Bulls believe in chemistry class as trade deadline comes and goes

Chemistry beat out adding talent after all.

On a NBA trade deadline day that saw the Eastern Conference powerhouses push some large stacks of chips to the middle of the table, Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas explored some interesting options, according to a source, but in the end opted to stay the course and wait for the buyout market.

Karnisovas and coach Billy Donovan had been preaching the high chemistry of this current locker room for weeks, as well as the idea of adding injured players like Lonzo Ball (knee surgery), Alex Caruso (wrist surgery), Patrick Williams (wrist surgery) and Derrick Jones Jr. (finger) at some point in March, and were in agreement that chemistry like the Bulls have shown this season was unique.

“We like our group a lot, we like the chemistry a lot, we want to make sure that continues,” Donovan said last week. “Chemistry in the locker room is critical, it’s important. Certainly Arturas is always going to look for ways to improve the group, but you don’t want to say, ‘OK, we’ve improved our talent, but we’re not as cohesive and the chemistry is not as good.'”

Bulls players were also in full agreement with that mentality.

“We’re missing Lonzo Ball, one of the top point guards in the league,” DeRozan said. “Alex Caruso, one of the best defenders in this league. Patrick Williams, one of the young stars in this league. We haven’t had those guys. And we have them, they’ll be back. We don’t need to worry or stress about having nobody else. Those three right there, I guarantee every team in this NBA wished they had those three guys. We’ll be fine.”

PSG’s Messi, Mbappe and Neymar unveil fourth kit with a nod to Chicago Bullson February 10, 2022 at 2:08 pm

Paris Saint-Germain have revealed the latest offering from their collaboration with Nike’s Jordan brand by unveiling a new fourth kit which will be worn by Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar & Co. for the 2021-22 season.

PSG say that the predominantly white ensemble with blue-and-red trim, which will be worn in the latter half of the campaign, includes a design feature taken from the famous uniforms worn by the Chicago Bulls.

The new PSG shorts share the diamond motif used by the Bulls, most famously during their heyday when they won six NBA championships in eight years between 1991 and 1998.

The red pinstripes around the collar and cuffs is also a callback to the detailing on the classic Bulls’ vests made famous by Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen — widely regarded as the greatest team in NBA history.

It’s a real departure from the PSG x Jordan collaboration released around this time last year, when they unveiled a fourth kit featuring psychedelic splahes of “Hyper Pink” and “Psychic Purple.”

Further melding the worlds of football and basketball, PSG revealed their latest strip with a photoshoot featuring Messi, Mbappe and Sergio Ramos with PSG Feminine stars like Grace Geyoro, Jordyn Huitema and Sakina Karchaoui posing for a set of faux high school-style photos with that look like they have been plucked straight from their old yearbook.

Some observers on social media pointed out that Messi’s feet are obscured in all of the pictures he appears in, probably as a way to dodge the issue of him being one of the biggest names in Adidas’ stable of sponsored athletes.

The kit forms part of a wider PSG x Jordan Spring ’22 collection that includes various items of very fetching leisure, street and training wear.

Indeed, as well as the playing kit, the seasonal selection extends to hoodies, jackets, tracksuit pants, casual shirts and Air Jordan 1 Mid sneakers — all redolent in ice white.

Is this all, perhaps, in an effort to make Mbappe feel like he doesn’t need to leave for Real Madrid in the summer if PSG turn themselves into Ligue 1’s own Los Blancos?

With his shoulder finally healed, Blackhawks’ Brandon Hagel hopes to be ‘second-half player’

The last time Brandon Hagel visited Edmonton — the closest city on the NHL circuit to his northern Albertan hometown of Morinville — was his first time there as a regular with the Blackhawks. It was a momentous day.

There was just one problem: he had injured his left shoulder shortly before that Nov. 20 game, and he was in pain.

“I obviously wanted to be able to play in front of family,” Hagel recalled Wednesday. “My shoulder was killing me. But I got through it, and here we are.”

