Every time I try to get away from the Chicago Bulls , they find a way to bring me back. I just can't quit them. But never in a million years did I expect today to be the day that would revitalize my excitement for the Red Oxen. Against all odds -- well, at least against 98.3 percent of the odds -- the Bulls have somehow landed the top pick in the NBA Draft. Amazingly, they never managed to ...

Bulls coaching options.
mysportsrumors posted 5/17/2008 from mysportsrumors.com
After being turned down by Mike D’Antoni the Chicago Bulls have had to look elsewhere for a head coach. Their main option has been Avery Johnson, whom has said numerous times he plans on taking some time off. Johnson reiterated this again on Dan Patrick’s radio show Thursday that taking time off is definitely in the cards, but did admit to talking with the Bulls.

This is an intriguing pick for the Chicago Bulls. Is Kansas State forward Michael Beasley finally the interior scoring threat Chicago so desperately needs? Or does point guard Derrick Rose fill the void of a true leader and become the conductor of the offense? The Bulls are jammed with young talent in the backcourt and at power forward.
