Joakim Noah Blinks, Beat Reporters Fall Over Each Other To Tell The Tale

If you didn't make it past the 3000 page novel on Joakim Noah's future as the world's worst doughnut delivery boy, then you missed some interesting tidbits:

Ladewski in the Southtown:

Gordon denied a New York Daily News report that claimed he was in the market for a five-year, $70 million contract extension. He is eligible to become a restricted free agent after the season. Asked whether $55 million is closer to the truth, Gordon said, "No comment."

K.C. Johnson's Trib Column:

General manager John Paxson will consider sending Curry to the Bulls' D-League affiliate occasionally during the season to make sure the second-round pick gets playing experience.

In the MJS: Yi may be starting against the Bulls tonight, and Krystkowiak likes a good sweat on game day.
