The Bulls signed the veteran guard to a deal that doesn't become fully guaranteed until Jan. 10. That means they can waive Robinson with no penalty any time before that date, an option that always has been under consideration internally. Teague's development, not to mention Derrick Rose's expected return, could make Robinson expendable. Chicago Tribune

Robinson said afterward that he knew Thibodeau wasn't happy with the play, and he expected to get the call into the principal's office for it even thought he insisted, 'I ain't going to do it again.'' According to Thibodeau, no, Robinson won't. "Yeah, we talked about it,'' Thibodeau said. "The thing ... I'll say this, obviously I didn't like the play. I like the unselfishness, though, and I told him that. I liked the fact that he saw Jimmy coming down and he wanted to drop it off to him and let him score the ball. Other than that play, I thought he did a lot of good things for us. I just want him to channel that the right way. I want him to make winning basketball plays, and I want that to be first and foremost, and I think it's important to respect the game.'' Chicago Sun-Times

Despite standing just 5-foot-9, Nate Robinson is the only three-time Slam Dunk champion in NBA history. He colorfully won the 2006, 2009 and 2010 events at All-Star weekend. Don't look for a fourth title. "I'm done dunking in those competitions but not in the games," Robinson said, smiling. "I'm going to try to get a lot of dunks this season. A lot of people have been asking me, especially (Carlos) Boozer. He has been saying he can't wait until I dunk on someone so he can scream." Chicago Tribune

After the basketballs were picked up at the end of practice “Happy Birthday” could be heard throughout the Berto Center. But just a few minutes later Rose was back rehabbing, unavailable to discuss his big day. “We should make him go (rehab) twice,” coach Tom Thibodeau said of a birthday gift. Rose isn’t going home completely empty-handed though. “I got him an iPhone already,” new Bull Nate Robinson said. “The iPhone 5.” Why the new phone? “He’s 24,” Robinson said. “He’s still young. I want to make sure he’s cool.” ESPN.com

The Chicago Bulls are expected to sign point guard Nate Robinson, his agent, Aaron Goodwin, told SI.com. SI.com

Chicago Bulls, Free Agency, Nate Robinson 

The deal, which Goodwin said should be finalized "barring unforeseen problems," will likely pay the eight-year veteran the veteran's minimum of $1.2 million for next season. Robinson, who regained his form as a reserve for Golden State last season after playing just four games in the second half of the 2010-11 campaign with Oklahoma City, will join veteran point guard Kirk Hinrich in the Bulls' Derrick Rose-less backcourt after his recent return. Hinrich, who signed a two-year, $8 million deal last week with the Bulls, spent his first seven seasons in Chicago before he was traded to Washington in June 2010 and later traded to Atlanta in Feb. 2011.