Close to three months later — when the Hawks resumed their season Wednesday against the Oilers — Hagel’s shoulder feels mostly healthy, even though it still gives him some slight issues “here and there.”

He actually departed that November game temporarily with “dead arm” before returning for the third period, and Hawks interim coach Derek King had said afterward Hagel would likely have to deal with occasional such moments “until summertime, when he has time to heal better.”

From afar, it didn’t appear as if that informal diagnosis came to fruition. He has only missed three games since, and those were because of COVID-19. But behind the scenes, it sounds like his shoulder might’ve been affecting him more than he let on in December and early January.

“[His shoulder] has improved,” King said Wednesday. “He’s back to being the Hagel we know. When he first came back, [because] that’s a tough injury, you get a little weary about it. You’re maybe not going to those gray areas as fast as you usually would. But he’s back. He has been playing well. He’s a kid we need, because he drives the engine for our team.”

“I’m not used to injuries — that’s like one of my first injuries,” said Hagel, who scored the Hawks’ second goal in the second period. “So I’ve been just going off the top of my head [to determine] if it feels good, if it doesn’t. I could be in my own head. [But] gradually over the weeks, it’s been really, really good.”

His ice time increased from a measured 15:54 per game between Nov. 20 and Jan. 4 to 19:56 per game between Jan. 13 (his return from COVID) and Feb. 2 (the start of the break). He thrived on the first line with Dylan Strome and Patrick Kane for part of that second segment, but even that well-matched combination didn’t last long.

Indeed, King’s line blender seemed set on “turbo” mode throughout January, which affected Hagel — a self-admitted “kind of player to be all over the lineup a few times” — arguably more than anyone. Entering Wednesday, he had played at least 43 even-strength minutes this season with eight different Hawks forwards.

King nonetheless said he regretted overusing the blender, suggesting he might try to keep the lines more stable in February.

“I’ve lost some patience the last few games, and that’s my bad,” King said. “I have to do a better job allowing them to get some consistency and having them work through some stuff. . . . [I shouldn’t] hit the panic button every time maybe one guy out of the line is having a rough night.”

Hagel’s escape for the All-Star break to the beaches of Miami — along with a number of his teammates — surely helped him rejuvenate both physically and mentally.

Hagel and the Hawks will need to milk and maintain every ounce of last weekend’s happy vibes for the next 10 weeks, though, as they slog toward a futile finish line.

“There’s the whole thing [about being] a ‘second-half player,’ ” Hagel said. “For some guys, it works. And [for] some guys, it doesn’t. But for a lot of us, it’s nice to take a step away from the rink — because we’re there all the time — and just reset our minds and come back with a winning attitude.”

Blackhawks beat Oilers as Alex DeBrincat maintains All-Star momentum

Alex DeBrincat weekend of skating half-speed at the All-Star Game clearly didn’t slow down his momentum.

Back with the Blackhawks on Wednesday, DeBrincat added another three points to his rapidly growing season total and led the Hawks to a surprising 4-1 road win over the Oilers.

“The time away just rejuvenates you and gets you excited to come back and play a real game,” DeBrincat said. “We had a lot of guys play really well today, and [we] had that jump.”

The Hawks’ rest advantage — playing their first game in a week against a team that played the night before — led to a fast start.

Patrick Kane and DeBrincat teamed up for yet another deja-vu power-play goal, then DeBrincat found Brandon Hagel trailing a rush back at even strength to give the Hawks a two-goal edge less than three minutes in.

“We were reading the play pretty well,” Dylan Strome said. “We were picking up some pucks in the neutral zone and counter-attacking off [of] that. We got some good rushes.”

But the Hawks’ goaltending advantage proved even more important as the game went on Against Oilers starter Mike Smith, who looked shaky and low on confidence from the opening puck drop, every Hawks chance looked far more dangerous than it should’ve been. Against a calm, poised and on-top-of-his-game Marc-Andre Fleury, meanwhile, almost every Oilers chance looked less dangerous.

Fleury’s steadiness carried the Hawks through an imbalanced second period in which high-danger scoring chances favored the Oilers 8-0. (They favored the Hawks, 10-4, in the other two periods combined.)

