Zach Zaidman's younger, better looking, and more talented brother.

Win or lose, this season has just become 100 times better if he makes the roster.

Good he can be the starting C when we trade Noah for Melo.

This is great news. He will look good side by side with the birdman once the trade is done.

is it possible to simultaneously get more grindy and more thuggish?

_________________

This just made my morning I hope to god he makes the roster. Between him and the 7 foot Turk the unintentional comedy of this Bulls season has some potential

_________________

My guess is he is insurance in case the Turk is a complete bust. If Asik can't play, he will probably be sent to the NBDL, which would give a roster spot to Scalabrine.

_________________

Don't toy with my emotions here. The Bulls need both of them in the rotation

_________________

I completely agree. I want Scalabrine running the floor every night. I'll buy the jersey and create the man's fan club. I just wouldn't be surprised if he gets waived.

For what its worth pretty sure Noah is now expendible in the Melo deal

Stacey King is going to call him "Jackie Moon" all season long.

The Bulls waived Chris Richard today. That makes Scalabrine an absolute lock to make the final roster.

The Bulls are also rumored to be meeting with Erick Dampier today. Thoughts?

_________________

I think KS mentioned Dampier before and I'm thinking there has to be something wrong here...he put up pretty solid numbers with Dallas. I know Haywood kind of contributed to less playing time for him. But if he were healthy then yes of course I would want him, I'm just surprised he's still out there

THE SCALABRINE ERA BEGINS!

OMG this guy sucks. Someone please provide a well thought out, reasonable explanation as to why this guy was cheered when he came off the bench in Boston? Cus I gotta a bad feeling the same thing will happen here.

Keeping Score is asleep at the wheel. Who knew Scalabrine had coaching chops? We got us a floor general in the paint (or maybe on the bench).

Bulls' Rose calls Scalabrine 'a coach on the floor'
By K.C. Johnson

There's this shortsighted perception of Brian Scalabrine as some mascot, the non-athletic guy at the end of the bench who gets his name chanted at the end of blowouts.

That perception, say those who play with Scalabrine, is wrong.

"He's a coach on the floor," Derrick Rose said. "When we don't know what to run, Scal is helping me and the other point guards, telling me where to go. He makes my job a lot easier."

There have been sporadic questions lately from reporters asking if Scalabrine, who signed a non-guaranteed contract to come to Bulls camp, will make the final roster. Trust this: Scalabrine made the team the day he signed the deal.

Tom Thibodeau has a comfort level with Scalabrine from their three seasons together in Boston. Thibodeau values practice, and Scalabrine is known universally around the league as a great practice player. And Thibodeau also knows Scalabrine can go a week without playing and still step in and contribute.

Thibodeau didn't need Scalabrine's 6-for-7 shooting against the Raptors on Wednesday night to know that.

"He's a solid veteran," Thibodeau said. "He gives you veteran leadership. He's been in a lot of situations. We were short-handed, and that's why I like him. He stays ready to play. You put him out there and he can guard people. His team defense is very good.

"And offensively, he's smart. He keeps the ball moving. He knows where the matchups are. He knows who's hot. He knows how the play is being defended. You can count on him."

Just like you can count on Scalabrine making the team.
