Joel Lindpere to Chicago

Joel Lindpere has been shipped off to Chicago. While this is sad, as Lindpere was a fan favorite, it makes sense given the new front office’s slash and burn mentality. 2012 was a down year for Lindpere after a being team MVP in 2010 and a good showing in 2011. Whatever the plans are for this team still remain to be seen, but Lindpere is obviously not a part of it.

The main thing I want to know is, how did Dane Richards manage to stay on this team longer then Lindpere? Seriously, how did that happen?
