Holdovers May Stay
Bulls assistant coaches Ron Adams, Pete Myers and Mike Wilhelm are all holdovers
from last season's staff. Though it is unclear whether Vinny Del Negro will inherit 
the trio, GM John Paxson has promised Myers and Adams they will be part of the 
organization if they want to remain.
The name of Bill Cartwright could resurface. Currently an assistant with the New 
Jersey Nets, Cartwright reportedly was interested in rejoining the Bulls' staff as an 
assistant if Paxson settled on an inexperienced coach. -- Chicago Sun-Times

If you had to create an all time starting lineup, who would be in it?   I think you have to consider the players situations and such.  An example is that as good as Wilt Chamberain many people, including me, think that he would not be anywhere as dominant if he played against better competition.

I think the Bulls should and will draft Derrick Rose.  Since many of the people on BlogaBull including me think Rose is the best choice for Chicago I am curious what we should do with Kirk Hinrich after we draft Derrick Rose.

I do not know how reliable this source is, and I was not able to find the site the guy found this information on, but I though it was interesing.  The guy says:

I just read some insider info posted on a Wolves board (not RealGM), by a reliable
 poster, that McHale really dislikes Beasley. He thinks he has severe character 
issues and compares him to J.R. Rider. 
The practical implication of this is that if they get the #2 pick and Rose is gone, 
they may be open to trading down. Several of the posters think the Bulls would be 
a good trading partner, specifically mentioning Noah + the Bulls' pick for the #2 pick.

Calderon Wants To Start
Jose Calderon | Raptors
All year long, Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon insisted whether he started 
or not did not matter. With T.J. Ford in and out of Toronto's lineup at point guard, and 
struggling in a reserve role, it was the media-friendly line to take.

With the season over, however, and restricted free agency pending, Calderon has 
changed his tone.

"I want to be a starter and [on] a team that aspires for everything," Calderon said 
on his Web site (www.josemanuelcalderon.com). -- The National Post

Bryan Colangelo said he has yet to have any serious contract discussions with 
Calderon's agents and he hasn't reached out to Ford to see if the issue can be 
resolved.

"I've always said I found it a positive that T.J. felt he was a starter in the NBA," 
Colangelo said yesterday. "Jose has obviously displayed he's capable of having 
that attitude as well as being willing to make sacrifices." -- Toronto Star

If you look at the playoff teams this year, you will see that a large majority of them have good point guards, and that the better teams in the west and the east have a true pg on their team.  Examples:  Detroit: Billups, Toronto: Ford and Calderon, NO: Chris Paul, Dallas: Kidd, Utah: Williams, and Phoenix: Nash.  These players in my opinion are all really good and get their teammates involved.  The only elite point guard who is not in the playoffs is Baron Davis who didn't get in because the west is so dominate and barely missed the playoffs.  I don't think we should look for a big man for a few reasons.  First of all I think Tyrus and Joakim will pan out into good nba players, especially Tyrus.  If they have a good coach and a point guard that can make the game easier for them ala Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire.
