Pau Gasol, Fred Hoiberg explaining Bulls inconsistencies

Illinois basketball: six steps to Regaining Chicago

If true, this is really really disappointing, and could prelude something boring. Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp claims that his side won't be making any transfer moves in the winter window.