“That was huge,” interim coach Derek King said. “That’s what he does: he keeps us in games. He played a real good first period, made some saves when he needed them. [And in the] second period, we needed him alert and sharp, and he was — he was outstanding.”

King said he came “very close” to switching up the lines during that middle frame, only to remember what he’d said pregame about blending the lines too often.

So he decided to keep them together, and they righted the ship in the third period. Strome scored off a shot-pass from DeBrincat, who now touts 39 points in 47 games this year, before Kirby Dach snapped a nine-game goal drought to help the Hawks pull away.

Evander lashes out

The Oilers took a risk by signing the NHL’s most controversial player, Evander Kane, after the Sharks finally terminated his contract last month.

So far, it appears they’re getting what they signed up for: a talented player with a total lack of self-control.

Kane’s assist Wednesday gave him four points in his first five games with his new club. But his recklessness — illegally boarding Brandon Hagel in the second period, then intentionally high-sticking Fleury and slashing Caleb Jones during an outburst with 17 seconds left in the game — overshadowed his game-high nine individual shot attempts.

With the Oilers as a team floundering this winter under high expectations — King described them Wednesday as “fragile” — this perilous experiment seems destined for a bad ending.

Darche interviewed

The Hawks conducted the sixth interview of their general manager search Wednesday, talking to Lightning director of hockey operations Mathieu Darche.

Darche, 43, retired in 2013 after bouncing between the NHL and AHL as a player. He has held that role in Tampa since 2019, accumulating two Stanley Cup rings in the process.

Darche, Kyle Davidson, Eric Tulsky, Scott Mellanby, Peter Chiarelli and Jeff Greenberg are the six known candidates so far.

With trade deadline looming, Bulls show off that team chemistry in win

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The phone calls have been many.

They’re supposed to be this time of the NBA season.

But unless the current landscape changes before the 2 p.m. trade deadline, the Bulls are looking like an organization willing to stand pat until the buyout market opens up.

Several sources indicated that was the direction it was heading for the Bulls the last few days, and coach Billy Donovan did little to deny that could be a likely scenario. Donovan has been in talks with executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas frequently, and that included another discussion before the 121-109 Wednesday win over the Hornets.

Karnisovas accompanied the team to Charlotte.

“I think [Karnisovas is] just keeping his options open right now, but there’s not anything that I’ve heard from him where he’s said, ‘Hey listen, this is kind of the direction we want to go and here’s somebody that maybe available. I got a phone call on this,’ ” Donovan said. “That has not taken place, but the communication has been there.”

Not just with the front office and coaching staff either.

Both Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan made their feelings known privately and publicly, insisting that they valued the chemistry and closeness of this roster, and felt healthy bodies back would be all the additions they would need to push for an Eastern Conference playoff run.

That’s carried a lot of weight within the locker room.

“Of course because you know they have your back,” wing Javonte Green said. “Zach and DeMar are the head of the snake and wherever they lead we’re going to follow. Their message has been we’re just going to control what we can control. Don’t worry about the things outside of the locker room.”

No, that’s where Karnisovas comes in.

There was some smoke around the Bulls last week, specifically a rumor that had them interested in Boston guard Dennis Schroder. After all, Schroder does meet a big qualification that Donovan and Karnisovas were looking for.

“I think one of the things is if it’s not a player that I have a relationship with, that I have coached in the past, that I have worked with in the past, known in the past, and the same thing with Arturas, I think there would have to be a lot of due diligence on what kind of fit that would be for our team and how that would work out,” Donovan said.

According to a source, however, the Schroder rumor was coming from the Boston end, as the Celtics were trying to shred some salary from the payroll. It was an asking price that didn’t interest the Bulls.

There was some initial discussions with the Spurs on Jakob Poeltl, but again a high asking price.

The obvious hole the Bulls would like to fill would be more size in the frontcourt, but as Donovan pointed out, they would still need the right partner in getting that deal done.

