Joakim Noah has agreed to a 5 year extension with the Bulls worth $60 million. We can now put to rest any chance that he might included in a deal for Carmelo Anthony. Noah, who is the emotional leader and fan favorite for the Bulls, had a breakout season last year, averaging 10.7 points and 11 rebounds while suffering from plantar fasciitis.At roughly $12 mil a season, the Bulls are getting Noah at a fair price. Tyson Chandler ($12.7 mil), Samuel Dalembert ($13.4 mil), Emeka Okafor ($12.4 mil), and Andris Biedrins ($9 mil) are all defensive, rebounding centers who are paid a similar amount. However, they aren't nearly as effective as JoNo. He has shown drastic improvement in each of his first 3 seasons, and we can expect more of the same this season when he plays besides PF Carlos Boozer. Without a doubt, Boozer and Noah will be the loudest front court in the NBA, as they both have a penchant for playing with vocal passion.
