It mostly was an exercise in speculation and imagination, though Luol Deng didn’t much like it. I used to come up with various trade scenarios involving Deng. They weren’t unpopular.

After averaging 18.8 and 7.1 rebounds in the 2006-07 season when the Bulls won 49 games and swept defending champion Miami in the first round of the playoffs, Deng was …

When Derrick Rose missed his fourth consecutive game with a toe injury Saturday as the Bulls defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 95-89 and improved to an NBA-best 15-3 overall record, he had plenty of company at the end of the bench.

Joakim Noah was a late scratch due to a sprained ankle. Omer Asik started in his place, snagging a career-high …

It’s pretty clear now what the Bulls have to do following Friday’s dominating 114-75 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers to raise the team’s record to a league best 14-3.

They have to shut Derrick Rose down the rest of the season.

Look, what’s really the point anymore after a brilliant effort against an improving Cavs team that is actually seventh …

I suspect Derrick Rose’s job still is safe, and I also suspect he’ll be back from his sprained toe/turf toe injury Friday in Cleveland.

But Rose got a nice rest and coach Tom Thibodeau got a nice 54th birthday present Tuesday in the United Center with a near perfect — well, Thibs had some issues with the defense, of course …

Now it’s about Derrick Rose and his sprained/turf toe for the Bulls. Forget the 102-86 pummeling the Bulls absorbed from a hot Memphis Grizzlies team and falling to 12-3 in the centerpiece Martin Luther King Day game in Memphis Monday.

It was a day to ponder a great dream that still strives for reality and acceptance. For the Bulls, it …

It hadn’t been a great night for Taj Gibson and the men of the Bulls Bench Mob, giving up an early 13-point lead the starters had created against the Toronto Raptors Saturday in the United Center.

The game, featuring two teams playing their fifth game in six nights, which about everyone does in the NBA these days, had emulsified into …

The Bulls hit the quarter pole of this reduced NBA season Friday night in Boston for the nationally televised ESPN game. And they go into the game with the quickly aging Celtics with the best record in the Eastern Conference by a game and a half.

Which means Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau may be on the way to coaching the …

Just imagine you didn’t know anyone in the NBA and you watched the Bulls Wednesday defeat the Washington Wizards 78-64. You’d never heard of the point guards playing against one another, John Wall and John Lucas III.

Lucas, leading the Bulls, had 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists with two turnovers, while Wall for the losers was without a …

It’s John Lucas III at point guard Wednesday for the Bulls with Derrick Rose missing just the seventh game of his career with a sprained toe from Tuesday’s game in Minnesota.

So, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was asked before Wednesday’s game against the Washington Wizards, who’ll back up Lucas with C.J, Watson still out injured along with Richard Hamilton.

“Lucas,” …

Perhaps it will work. After all, the Bulls might have the NBA’s best combination of overall team depth and interior defensive strength. So maybe in this unusual season of 66 games in 124 days, they can endure longer.

So far, it’s been remarkably effective with Monday’s 92-68 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The Bulls are 8-2 and in their three …
