Should the Chicago Bulls Trade Luol Deng or Joakim Noah? Fan's Opinion (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

I'll tell you what, for a team that went 50-16 --and had very legitimate reasons for being knocked out in the first round of the playoffs-- there are a lot of questions surrounding the future of the Chicago Bulls. Honestly, I hadn't really thought about those questions until I read Sam Smith's latest article concerning that very thing.

Adam Morrison looks great, everyone (Ball Don't Lie)

"Hey, I wonder how Adam Morrison's doing these days," you said to your cat earlier this afternoon. "Not sure why I'm thinking of him now, after not really thinking about him much since the Lakers let him go a couple of years back, but you know, I'd kind of like to know what he's up to ... or, I mean, even just see him, I guess. It's been too long!" Your wish, as always, is our command: Looking great, Adam Morrison! I see you have been very busy since last we saw you listening to Dio and working on your fingertapping and/or performing twice nightly in dark matches at Pacific Northwest wrestling shows as "The Fauxndertaker." Not sure how well that will translate to being sharp in the pick-and-roll, but if any general manager would just take like three minutes to hear you rip through "Holy Diver" and/or check out your Tombstone, I'm sure you'd be back on the floor in no time. This life-affirming photo of Morrison — the NCAA's co-Player of the Year during his junior season at Gonzaga who was drafted No. 3 overall by Michael Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats in 2006 and soon plummeted to the depths of bustdom thanks to an inability to create his own shot against NBA defenders, a severe left knee injury and the fact that he was chosen ahead of Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay, Rajon Rondo and Paul Millsap (among others) — was taken Monday morning by SNY.tv's Adam Zagoria . We here at BDL share our unending thanks with Mr. Zagoria for bringing this ray of sunlight into a dreary (in Brooklyn, at least) Monday afternoon.
