Paxson said in today's press conference that we should expect to see Rose, Nichols, Thomas, Gray, and Noah. I'd assume Thabo might be there as well.

Those are pretty tame. Tyrus dropped 16 last year, Thabo had 15.
I know it's just summer league, but it's hard not to get excited to see Rose on the court for the 1st time in a Bulls jersey... As well as him playing with Tyrus, Thabo, Noah, etc...

Hopefully Thabo is there as additional playing time would be good for him. The only reason I wouldn't expect him there is if he is playing on his international team (assuming Sweden (or was it Switzerland) has a team) in the summer olympics? Or am I completely off-based there.
I wonder what the tv schedule will be. I'd have to imagine ESPN will cover the Rose/Beasley game (they usually televise at least a few summer league games). Hell with the advent of NBA TV I wouldn't be surprised if they televise some of the summer league games as well (what else are they going to show during July).

The Magic website will videocast all the games live online, not sure about TV games.
What can you guys tell me about this Nichols character that the Bulls are keeping over Curry (who essentially was released by the Bulls or am I mistaken by that). I saw where they gave Nichols a qualifying offer but not Curry.

Curry obviously has the off-court issues, but Nichols was the 15th man on the roster nearly the entire season. Didn't play much at all. He's a SF with a good outside shot. Here's he scouting report...

IIRC NBATV normally televises a fair number of the summer league games. Pretty sure that's a premium channel on most providers though.

Thanks Slav. I remembered him on the roster, but for some reason, can't picture him actually on the court other than for a couple minutes (but I was pretty terrible towards the end of the season at watching the games cause all I'd do was get frustrated with the absolute piss poor fundementals the Bulls were displaying most of the season; as well as the horrid rotations Boylan was throwing out there).
I'm so thrilled about the changes made at the coaching ranks (loved Skiles a lot and am very appreciative of what he did) as I really believe Del Negro and the new assistants are going to be tremendous assets. I say this with the assumption the Bulls get Harris which I think will be huge. You have Harris and Bickerstaff as well as some solid developmental coaches and you are talking about a tremendous coaching staff (one that rivals what the Bulls used to do when Phil Jackson was here, where Phil was a more quiet, motivator and his assistants were much more engulfed in the X's and O's throughout the season; although Phil would take over in key situations).

Yeah, its typically on the sports tier for most cable networks (or at least my network). SO essentially as long as you get NFL/ESPNews than you should get NBA TV.
pax said practice for summer league starts thursday. im exited to see what rose does with tyrus and noah and even thabo if he plays. it will be interesting to see who the bulls fill up the rest of their roster with.
What would be cool is if the Bulls could bring the euro player over for summer league each year to just get him familiar with the coaching staff and let the Bulls brass give him pointers and have there coaches help him on getting better. Obviously the Euro League team would have a hissy fit since he could potentially get hurt and would than have an impact on the Euro Team (since they are paying his salary, not the Bulls).
So I take it none of the Bulls will be playing in the Las Vegas summer league this year? Crap. I was actually going to be in Vegas for the first few days of that league.
Isn't the Vegas Summer League supposedly the best one?

Yes. It's far more organized and what not. Many more teams also compete.
there will be a 4 day mini camp at the berto center july 3-6, and then 5 games in 5 days in orlando.

Yes, absolutely fun to watch...
A couple of side notes here: I'm not surprised Thabo isn't participating, but it would have been fun to see him there too. And, none of the free agents on the team seem to excite me much expect for Langford. I guess they didn't bother signing any of the bigger UDFA's since even if they do play really well, there's not really a spot for them on this team. Plus, it just means even more PT for Rose/Thomas/Noah...
That kinda stinks Thabo won't be there. I heard he had a kid, maybe that has something to do with it, or he just flat out didn't wanna be in it?
The vegas league is geared more towards fans and making money. The competitions really isn't that different.
And if there is any international compettion going on, you can pretty much count on Thabo participating. Him and his brother are the leaders of the Swiss team. I'm not sure if they will be in gthe olympics though. I think the crushing loss to Deng and Great Britain last summer knocked him ougt;.

The first two days of Bulls summer league minicamp have featured more drills than scrimmages. That hasn't stopped Derrick Rose and Tyrus Thomas from hooking up on the first of what they hope will be many alley-oop dunk connections.
"It's going to be good for me playing with him," Thomas said. "I'll be able to get up and down the floor."

what time does tomorrow's game start? the schedule is on the bulls site but it doesnt say if its central time or not.
That should be sweet. I'm going to try and catch part of the game tonight. Rose vs Beasley
The Bulls should be playing sometime around 5.

No you don't it's working fine.
For some dumb reason I can't view the games. I was fine with it last year but this year I can't. Gay!
These announcers are SOOO ANNOYING!! They are not even talking about basketball. Just reading emails and not even calling the action. Its ridiculous.
video was working fine for me for the first game but now it wont buffer to 100percent
Yeah me too. Hopefully they just cut the feed and will turn it back on when the game starts.
Bulls brought the house.
Tyrus with the big foul already.
YEah this is great. Its exactly what we want to see in summer league; the refs blowing their whistle on every possesion.
they really need to stop calling tyrus the soul eater.
Not looking so hot so far, Noah and Tyrus struggling to score inside. Down 10-8 I think, Rose and Thomas each with two. Beasley is shooting a lot.
so far im not impressed by Rose
Meh, Tyrus still thinks he's a jump-shooter.
Well, I'm just glad I finally got the video to work about a minute before the quarter ended... Seems like I haven't missed much; let's hope that changes.
its hard to tell but it looks like gray lost weight.
Stephan Lasme is dominating this game right now.
this second string is terrible
Damn, that's 2 straight possessions Simmons got owned by Lasme... That's not a way to impress Bulls management.
Who the hell is "lionel chalmers?"
The guy who keeps saying that is a moron. How are you gonna mess up "Mario" with "Lionel" when this guy is a pretty well-known player? Hell, even if he was some no-name scrub, if you're announcing the game, you should be prepared and not mess that up.

Can someone give me a score update? Who's looking good/bad? I hear Tyrus has like 3 blocks but has played poorly overall, along with Joakim. What about Rose?

They all look pretty bad, down like 13. Rose is like 1-3 with 2 turnovers, Tyrus is like 1-4 (only saw one block), Noah hasn't been finishing at all inside.
