ESPN is reporting that Suns Coach D'Antoni is getting ready to take the next step and become the Bulls next head coach.
First it was Larry Brown to the BobCats and now D'Antoni to the Bulls. Some of the best head coachs are heading back east. If true this time it makes the Bulls another team that will be able to play the Magic unlike this season.

Kind of interesting if Paxon decides to go from a defensive minded coach in Skiles to an offensive minded coach in D'Antoni. Their personalities (at least towards the players) seem to be opposites as well.
I do think the Bulls would fare well in a running offense, so I think D'Antoni might just be a good fit for them. Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, Thomas and Noah seem like a young team that can really run IMO. A lot like the Suns really, just without a Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire.

Agreed. D'Antoni is overrated. Big time.
