new step in my career in the NBA, I have high hopes of playing with the Chicago Bulls and become an active person in the community of Chicago.

East could be a little bit more competitive if Rose is healthy and Pacers get out of their slump.

Cavs
Bulls
Pacers
Heat (they should be able to throw some money around..)
Wizards
Raptors

Decent teams I suppose. Still behind West
