The reports on Niko's recent championship games don't look good...Dude got benched by his coach (they say he was battling injuries...but...yeah...)

And I don't like the fact that we are signing an unproven player beyond the mid-level (that was the appeal for dude...buy him out and sign him on the cheap...)...

I hope the Bulls will use Niko for trade bait....Because this doesn't solve our need for proven NBA scorers...This kid would be great as a bench player if we had Melo or Love. But as is, this ain't looking good for us...

Hope Gar/Pax got something else up their sleeves....
