Unfortunately, there's a huge deal-breaker in any Kobe Bryant to the Chicago Bulls deal: Luol Deng.
The Bulls are adamant about keeping him. The Los Angeles Lakers won't consider a deal without him. However, if the Lakers get Deng and Ben Gordon, Bryant may not want to go there and try to win with what's left.

Chicago Bulls GM John Paxson knows the limitations of complimentary players, such as he was. Which brings us to Michael Jordan.
Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA titles, three with Paxson included. Teamwork, yes. But genius led the way.
Which is why Kobe Bryant wants to be a Bull. So he can be Michael in Michael's town. Talent may override all in the 10-man game with the orange ball.

After watching Richard Hamilton drain jumper after jumper in a post-practice shooting drill, coach Flip Saunders turned to the assembled media and said, "Does he look ready to you?"
The answer was yes. Hamilton, after missing the final four exhibitions with a left ankle sprain, was back at practice looking like he'd never been away.
"I really wanted to test it today," Hamilton said. "It's a week before the first game, so I really wanted to push myselfI don't have time to wait until Monday or Tuesday to see how it feels."
It may have only been the end of the exhibition season, but Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was in mid-season form.
"I still don't think they (Cavaliers) beat us, we beat ourselves," Wallace said. "And I think we also fell victim to that personal NBA thing where they are trying to make it a world game and get (television) ratings. They wanted to put their darling in there (the NBA Finals) and they did, and look what ended up happening.
"This game ain't basketball anymore, it's entertainment," Wallace said. "It's starting to get like the WWF. There ain't no real wrestling anymore either. It's all fake."

Yesterday was a "thank you" and at the same time "freedom" day for ex-President Joseph "Erap" E. Estrada. Sen. Manuel Roxas II, who served as trade secretary of Estrada, filed Resolution 135 calling on President Arroyo to pardon Estrada at the appropriate time. Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, in a privilege speech, exhorted Estrada to accept pardon for the sake of national reconciliation. The former President indeed accept the "pardon" that the present administration gave to him. One question remain in every Filipino...did the present administration(Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) made the right decision?...for now, this question is not yet answerable. Nevertheless, a decision was made. It's all over. The best thing to do now is to move on and work together for a better nation. God bless Philippines!
