Player Notes
June 18, 2008
According to the Daily Progress, Ben Gordon says he would like to play for the New York Knicks. He is a restricted free agent this summer and feels that if Derrick Rose is the pick, there won't be enough minutes for guards in Chicago. Gordon grew up in nearby Mount Vernon, NY.

Our View:With Kirk Hinrich, Larry Hughes, Ben Gordon and Thabo Sefolosha all playing guard, it would appear the Bulls would have to move at least one player in order to make room for Rose. Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni is known to covet perimeter shooters like Gordon.

GM John Paxson is denying the news that Doug Collins is going to be named the Bulls' new head coach, according to the Sports Network. Paxson admitted that the two sides were talking but said nothing was imminent, and added, "I have been in contact with Doug Collins in regard to our head coaching position. Contrary to some reports that are currently out there, we have not reached an agreement. Right now, his commitment is covering the Western Conference Finals for TNT. When that series concludes, we will continue our dialogue. In the meantime, I will continue to talk to other candidates and review our options."

Our View:Recently, Collins stated that he did not want to leave his broadcasting job with TNT but that was before the Bulls landed the top overall draft pick in the NBA Draft Lottery.

Doug Collins is expected to be named the new head coach of the Bulls, according to ESPN.com. Collins has a good relationship with GM John Paxson and owner Jerry Reinsdorf, and that led to the decision to bring him back to Chicago. He was fired in 1989, despite leading the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals, and was then replaced by Phil Jackson.

Our View:He has also coached the Wizards and Pistons. His overall record is 332-228, 15-23 in the postseason.
