It would be great to see POB make his way back into the NBA. Youth is no longer the hurdle for him as it was when he came out too early.

I wonder what thibodeau thought of him when they were together in boston... Doc rivers obviously didn't think much of him but it would be much fun if he were to end up a bulls reserve who earned a few minutes. Then you could trade for parker and the build could be bradley north.

That would be awesome. Unfortunately I don't see the Bulls taking a flyer on POB. I am hoping they swing a deal for AP though...I'll be purchasing that jersey immediately if they do!

It's probably better if he doesn't make his way onto the Bull's roster. They have a lot of big men, and he wouldn't get much PT. He doesn't seem good enough to bump Brian Scalabrine off the roster.
