It's the 100th episode of the Bulls beat, and it couldn't have come at a better time. The trading deadline has passed, and the Bulls are definitely the winners. Not Amare winners, but winners none the less. I break down all the trades with a special guest who hasn't appeared on the show in quite some time. We also discuss the Paxson press conference as well as rumors of his retirement, and the Chris Bosh rumors as well as destroying all your hope for Ben Gordon staying (and then reigniting it just for fun).

The Paxson retirement has blown over somewhat and seems to be blown out of proportion by Vescey and too quickly confirmed by Hanley. KC and Mike McGraw give a story of nothing major to report. The Amare trade rumors continue to descend on the city, and I give you my take on how likely a deal is to come to fruition. Also, Derrick Rose wins the skills contest, but the rookies are unable to top the sophomores in the rookie/sophomore challenge.

Speculation abounds on these topics. Also the shocking news doesn't stop us from reporting the worst end game sequence I've seen in years, who's dumber VDN or Thabo Sefolosha? You decide.

It's a great day to be a Bulls fan as we just saw one of the best games of the year as the Bulls have a thrilling come from behind victory against the Pistons.

It's Amare mania, and I'm going to break it down for you like no other. The positives and negatives to acquiring Amare. The steps that need to be taken before he'll be traded anywhere, and the individual things that have to happen before he could become a Bull. The cap consequences, and best offers that I believe the Bulls could make. I'm breaking it down as much as I can. Also, the Bulls lose to the Mavs in OT after Derrick Rose drives the lane 100 times without getting a foul call all night, and of course, all emails answered.

The bulls have won four of their last five and clinched a winning record on a big road trip for the first time since the Jordan era. Everyone is playing well, and Larry Hughes has been banished. Things really couldn't be going any sweeter until that is rumors that Amare and Bosh may be availble for trade offering up opportunities to get that elusive star big man.

The Bulls are what we thought they were. Unfortunately, that's what we thought they were after the Oklahoma City loss and not the Cleveland and Toronto wins. Closing out games is the greatest issue this team faces right now. Also, Joakim Noah, he's not so bad as you think. Really. I'm the only one who believes this, but it's true. Some fun personal stories, and finally, I answer your voicemail questions (bad Doug, bad for taking so long).

After going 2-2 after four home games against four of the worst teams in the NBA, it's oficially time to panic about this season. It's really hard to imagine things being a whole lot worse than this. What happened to the team that was a game under .500 after playing the toughest schedule in the NBA? They played a bunch of creampuffs and lost. Grab your hard liquor, turn on the blues and listen to the Bulls Beat.

The Bulls are blown out by two good opponents, and then lose to one of the worst teams in the league. At home. The sky actually is falling, and the finger pointing and internal problems are obvious. VDN has lost the team and needs to go, and John Paxson may not be the right man to try and fix this mess. Wholesale changes are required at this point, and Paxson needs to prove he's not too attached to the players he drafted. My prediction of the 6th seed indeed looks pretty weak right now.

In this edition of the Bulls Beat I lightly cover the past three games, and spend a lot of time discussing the Bulls rotation as Hinrich appears to be possibly ahead of schedule in his recovery. Luol Deng and Drew Gooden should also be returning to the lineup soon, and a big time minute crunch seems inevitable. What do we do with this roster both short term and long term?

The Bulls were destroyed by three refs in Detroit on the onset of a tough six game stretch (5 on the road).

The Bulls beat up on the Wizards, manage to almost blow the game at the end and continue their pattern of completely ignoring their youth. The season of development is completely off as the Bulls continue to throw out gimicky lineups in an attempt to get around the fact that their front court is worthless. Andres Nocioni redeems himself, at least a little bit while Drew Gooden does not.
