Kerr 1/1 on 8x10, asked him if he signs more GS or Bulls items-he said Bulls and it's not even close

Barnes (what a tool) started to come off court and I yelled to him so he turned around and walked back on court then exited far tunnel so he wouldn't have to sign

1/26-TWolves

Totally bummer they moved from great hotel to the crap access hotel. It was 70 degrees so I went anyways hoping they would still sign.

Hummel, Kevin Martin, Flip Saunders and Mo Williams all signed

Wiggins, Bennett, Budinger, Dieng, Muhammad, Levine all ignored

I left to go get my family for the game since I had tickets and missed last 2-3 people at hotel. I heard that Wiggins signed at the game but I was not there to get him. They come back through in March so hopefully it goes better then but hotel really hurts.
