Rose managed 15 votes for the all-NBA team. No other Bulls got any votes (no surprise there, although I thought maybe Noah would sneak one). Bogut making the third team was probably the biggest surprise.

Of our FA targets, LeBron & Wade made the first team, Amare the second team (at center), Johnson the third team, Bosh, Lee & Boozer the 1st, 3rd and 4th most votes of the guys missing out. Johnson making the third team probably helps his case for asking the max.

On the defensive teams, Kirk did decently with 9 votes (1 first) for the all-defensive team, was interesting that he was beaten out by Thabo who got 14 votes. Noah only managed 4, which is a bit of a disappointment.

I can't work out how Duncan gets voted on as the center for 2nd team all-D but as a forward on the 3rd team all-NBA. It's a bit silly really, although I'm sure Bogut is happy (and Bosh unhappy) things worked out that way.

I'm guessing that Thabo made quite a name for himself defensively this year for a rising OKC team. Now when are people going to start complaining that we traded away Thabo instead of Kirk?
