ESPN is reporting that the Bulls are in talks, and it appears the Suns are splitting ways. It wouldn’t be a bad fit, given that the Bulls are a young, energetic squad that would fit well with D’Antoni’s style of play, and the Bulls, young and energetic as they were this year, also stunk.

I hardly doubt he’ll be able to turn Kirk Hinrich into Steve Nash, but the Suns weren’t the Suns until he took over. He’ll get to work closely with Tyrus Thomas, Ben Gordon, Joahkim Noah and Luol Deng, just to name a few. And in the East, as the Hawks have shown, all it takes is 37 wins to make a little noise come May.
