I'm sure some old school journalism types will hate that back page, but it's just totally sweet.

This is an intriguing pick for the Chicago Bulls. Is Kansas State forward Michael Beasley finally the interior scoring threat Chicago so desperately needs? Or does point guard Derrick Rose fill the void of a true leader and become the conductor of the offense? The Bulls are jammed with young talent in the backcourt and at power forward. Will trades be made? Who will the new coach want?Fuck. Ing. Awe. Some.
