Bulls Team Report
(Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:30:26 PDT)
The countdown is on. The new-look Bulls will get ready to battle some radically different Eastern Conference foes when the first practice of training camp is held Sept. 28 at the Berto Center in Deerfield, Ill.
About 16 months ago, the Bulls captured the nation's attention with an epic seven-game playoff series against Boston. Only two players who were on the court for that series remain with the team—guard Derrick Rose and center Joakim Noah. Forward Luol Deng is still around, but he missed the Boston matchup with an injury.
Just this summer, the Bulls added forward Carlos Boozer, centers Kurt Thomas and Omer Asik, and guards Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer, C.J. Watson and Keith Bogans.
"I'm very excited about the upcoming season," Noah said.
