Kemp A No-Show For Bulls Tryout

"Shawn Kemp's planned workout at the Berto Center never materialized Monday, and it's unlikely the six-time NBA All-Star will receive another invitation from the Bulls," writes K.C. Johnson of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. "Kemp experienced travel problems late Sunday night but still arrived in Chicago early Monday morning. Instead of working out with the Bulls, he traveled to his hometown of Elkhart, Ind., to visit an ailing relative.""The Trail Blazers are still two weeks from the start of training camp, but already coach Nate McMillan said the team has scored a victory," writes Jason Quick of THE OREGONIAN. "The evidence is not hard to spot. The back wall of his office is a large window that overlooks the Blazers' practice court. And even though McMillan seldom turns around to look out the window, he can hear the sounds of progress."
