It looks like it is going to be another long year for the Chicago Bulls and their supporters, with the youthful team sporting even more youth this year with six rookies expected to be on the team's 15 man roster.
While most know about Ben Gordon, Leul Deng, and Argentinian Andres Nocioni, the likes of 2003 second-round pick Tommy Smith, 2004 second-round pick Chris Duhon and undrafted free agent Jared Reiner all have made the team with solid performances in training camp.

According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune the relationship between the Chicago Bulls and Eddie Robinson finally appears to be at an end.
According to two league sources, the Bulls and representatives for Eddie Robinson have reached an agreement on a buyout which will see the forgotten forward receive $10.2 million of the $14.05 million remaining on his five-year, $31.2 million contract that runs through 2005-06.
Neither Robinson, his agents nor Bulls general manager John Paxson would comment on the agreement, which will be announced Monday when final rosters are set.
A league source indicated Miami already has expressed interest in offering Robinson a non-guaranteed contract.

Maybe Eddie Robinson's time in Chicago is not up after all.
According to Paul Ladewski of the Daily SouthTown the Bulls and Robinson have been working on their relationship and Robinson could rejoin the team as early as this weekend, but only if he agrees to accept a lesser role off the bench and not create a distraction for the rest of the team.
"We've talked about a lot of things, but that's one of the options," Bulls general manager John Paxson said. "The situation has to be resolved soon."
Robinson's time in Chicago has been one of turmoil, with the latest having the Bulls advise Robinson not to attend games as the forward remained sidelined with a sore toe.
"We've asked the players to accept their roles, and Eddie is no different than the rest," Paxson said. "It's important that we have players who buy into the program."
The two sides discussed a buyout of the final two years of Robinson's deal, but an agreement could not be reached on the financial terms.
