The Bulls had every right to limp into the All-Star break and drop a couple along the way, excuses in hand. Instead they went friggin’ 5-0, including last night’s W against the Kings, simply incredible stuff.
During that game, news broke in strange fashion that the Bulls will be signing a backup big man soon, with Pacers coach Rick Carlisle saying post-game that Tristan Thompson, who was just acquired at the trade deadline, will be bought out and ‘will be joining’ the Bulls.
Thompson, in his age-30 and 11th season in the league, played just 4 games for the Pacers after being traded from the Kings.
