Chicago Bulls Wiretap

Hassell takes the offensive

K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune writes "Less than two weeks ago, Trenton Hassell walked out of a home exhibition game at halftime after a heated exchange with coach Bill Cartwright. Wednesday night, Hassell walked out of the FleetCenter a hero."

Hassell scored the Bulls final 8 points including a game winning 3-pointer with one minute remaining in the Bulls’ 99-96 victory over the Boston Celtics. "My role is playing defense," Hassell said. "But I know I can score. That's all I did in college."

Hassell was given the chore of guarding the Celtics Paul Pierce who finished with 28 points for the game, but scored only 5 points in the 4th quarter.

Barkley acquired by Bulls and waived

ESPN.com reports that the Chicago Bulls acquired guard Erick Barkley from the Spurs today in exchange for future considerations. The Bulls also received an undisclosed amount of cash in the deal.

Barkley was then waived by the Bulls. If he clears waivers, he will be an unrestricted free agent and his guaranteed salary will count against the Bulls’ team salary this season.
