Returning to the UnstoppaBulls: Bulls Blog #3: Looking like a long season.

Well if you look up the definition of struggle in the dictionary Im sure there will be a photo of the Bulls logo. We were blown completely out by the Pacers which quickly meant this rebuilding process was in full swing. As you see I have been here attempting to clean up some of the mistakes the franchise has made.

Things began when I traded Paul Zipser to the Lakers to bring veteran Metta World Peace back around full circle to the team that drafted him. Following the trade I received a call back from the front office in Phoenix saying they liked the deal I sent them for PJ Tucker so I sent sharp shooting swingman Anthony Morrow to Phoenix for Tucker. The last deal of the night saw me send dancing machine Cameron Payne to San Antonio for Dedmond and a late 1st round pick. While I may have bamboozled the Spurs here in this deal the name of the game isn't how to make the other team good. Its how to make my team better right now.

The trade showed its worth as we went to Brooklyn to battle a team in far worse shape than we were. Brooklyn, struggles were evident as Jimmy Butler continued his hot streak scoring 28 points in the 109-103 victory. Sean Kilpatrick was the workhorse for the Nets as he notched 22 in the loss.

Chicago would then get an early rematch with the Celtics. However, they'd suffer the same fate as the season opener. Losing 117-109. Butler scorched the Celtics this time around scoring 36 points. Isaiah Thomas would shake his bad night however, and drop 31 points in the game and earn himself a player of the game nod. After the game I gave the Thunder a call and made a deal that would add Jeramy Grant to the team. His size and athleticism could be great addition to the second units defense.

Our next opponent was the New York Knicks. This game was one that bothered me heading into the night knowing that we would be facing off against D-Rose and Jo (Noah), really was getting under my skin. So I made the call to trade for Rose. I sent native Chicagoan Dwayne Wade in a deal to New York straight up for Rose. The move allows Wade to play along side his friend Carmelo Anthony whilst I bring back the hometown kid. After acquiring Rose, Rondo was available to the field so I sent him to Indiana in return we received what I hope to be our sixth man in Monta Ellis. The next day we went to Indiana to challenge the Pacers and lost in a snoozer 89-115.

I do believe tho that things should be changing in the near future.
