Chicago got on the board earlier than the rest of the league yesterday when they traded big man Cameron Bairstow to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for point guard Spencer Dinwiddie. That trade heralded the beginning of the Bulls off-season transactions ahead of the NBA Draft on June 23 and the opening of free agency on July 1.
The Bulls roster situation is a bottle that everyone – fans, Forman, Paxson, Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, every media outlet known to man – has been shaking for months, perhaps even years if you consider the unrest which first surfaced while Tom Thibodeau was still in town.
