Rumor Mill

The New York Daily News reports that Mark Jackson -- the lead candidate to take over for Isiah Thomas as head coach of the Knicks -- has also been contacted by the Bulls about that coaching vacancy. Jackson is expected to meet with Donnie Walsh within the next week, but it is not clear if he intends to interview for the Bulls job. Celtics associate head coach Tom Thibodeau is another possibility for the Bulls, according to Newsday. (updated: 04/22/2008)

Lets Get Avery Johnson Now

With D'Antoni going to the Knicks, I think Pax should focus on Avery Johnson. He seems like he doesnt put up with much. I thought D'Antoni's style would have been fun to watch though.

Looks like Rick Carlisle is set to sign a contract with Dallas to coach the Mav's.

4 year 17 million is a steal, for IMO the best available coach the Bulls SHOULD have signed.