“It takes two to tango to make it work, and there’s been nothing that’s been presented,” Donovan said. “I think in my conversations with him and [general manager] Marc [Eversley], we really feel good about the group and the chemistry.”

They sure did against the Hornets, as the defense played more connected and the big three of LaVine, DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic played like a big three. DeRozan led the Bulls with 36 points, while LaVine scored 27, and Vucevic finished with 18, to go along with 15 rebounds and eight assists.

If there was a Bull that should be a bit anxious about a possible trade it should be Coby White, but even he was pretty relaxed about the situation.

“It’s out of my control,” White said. “I just go with the flow. I would love to be here. We have a chance to do something special, so it is what it is.”

Final touches? Bears’ Matt Eberflus appears to round out staff with 3 more hires

Bears coach Matt Eberflus appears to have his staff in place for his debut season. While he could still add some low-level assistants, Eberflus filled out his crew of position coaches by hiring David Walker to handle running backs Wednesday.

Walker starred at Syracuse in the early 1990s and was the school’s running backs coach from 1995 through 2003. He spent the next seven seasons in that role for University of Pittsburgh before joining the Colts in 2011. He has seven seasons of experience coaching running backs in the NFL, most recently from 2016 through ’18 with the Lions.

He left coaching three years ago to pursue other opportunities, saying, “At this junction of my life, I realize that my family needs outweigh my desire to continue coaching football.”

The Bears also signed former Packers offensive assistant Tim Zetts to serve as assistant tight ends coach under Jim Dray and added Omar Young as an offensive quality control coach. Young was in that role for the Packers in 2017 and ’18 and spent the last three seasons at Eastern Illinois.

Zetts and Young both overlapped with new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy during his seven seasons as an assistant for the Packers.

Getsy, defensive coordinator Alan Williams and special teams coordinator Richard Hightower will speak to the media Thursday for the first time since Eberflus hired them.

Bears great Devin Hester seeks another first in 2022 Hall of Fame vote

LOS ANGELES — Exceptions should be made for exceptional talent, and Devin Hester certainly qualifies as such.

There’s no one better to become the first player to make the Hall of Fame as a return man, and he dominated in a way that merits the extra honor of being a first-ballot selection. He’s the greatest of all time, so much so that he transcended the role to be an absolute game-changer for the Bears from 2006 through ’13.

Hester has been supremely confident in his Hall of Fame status ever since retiring after the 2016, he’ll find out if voters validated that when the 2022 class is announced Thursday.

“For my career, that would be the icing on the cake,” he said as he hung out with Bears Hall of Famers at the team’s 100th season celebration in 2019. “Every player that plays football wants to be one of the best to ever do it. When you get the Hall of Fame vote, you can say that.”

Hester arguably has the most star power among the nominees, but competition is tight with 4-8 players expected to be inducted from a field that includes former Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware, 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour, Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson and Jaguars left tackle Tony Boselli.

Longtime Vikings defensive end Jared Allen, who played for the Bears in 2014 and ’15, also is a finalist.

If somehow Hester is shut out this year, it seems inevitable that he’ll make it soon. When he does, he’ll be the 28th Bears’ inductee.

He always loomed as one of the NFL’s most dangerous players and earned all-pro and Pro Bowl honors three times in his first five seasons. He added another Pro Bowl appearance with the Falcons at 32.

He scored 20 regular-season special teams touchdowns — 14 on punts, five on kickoffs and one on a missed field goal — and that’s an NFL record that feels untouchable. That’s where he flexed well beyond the conventional value of a return man, and he did it at “one of the more dangerous positions,” he said.

In 2007, for example, Hester’s eight total touchdowns matched or exceeded Pro Bowl offensive players like Chad Johnson, Willis McGahee and Jason Witten. He outscored Larry Fitzgerald and Reggie Wayne with seven touchdowns in 2010.

“Do I feel like I’m the best that ever did it when it comes to kickoff and punt returns?” Hester said, pausing to give the question real consideration. “Honestly, I do.”

No one’s fighting him on that.

