<P>현지시간으로 12월 9일 유나이티드 센터에서 열리는 Lal @ Chi 게임에서~ </P>
<P>LA 레이커스 감독이 필 잭슨이어서 저때 33번 결번식을 가지는거 같습니다. </P>

<P><STRONG>Bulls To Honor Pippen </STRONG></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Daily Herald - The Bulls will retire Scottie Pippen’s No. 33 jersey at halftime of a Dec. 9 game against the Los Angeles Lakers , according to Daily Herald columnist Mike McGraw. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>There was never much question whether Pippen’s number would someday hang from the rafters at the United Center, even after he was traded to Houston in 1999 following the Bulls’ sixth championship. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Pippen’s relationship with the Bulls resumed when John Paxson took over as general manager in 2003. Paxson signed the then 37-year-old Pippen as a free agent that summer, though the return trip to Chicago didn’t work out as hoped. He played in just 23 games that season because of a chronically sore left knee and officially retired last September. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>The game against the Lakers was a natural choice, because former Bulls coach Phil Jackson is back with Los Angeles after a year off and will be able to attend the ceremony. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>The Bulls first acquired Pippen in a 1987 draft-night trade with Seattle. A fixture on the Bulls for the next 11 years, Pippen and Michael Jordan were the two players who were members of all six championship teams.</P>

<P><STRONG>Raptors Expected To Extend Invite To Tabuse </STRONG></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Toronto Star - Omar Cook is not going to get a chance to reprise his role as a third-string Raptor point guard. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>The team has decided not to invite Cook to training camp which begins early next month, and is expected to offer an invitation to Yuta Tabuse, a 5-foot-9 guard who last season became the first Japanese-born player to play in an NBA game. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Cook, who spent the final two weeks of last season with the Raptors, did little in a stint at the summer leagues to warrant a chance to make the team again, general manager Rob Babcock said yesterday. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>"He did a good job for us but that's not the direction we want to go," Babcock said of the 6-foot-1, 23-year old Cook, who averaged 4.6 points and 4.4 assists per game in five games with Toronto last season. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>According to league sources, the Raptors are going to have Tabuse on hand when camp begins Oct. 4 at Brock University in St. Catharines. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>"I have talked to his representatives, he is someone we are considering," said Babcock. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Tabuse spent most of last season on the roster of the Phoenix Suns but appeared in just four games. The 24-year-old has also played in the ABA with the Long Beach Jam and is a former rookie of the year in the Japan pro league. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>However, Tabuse isn't about to be handed the third-string job in Toronto. Babcock said he expects to invite two or three guards to camp, all without guaranteed contracts, and let them fight it out for a roster spot behind incumbent Rafer Alston and rookie Jose Calderon. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>That will be the only fight for a job in camp, though, since the Raptors already have 14 players with guaranteed contracts and the most they can carry is 15. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>"We're not going to bring in a lot of people; we'll probably have 17 or 18," said the GM. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>토론토 팀내 또다른 PG인 오마 쿡의 이름도 언급되고 있는데, 자세한 내용은 모르겠네요 ㅎㅎ</P>
