Bulls Pull Keith Bogans Off Practice Floor, Spark Trade Rumors
The Bulls have been markedly absent from free agent talk as the NBA erupted into a frenzy on Thursday. Chicago was believed to be targeting a veteran small forward like Grant Hill or Caron Butler to relieve pressure on Luol Deng, but those two players signed with the Phoenix Suns and L.A. Clippers, respectively. The Bulls have also been mentioned as suitors for Jamal Crawford and Jason Richardson.
Bogans is seen as the weak link in the Bulls’ rotation, with many fans pushing for the team to upgrade the shooting guard spot.
