In the post-game press conference it was announced that starting SG Kirk Hinrich has been diagonesed with a concusion and will be out for the next 2-4 weeks. Rumour is that the Bulls will seek a new Guard through either trade or free agency.

*If anyone has any sliders they would recommend for more realistic shooting stats/blocks feel free to let me know. Currently looking for a set that works well without making the game too difficult.*

Bulls Acquire Pelican's Eric Gordon In Early Season Trade

Report: Chicago Bulls have already found their new shooting guard only hours after Kirk Hinrich was ruled out of play for the month of November due to a concussion. Chicago parted way with offensive specialist Carlos Boozer, as well as young point guard D.J Augustin and a 2015 1st round pick in exchange for 24 year old Eric Gordon. This trade proves that the Bulls are very serious about making a championship push, and that they have faith in talented former 6th man Taj Gibson. Gordon is expected to be in Chicago's starting 5 for their next game against the New York Knicks.

Report: The 6 time NBA Champion Chicago Bulls continue to build towards another league title as they have signed point guard Sebastian Telfair to a 1 year deal as a depth guard. He is also expected to suit-up for the game vs New York.

Rose Rises To The Challenge Again As The Bulls Edge Out The Knicks

Chicago continued their winning ways as they just managed to squeak out a win at home against the New York Knicks. Derrick Rose continued his dominance, and was aided by Taj Gibson who showed he was ready for the starting role by putting up a career high 23 points. The Knicks stayed competive throughout the whole game, thanks in large part to Raymond Felton's 12 assists and Amar'e Stoudemire's 27 points, however they just couldn't manage to do enough. Eric Gordon made his debut for the Bulls, but struggled immensly as he only managed to sink a meagre 2 of his 14 shots.

The Bulls will now travel to Philadelphia as they look to continue their early winning streak on the road. Will Gordon show that he was worth all that was given up for him? Or will Derrick Rose continue to carry the team?

Gordon Shines In Chicago's 3rd Straight Win

Chicago guard Eric Gordon bounced back from a rough debut by scoring 29 points against a struggling 76ers' defence. Derrick Rose also contributed 12 assists in the winning effort, as he was glad to destroy high school rival Evan Turner and his Philadelphia teammates.

Bulls Squeak Out Two Point Win After Losing Rose and Gordon.

It was another win for the Chicago Bulls, making it four on the season, however this one wasn't pretty. After loosing Eric Gordon in the first quarter (torn labrum) and then having point guard Derrick Rose fouled out early in the fourth, the bench struggled to hold on to the league. After starting the quarter with a double digit league the Bulls ended the game up by only a single bucket. Gordon is expected to miss anywhere from 2-4 weeks. The Pacers will get their chance for revenge on November 16th when they travel to the United Center to take on the Bulls again.

I like the trade for Gordon a lot. He can pour points in, but the probability of his awkward release being swatted makes me want to pull my hair out haha.

Looks like Rose is poised for another MVP run, though. Keep it up,
