 Thursday, Feb 8 The NBA trade deadline is over. Let's see how the local team did … The Bulls sent Jameer Nelson (no, that's not a mistake — he was a Bull for a week) to the Pistons for Willie Reed (who was then waived) and also sent Milocan Rakovic (no that's not a mistake — the Bulls have had his rights since 2014 even though he's never played) to the Trail Blazers for Noah Vonleh. Not the most exciting day. At least not in comparison to the Cavaliers, who traded Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose and Isaiah Thomas. Good lord. But this is exciting: Kris Dunn is out of the concussion protocol and on track to play next week. And Lauri Markkanen is back from paternity leave and on track to play tomorrow. Us? We're excited to make snow angels. |
| The Brewers are pre-selling tickets to this season's slate of Cubs games at Miller Park. But only to Wisconsin residents. Cool story, guys. The Cubs have bigger things to worry about — as do the unsigned free agents. |

| If the Hawks want to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, their core must start performing. And we don't just mean their abs. Tonight: Home vs. the Stars (7:30 p.m., NBCSCH). Soon: Olympic hockey, sans NHL players. |

| The Bears had one of their worst receiver groups last season — Kendall Wright was the "best" with 25 catches. If any of them want to have Brian Urlacher problems (picking a Hall of Fame introducer), they better get to gettin'. |
