I'm a Bulls fan and I'm going to miss the guy. He is slow as they can be and doesn't have much left anymore but he'll still throw out a good game every once in a while. When he gets those games where he finds his energy he can be a real lift for the team. His little pump fake and slow motion drive to the rim seems to always work - the defenders buy it every time.

He's a crafty player and a great lockerroom guy. His Bulls teammates loved him. I also think that he helped Noah become a better player as they ended up being pretty good friends. Noah rounded out his game much better when Miller got on the team.

I'm glad he got a nice contract and I hope he does well on the Rockets. Good luck to your team and I hope that Yao can stay healthy this year. I'd like to see the Rockets makes ome noise in the west.

I like this. The entire FA sweepstakes, as everyone was biting their nails for Bosh, I have been hoping that this one would come through. Sure Bosh would have been nice, but we'd have given up alot to get him (I like Scola and want him locked up here). Now Yao has a legit backup, we are far better off if he gets the I-bug again, and Scola remains a Rocket.

I look forward to seeing this team together and healthy. Seems we've been saying it the last few years - if this team is healthy, it can contend... I'll say it again. If healthy, this team is going to kick a**.

And if not? They're still pretty good if one of the stars goes down. The depth here is amazing.

I think it's fine since we don't have any premadonnas on our team and some real team players (Battier, Scola, Yao). The only problem I can see is the PG spot. Lowry deserves more than 20-25mins a game and he knows it.

Lowrys minutes have never been a problem. He averaged 24.3MPG last season. Maybe a minute or two more, but definitely not something to worry about