With his incredible speed, agility and field vision, it was considered a disappointment at the time that Hester couldn’t transfer that to become an unstoppable offensive player as well. But even then, he was productive when he dabbled in offense, and his 3,427 yards from scrimmage and 17 offensive touchdowns pad his case for Canton.

And his signature moment, one that surely flashed in the minds of voters when they made their choices, was running back the opening kickoff of Super Bowl XLI for a 92-yard touchdown when the Bears lost to the Colts.

The impact throughout his 10 seasons — in his final game, playing for the Seahawks in the playoffs in January 2017, he had kickoff returns of 50 and 78 yards and took a punt 80 yards — seems certain to get Hester in the Hall of Fame eventually. But he’s hoping for the prestige of being so surefire that he makes it this year.

“It’s not us being worried about making the Hall of Fame; it’s about whether or not we’re gonna be picked on the first ballot,” he told Sports Illustrated. “First-ballot Hall of Famers are Hall of Famers that you have no question they should be a Hall of Famer… I did things that have never been done before.”

And now, perhaps, he’ll pull off one more unprecedented feat.

Injury updates on the Bulls’ Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Pick a collision from the Sunday loss to Philadelphia at the United Center.

It could have been when Ayo Dosunmu, Matt Thomas and Joel Embiid had a three-car pile-up in the paint on a loose ball or it could have happened when Dosunmu went into the base of the stanchion head first.

That wasn’t so much the concern.

The fact that the rookie from Morgan Park High School was now missing games because of it was.

According to Bulls coach Billy Donovan, Dosunmu was in the NBA’s concussion protocol because of a blow to the head suffered in the 76ers game. He did play against Phoenix the following night, but by Tuesday morning it was apparent that something was wrong with the guard.

“After those two things happened he was experiencing after the game some mild headaches,” Donovan said. “Obviously there’s some symptoms that they go through. He was checked out medically after the [Philly] game, he was fine, so he was cleared to play. After the Phoenix game, the next morning he started talking about being a little foggy, sensitivity to light. There were more symptoms there, so we had him see the doctor and it was diagnosed that he had a concussion.”

Not that this Bulls roster needed more injuries to the backcourt, already down Lonzo Ball (knee surgery) and Alex Caruso (wrist surgery), but the good news was a quick recovery was expected for Dosunmu.

Once the symptoms clear, he’ll have to follow protocols with some bike work and then on-the-court activity, and as long as there are no setbacks he should be cleared.

Not the only positive news on Wednesday, as Patrick Williams was not only with the team in Charlotte, but got some shots up after the shootaround, and looked pretty natural in doing so. Further signs that the second-year forward was on the road back quicker than expected.

Williams had been sidelined since tearing ligaments in his wrist just five games into the season, and the original timetable had Williams missing all of the regular season. The Sun-Times reported weeks ago, however, that there was growing momentum in the organization that he could be back sooner, and Donovan confirmed that earlier this week.

How much sooner was still the question?

“I think the biggest thing for Patrick right now is he has to get to a place where he can take resistance on his wrist,” Donovan said. “That’s why I think a lot of this stuff has been very stationary. There’s been no contact. They’ll actually start with him putting his hand against the wall and pushing back and trying to build up strength that way.

“But in terms of him moving, running, cutting, doing things with him not putting his hand in harm’s way, he can do. He has progressed all the way through. His conditioning is all out of sorts being out this long and his timing, but I think the conditioning piece, we can get that under control.”

Brotherly love?

The Ball Bros. reunion would have to wait.

Despite Caruso and Derrick Jones Jr. (finger) making the trip to Charlotte, Lonzo stayed back in Chicago, making sure to stick to the rehab schedule for his knee. Even if it meant passing up the opportunity to see his brother – and Hornets All-Star guard – LaMelo Ball.

“This being a one-day trip, we really felt it would be good to have [Caruso and Jones] with the team and interacting,” Donovan said. “As it relates to Lonzo, I think he’s in such the early stages of his rehab, we didn’t want to miss a day.”
