Novak and Diener Updates

[Avenue Commons]

Talked to TD's father in law yesterday. Said that TD was in Italy and looking forwarding to playing. Phil said TD had some kind of injury right now though. Confirmed that TD could have been the Bucks third guard.

News reports in Chicago say the Bulls worked out Novak as a "Stretch 4" for their final roster spot. http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-bulls-confidential/2010/09/bulls-looking-at-stretch-fours.html

Novak is about to sign a deal with the Mavericks

Novak is about to sign a deal with the Mavericks

source? That would be exciting for him if true.

The Mavs want a shooter/poor defender to replace Dirk?  Interesting.  You'd think that they would want a defensive player.

Chicago might be a better fit for him with the dribble, drive, and kick offense.  There is enough defense (except Boozer) on the front line in Chicago so Novak could find a nice role where he is not asked to do too much.

Sounds like the Bulls are Novak's last hope. I think playing for the Bulls would be great for him. He'd be near home and would play multiple games in the BC. D. Rose penetrating and kicking to Novak would be great. Novak can help spread the floor, even if he can't play D nor block shots at 6'10".

Looks like Bulls are on the verge of signing Brian Scalabrine.  Could eliminate any chance of Stevie signing in Chicago. 

Damn...would LOVE to see Novak on the Bulls roster.

I'm not going to reveal my source but I know for a fact that he is headed to Dallas.

[CAINMUTINY]

Nevermind, that article complete negates what I was told.
