The Bulls are going to Hell

The Bulls cut Revrand Roger Powell today, officially making them the lost souls of the NBA. You can have 15 people on you roster, and most people thought that the Bulls would have to make a decision between the Rev and Michael Ruffin. Instead the Bulls got down to 15 with both of them on the roster, and then promptly cut them both leaving them with 13 people. I think Paxson is making cap space to bring in Mark Madsen to ride the pine.

Also Larry Hughes is out 6-8 weeks, increasing his career injury total to 2,278. Which contract do you like better: Larry Hughes 12.8 million this year, Kirk Hinrich 10 million this year, Luol Deng 9.3 million, Tyrus Thomas 3.75 million, or Kobe Bryant 21.2 million.
