The Bulls have apparently hired Boston Celtic assistant, Tom Thibodeau, to be their next head coach-- though none of that will become official until the NBA Finals have concluded. Chicago Bulls blogger, Sam Smith, has a detailed and lengthy article here. I personally think this sounds like a great hire. Thibodeau is recognized around the league as a quality assistant with a certain genius for defense. He's very experienced with, I think, 17 years in the league, and so he's not like a Vinny Del Negro sort of hire. Additionally it seems he's well respected by players he's coached as well as ones he hasn't, so he gives the Bulls a nice bit of legitimacy in this pivotal free agency year.
Which brings me to LeBron. William "World Wide Wes" Wesley, major NBA insider, is now indicating that LeBron is leaning towards the Chicago Bulls now that Tom Thibodeau is in place. This would instantly turn the Bulls into a championship contender, and I just can't wait to see how it plays out.
