Sam Smith's NBA mailbag
What is the future for Drew Gooden, Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes with the Bulls? Hughes doesn't seem to fit the Bulls offensively; he seems best in a Golden State-type of offense. There must be something wrong with Gooden; he is constantly being traded....Tags: Joakim Noah, LeBron James, Ben Wallace, Philosophy, Aaron Gray

Bulls don't take defeat very hard

K.C. Johnson's answers
