Bulls are insignificant right now.

DPD'ing for another episode of "I'm embarrassed to be a fan of the same team as you."

I particularly like the Bulls where the Bulls have a payroll of $580 million.

So much to ridicule, so little energy to do so.  I'll go with:

We could have had Amare Stoudamire to add more size to Curry and Chandler. Huge mistake! On Pax!!

I assume he would have started Eddy Curry at the small forward spot.

All I know is some team would very smart to hire that Austin fellow as their GM.

He won't be cheap.  A few million, I think.

Cheaper than Phil...

Coach Cal to the Bulls?

Sounds unlikely...though would certainly be interesting.

Interesting.  Then again, just because he says he's not interested doesn't mean it's true.  He hasn't been the most honest guy in recent years.

I know very little about him as a coach, but I do know that he's close with LeBron and that weird, shadowy Worldwide Wes dude that knows everyone.  If hiring Cal means LeBron comes to Chicago, that alone is worth paying him $5 million to coach.

I've been looking for it, but can't find it (maybe the more b-ball savvy types can), but doesn't LeBron have a big-assed kicker (something like $50MM) in his Nike contract if he plays in NY?

I bet that Coach Cal the snake-oil saleman floated that rumor himself just to put a bit more pressure on UK to redo his contract.

The rumors are that the Worldwide Wes dude is going to be an agent for coaches now.  I am all for the bulls hiring one of his clients so maybe Lebron would come to Chicago?  All indication were that Rose and Worldwide Wes close, which resulted in Rose going to Memphis.  But, when Rose signed with BJ Armstrong (Wasserman Group) as his agent and not Leon Rose who is Worldwide Wes' friend, I don't know where they stand or how much influence he actually has. 

Let's just hope Wade somehow comes back home to Chicago.  His ex-wife suing him, and messy divorce probably will not bring him home close to his ex-wife. 

Joe Johnson?

I am praying they take Calipari.  Not because I hate UK in any way, but I just would love to see the skullfuck this would cause their fans.  The moaning and gnashing of teeth would be of Biblical proportions.  I would see what was done, and I would be pleased.  Bleedcubbieblue ain't got SHIT on all those morons.

Joe Johnson? 

Let's hope not.

Just in case you expected anything different.

A week after Vinny Del Negro was fired, the Bulls' coaching search is proceeding at a leisurely pace with no resolution -- or a scheduled interview -- on the immediate horizon.

does the NBA put a moratorium on hiring coaches and/or GMs during the playoffs?

I don't think so.  The Knicks hired D'Antoni pretty early during the playoffs a few years back.

This is fine with me. The player(s) are so much more important. I'd be ok if the Bulls tailored the coach to their personnel instead of the normal other way around.

Makes me wonder if they'll be able to sign one of the big names and give them input into the hire. That sounds weird.
