I think the Bulls may pass the Knicks as the most dysfunctional organization in the NBA. The coaching search has been emberassing, the team has serious chemistry issues, and the GM doesn't know when to pull the trigger on trades.

Del Negro may turn out to be ok, but I think Collins would've been a better choice. Or Porter, or Thibadeau, or Brian Hill

The Central Division is a mess.

Hey - Bulls could not get D'antoni so they went for another Italian

he is familiar with D'Antoni's system

Here's the key: He's willing to sign to sign for $2 million a year for 2 years with an option for a third year

That makes him one of lowest paid coaches in NBA

The Bucks should be very thankful that Chicago i) axed Scott Skiles, and ii) hired a rookie coach (they always take time to emerge as winners).

I now see the Bucks overtaking the Bulls and will climb out of the Central Cellar.

All I know about Del Negro, was that he liked to shoot from the perimeter at NC State. Decent college player.

A very curious hire, but at least it is not from the rehire can.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
